Toaster Renders

After two grueling weeks of rigging - I have finally finished my rig. I have now moved on to enveloping my toaster and as you can see here there are still a few problems with the envelope that I hope to sort out soon. Not only have I started enveloping - I have tried my hand at some shape animation for the mouth and have added smile, sad and closed mouth shapes. I had a lot of fun playing around with the shape manager within XSI and advise anyone to have a go =P.

Once I have finished enveloping the Toaster I will then move on to primary animation movements to show the range of movements possible without breaking the rig.
