cucumber carl rigging

[kfarr]

For experimental purposes only, this was an experiment to rig an existing 3D model asset purchased from sketchfab.com.

WIP to rig from @gnansai pasted here as a zip file

Potential modifications to differentiate from copyrighted Pickle Rick character:

• new name: Cucumber Carl
• new texture: cucumber -- instead of warts have stripes like a striped or partially peeled cucumber
• mustache and belly?

Hi @kfarr Here is an update of cucumber carl

Here are the files CucumberCarl_Rig.zip 25223402/5f866035-27b6-4000-ae28-400c3dee4ba3)

@gnansai does this have an animation or just rigging?

could you add an animation of length 1 second that goes from fully closed to fully open mouth?

[gnansai]

Hi @kfarr I have added the animation of mouth closed - open - closed Here are the files CucumberCarl_Rig_v02_animation.zip

Here is the screen record of the animation

Excellent, thanks @gnansai ! I did a first pass at it and have some feedback from "user testing" with my kids:

• can we 5x the mouth opening distance on the 1 second animation? In other words, if we say the height at 1 second is 1cm, instead we would like a 5cm maximum mouth opening height. This may require deforming the cucumber mesh a bit to accommodate that mouth height. The reason is that people are moving their fingers wide and expect the cucumber to keep opening and don't understand why it stops at a specific location. I think 5 cm is reasonable extreme, 10cm is larger than the whole cucumber and starts to get really ridiculous.
• can you create a 2nd version named "Carla" that is a darker shade of green, no bumps, and has long hair perhaps dread-style with darker green than her skin? We will then make the option for the user to switch between carl and carla objects before entering AR mode

Hi @kfarr II have increased the mouth opening distance(lower jaw) in the animation. Here is the GLB file for the Cucumber Carl. Please test with this file and Do let me know if you face any issues. cucumber_carl_face_rig_test_03_bone_rig_animation.zip

The Bone is moving from 8.1468cm to -25.743cm. I have adjusted the weight painting of the lower jaw bone to fit the deformation.

@gnansai wow these look great, thanks!

This task is complete from a modeling standpoint. This issue will be the "source of truth" for the models for now, it will be integrated as part of this ticket: https://github.com/kfarr/cucumber-comedy-club/issues/1
