Computer Animation: Simple Poly Exercises

Simple Poly was our final assignment of Computer Animation I. We had to design, build, and rig a simple round shaped character with legs and an object that can act as a follow through action. My character is a Christmas Elf, and his follow through motions are on is shoe toes and hat. 

These were my possible character designs:

This is my final character design:

For this exercise we had to animate our character turning around at least 90 degrees. My Elf seems to have had a bit too much eggnog and is still feeling a bit tipsy!
