Turntable
The animations and turntable video is now completed, honestly I would have liked to put more time into the animations to make them look a lot better than they do now, but as animating was not an essential part of my proposal I don't feel too bad about leaving them as they are now.

Passes
With all of the rigging out of the way I can now just focus on the presentation of my project.
I have already tidied up each project folder to have only the necessary files and without any extra data slowing it down, so they are now ready to be handed in as a finished product. I'm currently working on a turntable video to showcase the two characters, and if i've got time i'll throw in some hastily made animations too.
The various passes that will be on show, textured, ambient occlusion and wireframe.

Facial Rigging
Facial rigging for the Referee is now complete, here you can see the various lattices, clusters and controllers used to animate his face. The brow controls have a lot more impact on this character as opposed to the Luchador because of his eyebrows.

Fleshy Eye Rig
I just implemented a 'Fleshy Eye' Expression to both my character rigs, this means that the eyelid joints are driven by the direction that the eye joint is looking, making the eyelids deform as the character looks around. It gives the characters a lot more realism in their animation.
Mirror Weights Tool
While skinning the referee I had a number of problems with the mirror skin weights tool no matter what options I tried to fix them. Weights were not being mirrored accurately and in many cases the previously painted weights were being overwritten causing a lot of lost work time. Eventually after a lot of hassle and painting weights for both sides individually the problem seemed to subside somewhat and now the mirror weight tool works for the most part...
