Body Paint

I'm just in the middle of a spare week and have been messing around in C4D Body Paint for the first time. Been trying to follow some tutorials to enable me to split my head mess up in a more manageable manner but it seems my mess is more complicated than that of the tutorial so i didn't really get very far on that method.

A combination of material textures and spraying onto the character with an airbrush tool seems to get close to what I want although you're not 100% on control where the brush wants to spray in two places at once due to the way I've created the mesh I guess.



So, the things I've achieved so far this summer:
1- Added Jiggle to the nose and eyebrows
2 - Animated expressions using a set of morphs
3 - Coloured up the skin using Body Paint

What's next:
1 - Create his gown
2 - Draw up the scenery
3 - Record the dialogue
4 - Piece the animation together syncing it to the dialogue

I want to get this sorted in the next 3 weeks so I can focus in my ideas for next year.
