Iron Giant Revised and Armour Rigging Commences!

Much happier with the current render of the Iron Giant. Hoping to put some footsteps in the grass and roto some lights for his eyes. I completely lucked out in the fact that the armour pretty much fits my body type. I had orthogonal stills of myself taken and was gearing up to re-shape the entire suit, but just a slight re-sizing of the helmet pretty much did the job! Now all that's needed is to rig the suit and match it to the reference footage I shot. I was going to look into motion capture, but since I've never done it before I didn't want to spend the time learning when I could get a good quality animation from the reference footage just as fast.
