A while ago I worked on a bouncing ball exercise to showcase emotion, you can find the thread here >
http://www.cgtantra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21469, and then I came across the
Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions.
So here I have done a few poses, depicting basic emotions, with Lt. Dan and I’m planning to do small animations based on them. Just because he does not have a face or even a body to begin with, does not mean he cannot show his emotion. I take it as a challenge and hope you can identify the emotion looking at the pose (color-coded for your convenience), if not just move the mouse over the image to see what it is.
Will be posting the animations soon, thank you!
