Alright so we have come along way in school we have just been working on a Joan of Arc tutorial which can be found online. It is good for the basics of modeling and rigging but I think my class is now out the point where we want to chuck the Joan character in the dumpster and say "bye bye".
I am very excited though because we will be starting our own character design of a robot! the design that I have come up is a military robotic dog that is used for gathering info on locations.
