Wire Man

A rigged and animated recreation of a wire-sculpture that I made out of a single piece of 17 gauge steel fencing wire. Recreated in Maya by extruding mesh along a 3D path made using a CV curve tool. Rigging and walk cycle done in Advanced Skeleton then altered manually to add more bounce and follow-through. Music done by Logan Hornyak, Melaina Kol.

Initial inspiration: a wire man I made over the summer out of fencing wire

New iteration of wire man with similar face.  Body changed to have better joints for bending as a rig
