BFF Animals - Weighted Stuffed Animals: Anton

To the collection of BFF Animals I present you "Anton The Dog".

Inspired from Charles the Dog "The first one I made" I wanted a genuine leather version as well. I wanted this weighted toy dog model to be more playfull with attachable/de-attachable ears and tail with a simple button click/lock.

For the little animation I did, i simply rigged the ears, tail and made a head, neck and base joint.. nothing more.. just to add that little motion.

Biggest struggles with this project was to get the zDepth pass to work in Fusion (I ended up using AE instead) and also GPU rendering in Maya is very unstable, seems like NOT using render pass layers is the way to go.. sadly :(.
