Squirrel animation

Hello everyone this is my first character animation, I really enjoyed animating a character.  We downloaded a squirrel rig from online then used it for our assignment.  I initially started with flash with my basic planning.  Then I took the jpeg sequence of my flash animation then used it as reference for my d animation through fcheck and then importing it into the scene.  Firstly I fixed the camera, then I made a model of a primitive refrigerator as required by my plan.   Then I kept tangents in step tangents and then started blocking my animation.  It took a lot of time since for the first time we are were doing the character animation and once I finished with the squirrel body blocking, the tail blocking was a big challenge, however after many days finally I got average level tail movement then I started of tweaking the graph it also was very time consuming but I liked the working on it getting slow in and slow out it was quite fun even though initially it was scary looking at the huge set of graphs.  Finally I landed on this output but still I am not happy with this,  I will re update it soon.

Global Light Rig Setup

Hi everybody in this assignment we setup a global light rig which will be very helpful to present models and add related shots. This rig is really awesome it  gives amazing output in software render with all the soft shadows and the model looks really fantastic, I never thought software render can give such a beautiful output.  And its portable also. The light rig will have two sets of directional lights, one set on the top which behaves as a sunlight and another set act as ground light.  The direction of directional lights can be controlled by their respective controls. And the intensity of the lights can also be controlled by the attribute given in the master light rig control I used node editor to get this connection. I have downloaded a model from -https://free3d.com   Model credits: https://free3d.com Here is the diffrence between various render outputs: 1) With only directional light 2)  With only Light Rig( 0.1 intensity ) 2)  With only Light
