Centaur Animation test


I have been playing around with animations on my centaur a bit, it turns out to be every bit as tricky as I thought it would (perhaps more). The hair is not skinned. the rest has only default skin and only half the body has a control rig, but I am messing around trying to figure out how to go about this. At the moment it is looking truly beautiful, but at least it is going more in the right direction than it did when I started out.

The difficulty does not only lie in the fact that it is a horse (which are very difficult to animate) but also in that it has double spines, four arms and a number of tails, including the hair. I need to figure out a way to either create a control rig where I can have 6 limbs and double spines or perhaps a way to animate without a control rig.

Might be a good idea to take inspiration from Pacman for my next character... But then again, what's the point if you don't try to challenge yourself? (Do not know how I manage to find a way to make everything as difficult as possible for myself).
