Hektor the White Shepherd

Practicing rigging and animating quadrupeds.
Having a White Swiss Shepherd has been a great resource for references :).
Glad to share the process as I had a blast working on this project.

Arcs and overlap - Walk

Rig

Control Rig - eyelid movement and breathing executed with morphing - steered with Blender drivers.

Used photogrammetry software to generate dogs head, then retopologized.
