Capstone Progress Report 1: Mechanical Wolf

The first few weeks I have been focused on getting the mechanical wolf modeled to completion. Most of the modelling has gone without any issues. The only major concern is that I still need to design a piston drive hub that fits inside the wolf's chest cavity.

The only other hiccup is that I have to make changes to the source material so that the rig will be articulate in the ways I want, and so that the parts move without clipping into one another. This hasn't been too much as a problem, as I have created stand ins of the same volume of the finished parts that I can rotate and position in order to check for intersecting geometry when the wolf moves.

Below are some screenshots of my progress:
