This is a link to the Video of my Mushroom animation.
The idea of this subtle animation is create the most realistic flow of movement.
Below is an image of what the bones look like in the mushroom.
These are created using the skin modifier.
You can these and then assign what you want them to affect... for example the tip of the last bone controls movement of the head on the mushroom.
This is the overhead view of the mushroom whilst the bones are inside the mushroom.
Here is how i made the Mushroom. I selected my mushroom then right clicked and selected 'Object Properties' this allows me to toggle the see though option under Display Properties.Once this is toggled on it looks like this below:
This is much easier now for editing and animating the model as i can see where the bones are and its much easier to select them.
It's also nice to see when playing back your animation what kind of movements the bones make which can help your judgement if any adjustments are needed.
