I'm 99.9999% positive we will be completely finished modeling our DOG backhoe by the time this stream broadcasts! After 7 months in the making, this is a big deal. I imagine this stream will be celebratory in nature, looking over the final model, and demoing either the modeling of the floor mat (which requires all other interior parts to be completed, or possibly exploring what an exploded-view animation could look like.
The demonstration portion of the stream explores the anatomy of an assembly animation. When we have a model as complex as this backhoe, what cooler way to show it off than seeing it "build itself" piece by piece? Though it may appear complicated, thankfully it's not too difficult to animated this kind of thing.
This complex model is a collaborative effort between instructor and Citizen members. If you're interested in the project please jump over to the Forum Thread to learn more!

The flying V teeth is a nice touch
The V shape looks great
I need electric therapy in my left shoulder, probably because I'm sleeping on it ... 🛌
@ritag I only know this from these fat burning belts (not that I would need one 😉!) for people who want to train their body without leaving their chair etc. ...😉
When I used to play football (soccer) I had to have electric therapy on my ankle to repair the ligaments
Makes much more sense now
Rigging is such a chore,
At high voltage, an electric chair fries the brain like a scrambled egg. Low voltage for slow cooking — "cough," "cough" "ahem" I mean low voltage for wholesome health, that is, electric therapy.
@ritag You have an electric (therapy) chair 😉😁?
You have a whole in your bucket
