OSCAR: Free Fully Rigged Character for Blender 3D


I present OSCAR, a free Blender 3D fully rigged character I created the other day.
OSCAR is an acronym for Open Source Character And Rig.

Download OSCAR here http://www.mediafire.com/?dcdkxkmtx1f

The armature used to control OSCAR allows a good range of animation and it's really simple to use.

You can download him from the here http://www.mediafire.com/?dcdkxkmtx1f
My only stipulation is that OSCAR or any derivatives you make based on the character cannot be sold as a standalone package or as part of a model collection.
Apart from that stipulation, you can use OSCAR for all your personnal, learning or even in commercial works.
Of course it'd be nice if you let me know where you've used OSCAR!

The file is compressed with 7Zip (which if you don't have you can download from http://7Zip.org. It's the best compression software, by the way).
The file contains a txt document outlining the license and instructions for the character rig.
If you don't have Blender 3D you can download it from here http://www.blender.org
Blender is a free Open Source animation and modelling suite and it's what I used to create OSCAR.

So, anyway, enjoy the character and rig!

NOTE: this is a newer version of OSCAR, with a number of fixes!

Slimmed down 3D model



Two new images.
The top one shows the better eye's I made for the character.
The bottom image shows the character after being 'slimmed down' a bit. He was much too fat before and animating him was sometimes tricky. The textures are temporary and not correctly UV mapped.

"Evil" Mannequin image


Image from Office Hours of "evil" mannequin character.
"Works in progress" are just that - work's in progress, with lots of tweaking and changing of various different factors such as textures (the head will look more distrorted and damaged in movie)
Also the eye's are wrong and hair is not quite right - but lighting is alright!
Image is about 1/4 size of full renders (Hi Def: 1920X1080)
