Revised Thesis Idea

My goal is to model and rig two characters and then render out a few short animations to show off the rig. I will create facial expressions using blend shapes and use set driven keys to control them through curves. I would like to use XGen to create hair and Marvelous Designer to create the clothing, though my focus will be on rigging. Ideally, I would like to set everything up so that I can export the characters for use in Unreal.
