the tracking was via Blenders' new tracking feature although I had to help the track along a bit with some tweaks in AfterEffects. Here's the model in it's development stages.

Lots of hard work and toil not just modelling the thing but doing the particle system for the spikes
went through many trial and errors still not 100% happy with them but it's a learning exercise. Then Came the Rigging with wasn't easy either. Then the one which was the make or break was the Tracking of the footage and getting the Hedgehog to sit in the scene, colour correct and add and shadow layer which had to be mostly bodged together because it wasn't playing nicely but eventually got it all together, phew!

Thanks tried to make the back legs look as good as possibly could have just gone 100% cartoon
but it wouldn't have looked as nice once rigged.

just thinking about all that work has brought me out in a sweat.
Edit; For noobs, please do not confuse the Dave in question with Truck-driving Cirencester based Dave.

Then all is right with the world.
Oh, and edit on the edit above, Dave != Dave, obviously.
Some say Dave is from Cirencester, but looking at his posting times I think he *is* actually from the other side of the world; vrnetwork.ning.com/profile/Moggy
Except that any time I go back to Blighty now after six years living in the heathen lands of the Continent I nearly get killed on the roads and can't quite adjust to everything being on the left.

READ THE FAQ!!!
Funny posts are supposed to make up for a lack of technical expertise. To create something funny with hard work and superlative skill is frankly not allowed. Now go and stand in the corner and think about what you've done.
