Creature Rigging & Animation

A character rigging study built with an Advanced Skeleton foundation, manual adaptation for nonstandard anatomy, and walk and attack animations used to validate the final rig.

Overview

What I built and why.

I rigged MagiConch7's character model, β€œηŽ„η”²δΌθž£ηœŸε›,” for animation in Maya and Unreal Engine. I used Advanced Skeleton for the humanoid rig foundation, then manually adjusted joint placement, controls, and skin weights for the asymmetrical body and long segmented limb. I used the walk and attack animations to check deformation and adjust the rig.
