Creature rigging system analysis

Project detail

The purpose of the project : R&D to create realistic creature rigging asset by using my own rigging framework.

Animation supervisor : Chalermpol Wattanawongtrakool , His background has experience working on

'The Lion king feature film'(2019)

I have been developing this rigging system since 2016 and there are a lot of thing to improve. Fortunately that I have been surrounding with talented animator,modeler and senior rigger who always give feedback which help me improving on individual areas such as an animated character / creature for VFX which required a different detail and framework.I still need to learn and expand my experiences for riggingTD/CFX. I’m really happy to show my progress and I’m will be pleased if you drop your thoughts and any feedback, feel free to

let me know.
