Frog Dragon Rig

Frog Dragon Rig

This rig was a personal project for my portfolio, it was mainly used to test some new techniques, for exmaple: lip zipping, sine wave deformers and a roll/coil for the tail. 

This animation was made by my good friend Arnold de Rauw to showcase the rig in a fun way.  https://www.therookies.co/u/Nolle

Rig Demo

Tail Wave

Here a sine wave is added to the tails' Ribbon to create an automated wave/flapping animation.

Tail Roll/Coil

This roll/coil effect was created using setRange nodes, a driver attribute rotates the joints based on pre defined values for every joint. these values can de edited and animated aswell and are also spilt in Y (side to side) and Z axis (up and down). 

Lip Zip

The Lip zip is created in a similar way to the roll, it also uses setRange nodes but it's a bit more tricky since it's split into left and right zipping. 

I got the model from a very friendly artist, so shoutout to: Yunna minokva: https://www.artstation.com/yunnami
