Max van der Plas - 2023 Character Creature Animation and Rig collection

Stormgiant

The final renders were presented in UE5, and model, textures and lighting were done by a close friend of mine and talented character artist:
Ruben Smit
Huge thanks to Ruben for the fun collaboration on this project and the end result!

I created the Rig and animations using Maya. 

Jiaolong

Jiaolong is the boss in our student game. I created the Rig and the animations shown in the video's. 

I used various techniques to create the final rig for this character such as, Ribbon spine set ups, Smooth IK/FK switches and deformers to automate wave movement.
