OTIS | RIG & FUR




For this project, I modeled Otis the otter, inspired by the Eurasian otter. I designed the rig with an IK/FK switch and an expression panel to accommodate the animation process. To maximize flexibility, I implemented a spline IK setup for the back and tail.
The fur was created in Houdini, with base-to-tip color variations and density maps hand-painted in Substance 3D Painter.

SAL THE SQUINTZILLA | RIG



I was in charge of Sal's rig - Creating flexible rigs with IK/FK switches for scenes adaptability, limb and neck stretch setups for exaggerated animation, and UI setups using connection editor, nodes, and driven keys for ease of animation.
​
My tasks also included UV unwrapping and texturing Sal in Substance Painter, designing the intro scene with custom type and layout.
