Creature Rig for Guardian's Lament 3D Short Film
This rig was first created on an anatomical skeleton I modeled in order to put the joints in the best places, considering her unique anatomy and muscle structure. This also aided in our pipeline, allowing the rig to be started while the model was still in process, as long as it followed the basic anatomy.
This fully custom rig features:
FK to auto-overlap switch for ears, whiskers, and tail leaves with adjustable strength, using an altered, custom script of Maya's Bonus Tools
Adjustable and toggle-able squash and stretch for legs, body, tail, and neck
Knee, Elbow, Ankle, and Wrist pinning
Ik/Fk switches for tail, legs, and front claws
Full facial rig and facial picker done using a both blendshapes and joints for animation ease and sticking to character expression sheet
Created Maya scripts to aid in implementation of auto-overlap creation, fk-control creation, self-group creation, etc.

Unreal First Person Game Demo
Custom model and rig based upon the UE5 Mannequin with weapon capability and custom animations. Implemented into UE5 with a custom character and animation blueprint, featuring:
Equipping and unequipping the cane for both running and attacking
Procedural animation for turning, jumping, and wall collision
Logic surrounding when the user is able to attack based upon equip and run stance
Character Inspiration: Kaz Brekker by Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows
