Character TD
This project was one of the first ones I did with the team in NY. There were around 8 characters, all sharing the same skeleton. Variations were mostly done with a dynamic proportions module and all the outfits were added in the same skeleton rig and connected to a visibility attribute.
SKELETON RIG
One interesting feature of this rig was the ability to tweak the proportions on the fly and change the outfit to match the character they needed in the shot.
All the proportion attributes were added with a separate module built on top of the auto rig system I developed.
