Modeling
Rigging
This project was a collaboration between the team in Sydney and LA.
I also had the opportunity to model in the first spot (Swing) and rig for the second one (Slinky), which kept things interesting and fun. There were only two characters per spot, this allowed me to spend a bit more time in the topology, rigs and deformation.
RIGGING
For the second spot, I rigged both characters, dad and son.
I worked with the team in Sydney to ensure they had everything they needed to keep the character appeal and clean deformations, especially the faces.
MODELING
I was responsible for modeling the body and face of the mum as well as designing the topology for all the characters.
