Elephant Rig

As promised here is a video showing the rig. I have also included a small demonstration of the script that I wrote to automate the trunk creation. The technique for the variable FK rig was demonstrated by Jeff Brodsky in this video.
I was only responsible for the elephant rig and deformation. Everything else is done by the guys at Irie studios.

Elephant Ride

I had the pleasure to work with the great guys at Irie studios on the Elephant Ride video. I was hired to create a rig for the elephants. As requested I used Maya Muscle for additional deformations and muscle simulation. I will record a video that showcases the rig and post it in a few days.
The video premiered on Myspace yesterday. 

Video Premiere: D. Prosper, “Elephant Ride” from BRAINFEEDER on Myspace.
