🎯 NEW SIDE PROJECT! 🎯
Hey folks, Richy here!🔥
Super excited to share a little face animation from my latest personal project!
For this one, I wanted to try something different, something fresh, and a morph felt like the perfect way to bring my idea to life. Since I work a lot with topology, face rigs, and shape-based setups in my job, I thought it’d be cool to bring all that knowledge together into one project.
I had so much fun (and a loot of problem-solving aha) working on this little guy. Whether it was designing a topology that could support both characters or figuring out how to properly set up and optimize a shared face rig, the whole process was both super challenging and incredibly rewarding!
I took my inspiration from some creations I really loved, such as The Bad Guys, Arcane ( mainly for the eyes look ), Nimona or How To Train Your Dragon ( obviously..😅)
I’m always looking to learn new things, so this felt like a great experiment, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! 😄
I handled every aspect of this project, which also gave me the chance to dive deeper into lookdev, animation, and lighting/comp. I also mixed Mani Salguero ‘s awesome NPR shader with my own painted textures to achieve this look, huge shoutout to him for his amazing work!🔥
Hope you like this guy as much as I enjoyed bringing him to life!
Cheers guys!🤘
