Bird rigMy main task for this project involved rigging. The birds are the main characters and are always on the screen, so the quality had to be top-notch. I wanted to give the animator a high level of control with a minimum amount of controls.
Especially a lot of time and effort has been put into the wings. All the feathers have 2 bones to allow for fanning out and bending up and down. there are 5 controls at the tip and 5 controls halfway through the wings for controlling the shape. However, in a seperate layer there are also individual controls for every feather in case the animator needs to fine tune something. All the bones for the feathers are bound to a spline IK that has a hair modifier so we can simulate drag and wind on top of the created animation. |

World BuildingFor this project I was also in charge of all the worldbuilding and the exporting. I was the primary point of communication between the Art and Tech departments. Whenever something didn't work I would sit down with a programmer and fix it.
