Quadruped Animation- Nico Box Jump

14:43 0 Comments


More work using the Nico rig, this time jumping onto and off a box. I mostly used a tiger as the reference for the movement, but obviously had to make alterations to account for the back legs which are alot longer than a tigers. Hopefully it doesn't come across too much like a tiger as it is supposed to be a alien creature.
At the moment I'm currently in the process of creating a whole new showreel, as the only one online at the moment is my old student one. This will most likely replace the nico reation animation that I did as it was done nearing the end of my degree, resulting in me rushing it and therefore being one of the weakest parts of my old showreel. To be honest most of my old showreel probably won't make the cut, as I do have quite alot of new stuff which will be posted in the near future.


I've posted this before but here's the link to the rig.

Red9 Tools for Maya

07:28 0 Comments



Red9 StudioTools is a free downloadable studio pack used in conjunction with Maya. They are designed to speed up the modern animation pipeline within studios. During my time as student I would have loved to have had access to many of the features within these tools, which is why I am posting this here. I was introduced to this pack while working at Crytek and was lucky enough to work with the creator, Mark Jackson. The tools are very useful and as they are free to download, I recommend them highly. I've posted the download link below, its pretty easy to install, just follow the instructions and you should be fine.

There is also a Red9 blog, so heres the link to that aswell:
