Beetle Animation

My friend Zach Gillespie animated the rhino beetle for me. It's a good feeling to see your work come to life. 

Robot Arm in ACTION

Hello everyone,

I was asked by one of my peers to rig a mechanical arm for a game environment. The model is by Luis Perez.  This rig was fun because I could just play with connections. I had a lot of fun rigging it. It took about 2 hours and it is completely scalable which you will see and has a pretty intuitive set up. The video was one I sent with the rigged file to show him how to use it. Hope you guys like what you see. 

The Neck Test

So it worked! I was worried about the neck for the character because I had the idea of it being suspended by several springs and reacting to the movement of the head. This is just the test rig but I'm confident it will hold up in the final. 

Some Screen Shots of The Copper Soldier

Hey all,

This is the Copper Soldier. He is spliced between a concept by Mr. Jake Parker and Hellboy's Golden army robots. I am taking a lot of liberties with this one to really make him my own. I've got some fun things planned for this characters rig. I have been modeling with the rig in mind for the last few projects but this guy presents a few new challenges. Although his model is far from finished I will be posting some rig tests to ensure my theories on how he will move are correct. Hope you guys like what you see.
