Senior Character Rigger

Duties

I was responsible for all facial rigging on the two main Neanderthals, 'Ned' and 'Nelly'.

The rigs were built around displacement maps and blend shapes provided by Jellyfish Pictures. These were applied post-deformation; an underlying 'slidy' system involving both NURBS surfaces and joints provided the requisite level of photorealism when interpolating.
