Demo Reel Breakdown:
QUADRUPED RIGGING
Responsible for design, model, rig, animate and texture the fictional creature.
The main challenge is to construct a functional rig for the flying armadillo to roll into a ball with pleasant deformation.
Expression was created to assist the wing spread automation and wing membrane motion.

SKETCH-BASED ANIMATION TOOL
This tool is to assist animator in manipulating rig to achieve line-of-action effectively. Animator can sketch a curve to pose and animate a character intuitively. It is easily integrated into existing rig and non-destructive manner.

PROCEDURAL ANIMATION
Responsible for design, model, rig and texture the mech bug.
Wrote expressions to generate gait for all 6 legs through mech bug’s translation.
Construct a user interface to control the gait attributes and variants color.
