Stegosaurus Model and Rig
This stegosaurus was a quick project I threw together so that I would have a model to use for developing new rigging features. My goal was to stress-test my curve rigging nodes in Mantis, and to challenge myself with the requirement of keeping the bony plates rigid while the body deforms. Here is a turnaround…

Procedural Shell Generator
This is a procedural shell generator I made recently. I was inspired by one of those videos of snails eating cucumbers, and I was gonna make a 3D sculpt of a snail and ended up being so interested in the way the shells look that i never got around to it. Both the geometry and…

Maya Humanoid Autorig
This is the autorig I am currently working on in Maya. It is the basis for the rig in my FIEA capstone project, Everent. I began work on this in order to develop an intuition for how to design a large, scalable, and efficient Maya library that is suitable for use with my Mantis software.…

Monarch Butterfly
This was a one-week project. I made the character in 3DCoat, did the retopology in Blender, and made the texture for the eyes in Substance Designer. The milkweed plant was modeled in Blender, textures created in Krita from public-domain photographs. The milkweed plants were modeled with some plant-creation tools I made with Geometry Nodes. Finally,…

Mantis Rigging Nodes
Mantis Rigging Nodes is a revolutionary new way to build rigs. It is a node-based, declarative rigging system that allows the user to build reusable rigging components and compose them into a full rig. Click the video below to view the Mantis Rigging Nodes reel and see the work of many Mantis users. Below is…

Blender Facial Rig for Grow Goodness
This is a Python script I developed while working for Grow Goodness. It’s a geometry-agnostic auto-rigging solution for mouth and eyes of any kind. The rigger only has to make a few “guide meshes” and the script builds everything from there. It’s a bone-based rig, there are no shapekeys. The rig is designed to match…
