I have worked in this film as a Rigger. The main changeling part of rigging the characters in this film was to maintain the bulky shape of the characters(specially the fat one) which I took care of . This was doe with help of muscles paint.





Technique :- A nurbs model was created for the torso and the hip portion and was skinned with the joint structure. Then this nurbs was treated as a muscle and was skinned with the main body.
This helped me to maintain the shape of the stomach and the hips while bending all over till maximum angles. Blend shapes were also used over muscles shaped nubs to give an extra bulge.


I also wrote scripts for automation of the rigs of props and cloths which required long time repetitively rigging, which helped us to save time.

Gladiator of Rome

Gladiators of roam is a Animation, Adventure, Comedy film.
My role in this film was Rigging characters and the props.
The deformation of the characters were taken care by adding extra joint setups for the pectoral part and the scapula. The cloths were also challenging which were deformed by the help of extra joints setups, blend shapes and joints with dynamic setups on them.
