3D Artist Philippe Herin showcased this amazing WIP setup, which served as a practice of recreating a wood-carved style in animation.

The artist shared that the goal was to create a stop-motion-like wood-carved fox character. The animation was made with Blender, with the sculpt crafted in ZBrush. The artist used Rigify and also added a head rig for practice. In the comments to the Reddit post, Philippe Herin explained that for dynamic material changes, he added a bone in the rig with 0.1 influence constraints on each key bone, and in the shader, he used a driver to control texture movement in response to bone movement.
