Nice Running Girl with Katana Rig Created in Blender

CG artist Ryusuke Furuya showcased a neat test rig of a girl running and then swinging a katana. Her dress is an interesting element of the rig as it needs to move smoothly in the animation, and I think the creator adjusted it well. 

The project was set up in Blender mostly using keyframes. If you want to learn how to make the skirt flow, try this tutorial. For toon/anime shading, Furuya recommends Vertex Arcade's video.

Check out the artist's other curious animations on X/Twitter. Perhaps you can learn a thing or two from Furuya or at least find useful resources for 3D work.
