Rigging Artist Trystan Bleuven presented a finished version of his amazing rigged setup of John Silver from Treasure Planet.
The rig, crafted with Maya, has IK/FK stretchy limbs and spine, layered clothes, layered, constrained controls, fingers and footrolls attributes, and more features, allowing for creating fluid, highly detailed character animations.
Before, the artist joined us to talk about creating John Silver's rig and shared a comprehensive breakdown, discussing rigging the cybernetic parts of the body to replicate the original character's mechanics and movement.
