Less than two weeks after unveiling his terrifying colossal catfish rig, Game Developer and Animator Mamoru Kano has expanded his collection of digital river monsters once again with a captivating new addition: a gigantic, snake-like eel created for Otoshi no Shima, an upcoming exploration game inspired by the folklore of Japan's Tohoku region.
Similar to the previously mentioned catfish rig, the newly created eel rig features smooth movements and stable undulations, with the creature's entire body responding dynamically and realistically to the head's motions. As before, Mamoru utilized Unreal Engine 5's Control Rig, a comprehensive suite of animation tools that allows for rigging and animating models directly within the engine, to bring the beast to life.
