Fictive (Falmouth LaunchPad)

• Character Rigger

  • Jan 2018 - May 2018

  Freelance rigging for a small digital startup working on an upcoming interactive drama experience game based on a popular IP. My responsibilities involved designing and building a biped master rig, as well as setting up and skinning multiple characters. I also collaborated with modellers to get good topology for smooth deformations. Challenges included designing a rig that could easily be rescaled to fit different characters, working within the limited toolset of Maya LT and capable of exporting into Unity. Show less

• Work Experience

  • Jul 2014 - Jul 2014

  Work Experience as part of college Work Experience program. At Spider-Eye I essentially got to spend a week animating. I split the week evenly between hand-drawn 2D animation with a lightbox and 3D animation using Lightwave 3D. The experience provided me with a great deal of early insight into the industry and solidified my desire to study animation at degree level. I also washed and dried dishes after lunch break and in the afternoon, which taught me the value of those handled sponges that dispense washing up liquid for you! Show less
