Who's that?!

Short post today. As a Character Animator I'm always looking for new animation rigs to use. To me it's like Christmas, every time I get a open a new rig, I don't know what it is about it. Either way I never feel like I have enough variation in the rigs that I currently have, so I took to modifying one of my favorite Rigs.

So here we have the AnimSchool Free Rig, Malcom. I personally love the way this looks, but I it's hard to find another rig that fits the same style of this particular character, so I took it upon myself to modify this base Malcom Rig to fit my needs.

So here it is! This is the modified Malcom Rig that I made. I took some new geometry for the hair, and scaled some of the controls in order to change the shape of the face. It can be a little tedious to use, seeing that I can't zero out certain values, but it works for what I need him to do....and I'm really happy with it, so isn't that all that matters?

Anyways that's all for today, I hope you're all doing well.
