Rigging
Flying Whale Rigs
I created two simple rigs for a whale like creature design of mine. The creature is whale like in structure, but with the ability to fly. Its fins are designed to open when it breaches out of the water acting as makeshift wings. So I created two rigs, one of it in swimming form, and another in flying form. Everything was molded and rigged inside of Maya.
I created a simple rig of a creature design of mine called Beta. The Beta has two mouths, the primary one that acts as its head and a hidden mouth under its chin. Its back legs are designed to stay tightly bent until the Beta starts running. The back leg acts like a spring when it runs, but remains chambered when it walks.
The rig was easy to create and allows for easy posing of the model.
