Rigging

The Last of Us Part 1 | Lead Character Technical Director

I worked closely with Naughty Dog and lead a team of 6 riggers. I trained everyone on the team, created and supported facial and body rigs, skinning, and cloth simulations. I also developed and maintained pipeline tools to expedite our workflow. I also worked closely with production to setup time estimates and scheduling.

During production, I create rigs and adjust rigs on the many characters you see in the film. I worked on body rigs, facial rigs, prop rigs, and create pipelines tools to expedite the process. With each character we faced unique challenges.

For this film, I mainly rigged all of the props. I worked on improving and adjusting character rigs during production if there were errors or glitches throughout production. I established a method to utilize Xgen for Santa's beard that allowed us to rig it with joints.
