Mega Man: Fully Charged

Reel Breakdown:
Picture
As the rigging lead on Mega Man: Fully Charged, I had the great opportunity to take on many responsibilities where I:
  • Rigged hero characters, including Mega Man, Mega Mini, Sgt. Night, and Rush.
  • Developed a new rigging tool for the team that built cartoon eyelids and brows, allowing our rigs to achieve expressive shapes required for our show's animation style
  • Developed the quadruped rig for our team - used by Rush and generic dogs.
  • Wrote scripts for other riggers on the team to help expedite their workflow. These included scripts for building the robot master legs, a motion path rig, uv/material transferring, and post rig scaling, 
  • Attended meetings with the production team and department supervisors to make creative decisions on assets.
  • Met with production coordinators to bid time estimates needed to rig assets
  • Reviewed rigs from other riggers on the team for department approval and provided feedback if adjustments were needed
  • Supported other members on the rigging team when help was needed and mentored new hires on production workflow
  • Frequently collaborated with the modeling and animation departments to discuss what was needed to meet production needs
  • Supported the effects departments in building VFX rigs
  • Collaborated with the rigging supervisor to improve our studio's rigging system
  • Built rigs for sets and props
  • Debugged technical issues with rigs and pipeline errors
The following are a list of characters I rigged for the series.
