I love the possums around our apartment, but I do not love how much they shit on our walkway

Check out the Mixtape behind-the-scenes over on 80 Level! It shows some of the rigs in action, including the iconic tongues that took me all of 2 minutes to skin up

Freelancing has had the unintended outcome of making me enjoy meetings. It's one of the few times I actually get to see and talk to the people I'm working with

Hey, I'm Rico. Been working as a Rigging Artist in Maya on and off for about 15 years. If you need a rig built or fixed, whether its a character, vehicle, or prop, I'm free to do some work. I wish I had more recent work to show, but all of it has been minor or stuck the NDA void

Alt VFX have shared their breakdown for 2degrees' "Turning Blue". You can see the chameleon I rigged in action, plus all the other technical work that went into bringing the cute little blue guy to life

Can confirm. This is a very standard issue that comes up in things like film digi-doubles all the time (And never stops being funny). Always test your skin weights against animation folks...

tfw poorly-tested crotch skinning becomes a catastrophic PR situation lmao

Q'onzu, the next pet in Hearthstone, is coming at the end of July! With a bunch of feathers and folding wings, their rig was a nice little technical challenge

After updating to my new rig codebase and working back-to-back on projects for a few months, I can finally return to my true passion: Tweaking rig control shapes for ease of selection and affordance

Happy Father’s Day! Even to a certain cop dad who’s a total bummer.

Blizzard have released a little behind-the-scenes look at the making of C'thun, the latest pet in Hearthstone. Check out the animation and the stretchy rig in action, along with the 2D art that served as the starting point for the character

Hearthstone@hearthstone.blizzard.com · 2mo ago

👁️ 🙌 C’Thun is back! But this time he is fun-sized! Learn all about his backstory and how he came to be in this video!

The squishy, adorable and totally evil C'thun is now available in Hearthstone! They are the seventh pet in the game, continuing my rigging work for Superseed Studios in collaboration with the team at Blizzard.

C'thun is coming to Hearthstone next week! I know I probably say the same thing with each pet release, but the animators really took this one to the next level. You've got to see this squishy guy in action

Woo hey look that's me!

I've started buying cheap CDs off eBay in efforts to strengthen my collection of physical media. It also gives me the benefit of ripping high quality FLAC files for my DAP. This was my first little haul

Seven years ago, Jorge R. Gutierrez post this about a movie made by an entire team of artists and animators because he didn't like the visual style. Now you may call it petty to remember something from so long ago, but now I get to post this...

He seems to have bought in(or more likely been bought) pretty hard

Today I found out about the genre of music "Slurmcore", and my world is forever changed for the better

Apparently I got a credit on We Bury The Dead, the new Daisy Ridley zombie movie. I worked on it for literally one day, rigging a zombie arm stump. I'm so used to the industry being awful with crediting that getting one for a day's work seems wild to me, when it absolutely should be the norm

Mixtape is 100% hand keyed animation created by myself and my small team of animators (4 including me). I'm VERY proud of what we were able to accomplish.

Got sick the day I was supposed to get vaccines to help stop me from getting sick. Bloody typical...
