In a collaboration with students from Future Games, we created a Sci-fi racing game based in the universe of "Imperiets Arvingar". You play as a bird like character of the species Vrock, and the race takes place on their home planet Rikva. The Character is called Farei and it was my job to give her life, by making her a custom Rig to be used with Mocap and Animation.
We used Motion Capture as a base to then add layers of traditional animation ontop of. For example the wings, which had to be animated mostly by hand.
The bigges hurdle for me was to rig the wings. I struggled to figure out a good method and itterated many times. If I were to do it again I would probably go with a very different approatch, but I'm happy and proud that I managed to get through with it.
Overall this was a great experience! I got to work with new fantastic people who taught me alot. This was my first proper game creation and I'm very proud of what we managed to produce in only 6 weeks. Hope you like it! :)
