Critters in Motion

Aug. 4th, 2025
Production Log preview

This week Critter's rig was being tested rigorously by Hjalti and Pablico, prompting for some more model updates for more appeal done by Julien. More background creatures are being sculpted by Vivien as well as giving the animators feedback with posing paint-overs.

I wrapped up the model for One and handed it over to rigging & shading. But there was also an intervention on the eyes design of Critter, which needed some last minute model changes.

Some progress on bg creatures, some progress on the biggest painting in the universe of One, some Critter paintovers and drawovers, some space plant designs! Actually more happened this week than I thought :)

More critter rigging, or in this case mostly re-rigging, and so much left to do.
