I was hired to fix two broken character rigs on a tight deadline, involving merging two face rigs by diffrent artists on to a final skeleton. I then had to re-bind the bodies and do weighting adjustments as needed. It was a a great challenge and working with Rooster Teeth went smoothly.

Midnight Studios, Austin- Review and advise on Animation and Physics technology.Amaze Studios Austin- MotionBuilder basic training and pipeline setup for re-targeting data from 3ds Max to Maya. Helped improve import process for animators loading mocap in to Maya. Helped Max artists adjust Maya user interface settings to be more familiar for easier.

On this project I worked remotely for House of Moves/Vicon and was responsible for final deformation rigging for a wide range of character and creature superhero types. All had to be Unreal engine compatible, so we were limited to joint/blendshape final output.Special work beyond core skinning work included wings,mechanical,fake muscle slide rigging.

Animated logo and edited performance capture in Maya to sync up. Required adding personality, weight and contact between the logo, mocap Football Move and ground. The capture file was a pure FK skeleton with no rig, I used the Animation Layers to create a pseudo rig and did the final edit with out using FBIK or Human IK.

Leander, Texas, US

Hired to improve motion capture editing workflow in MotionBuilder. Review edited moves and demonstrate advanced editing techniques for two man edits. I also designed a multi-stage edit process to handle edits for larger move sets allowing for higher quality edits with faster turnaround on final animations with the same number of motion editors.

Create deformations and skinning for high-rez lead female character. The character had several layers of clothing that had to deform with her correctly and large areas of exposed skin that had to stand up to full screen views with exaggerated poses without pinching. Working remotely under tight deadlines I created new methods for deformation and skin.
