Making of a 3D horse

Making of a 3D horse rigged with Maya Muscle by Saad Chlyeh of Mammoth Studio. Really nice job with the muscle and deformation. However, one note that can be improvised is the muscle jiggle at scapula – humorous region, it’s a bit too jiggly!

TEJO ~ Muscle Simulation

A little while I posted a link about a WIP image of  TEJO rig! Now here it is, the beast is finally alive. Muscle simulation done using Maya Muscle. Animation was done by Manish Shakya, currently graduating from Animation Mentor! Cheers 🙂
