Tiger

Full body rig built with Arise on the Moonshot tiger, extended with a muscle layer of my own. 139 muscles contract and bulge with the motion and jiggle on impact, and they drive the skin through a sliding deformer I wrote as a C++ Maya plugin — so the skin glides over the anatomy instead of sticking to it.

Komodo Dragon

Full creature rig built with Arise on the Moonshot Komodo dragon. The body setup has a ribbon spine and FK/IK blending along the multi-segment tail; the facial rig covers jaw mechanics, gular membrane inflation and head expression controls — 152 of the rig’s 523 controls live on the face.

Horse

Quadruped rig built with Arise System for Moonshot. I developed the full body setup including anatomically precise leg mechanics, hoof roll system, and a flexible ribbon spine built for dynamic motion. Special attention was given to shoulder and hip deformations to support a wide range of animation.

Bear

Muscle simulation in Ziva. The muscles are simulated over the walk cycle and cached to Alembic, then the skin is wrapped onto them — every fold and shift on the surface comes from the anatomy moving underneath.
