This is fantastic! As a student intending to focus on rigging and Technical Direction myself, this thing's gonna be invaluable. I really appreciate the demonstration, as well as the opportunity to work with and investigate a professional quality rig.
Thank you very much Sony!
I'm sorry but I cant find any Nurbs to control facial expressions (regarding the mouth and eyes). Are they not included?
AMAZING!!!!ALREADY WORKING ON SOMETHING WITH THIS AMAZING GIFT!!!
This is brilliant! Thanks for releasing this to the public.
This is great! is anybody else's rig having problems? The jacket isn't showing up in the render view and also when I turn on the other jackets in the outliner they don't follow the model in Maya 2014
Not many studios are so open, showing that kind of in depth information. Thanks for that.
Brilliant. Thanks for this. Looking forward to playing around with it.
You need to know that you guy's are helping alot of people practice a skill we (well I at least) want.
I'll pay you everything I have to get those popeye and olive oil ones!
When I render the scene his red jacket disappears, anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for such a great resource!
Same problem as MotherRat, red jacket vanishes when rendering with mental ray. I assume its just a one button fix but not sure what to hit?
Sony you ROCKS!!!!
Plz next Angry Birds movie animation test or storyboard ect
Fantasy!!

Thanks a lot!
I love you guys, take me in as an intern! I don't have a demo reel though, but i watch cloudy with a chance of meatballs every time I animate for inspiration. Such fun.
But since I don't have a reliable rig to use as an animator is it legal for me to use this for random zombie things and put it on my reel if i ever decide to?
What's the deadline for submission?
I am a senior at Syracuse University. I am downloading this immediately & will submit my animation! I can't wait to work for Sony!
Yay!!!
But when is the deadline to upload it?
Awesome!
I might be too greddy to say it but would have been nice to ge the Mavis model too but either way this is great too 😀
I have a problem where whenever I move the feet the buttons on the socks don't follow the other geometry…any advice or help?
I've got a problem. I downloaded it and whenever I try to render it, the jacket keeps dissapearing. Can somebody help me.
You should see the quick animation I did of the zombie on my channel.
Thanks ! 🙂
Awesome! thanks
Im unable to find the master scale. In my scene, this rig is huge, and i want to scale it down. Help me asap.
the biggest thanks I've ever said !! it's so useful to practice when you are student !! thanks a lot !!!
I can't move the arms though :/ anyone?
correct me if im wrong but to me at least it seems that this is a simplified version of the rig used in the film, or perhaps a immature version. i cant see this catering for every shot that was represented in the film.
Thats just going by the features presented in this clip, im yet to play with it myself 😉 but i really so love the extra pivot for the cog 🙂 neat stuff
thanks for making this available, i'm interested in how its put together.
If you guys do read this though, may i ask if this was built by hand or procedurally?
wavvvv my dream job is to be an animator and im learning. im using blender for now. Mabey at the fecture i can could join you guys.. i mean it will happned if onley i have the skill for that..
Whenever i drag down on controllers after i set position.. it selects ik and joints.. its really irritating to select all controlars and set them individually!! How to fix this prob .. any one help me..
I dowloaded this rig but I've encountered some big problems…The IK/FK switch doesn't work for the head and the rig isn't at the right scale… I need to do a short animation for my school with another character but this rig is a hundred times too tall and there's no way I can scale it down… I'm very sad…
This character doesn't have a facial rig right?
I'm having scaling problem!
can u fix the rig plz
WOW
Hi
