Technical Rigging for Animation
PBY-5A Landing Gear
Deforming tires, multiple piston rigs, rotating fairings, deforming brake lines & tires, all working off of a single control parameter.
Based on a real-life aircraft, I’m re-creating a PBY-5A, an amphibious WW2 submarine hunter. I’m working closely with reliable references such as historical books and even a generous local museum.
The Prototype Rig in Modo for the upcoming Garage Door Asset. (Check the bottom of the post for the animation video.)
Aside from working on a new design project, I'm also working with a colleague of mine on an environment/prop pack. The pack will be sold on the Unreal Marketplace and/or Gumroad. Part of this pack will include a Garage Door which will have animations that can be used in the game engine...
