Rigging & Facial Animation

Characters that move, breathe, and express with authenticity.

Our rigging team constructs full skeletal hierarchies, IK/FK rigs, and facial blendshape systems that give animators complete expressive control. We specialise in lip-sync, emotion systems, and motion-capture data cleanup for cinematic and real-time characters.

How We Deliver It
01

Skeleton Design

Joint hierarchy planning based on character anatomy and animation requirements — biped, quadruped, mechanical, or custom creature rigs.

02

Rig Build & Controls

IK/FK limb chains, facial blendshape systems, corrective shapes, and animator-friendly control handles.

03

Motion Capture Processing

Mocap data cleanup, retargeting to your character skeleton, and solving artifacts — or hand-keyed animation from scratch.

04

Delivery & Engine Integration

Rig baked for Unity, Unreal, or renderer. Animation clips exported as FBX or engine-native format with documentation.

What We Deliver
  • Full body skeleton rigging with IK/FK switching
  • Facial blendshape system for emotion and lip-sync
  • Motion capture data processing and retargeting
  • Procedural animation for secondary motion (cloth, hair)
  • Game-ready rigs for Unreal Engine and Unity
  • Hand-keyed character animation for cutscenes
