Baby Rig

We're excited to share our latest project in collaboration with VITUNLEIJA® for the recent BLOCKFEST event that took place in Tampere.

Our fully rigged baby character, driven by iPhone facial capture data, made its debut on stage and truly captivated the audience. While our primary focus for this project was facial animation, we’ve also prepared a body rig to expand its capabilities further.
This custom baby face was meticulously sculpted in ZBrush, refined in Maya, and underwent a complete overhaul of blendshapes to meet our client's precise needs. The result is a highly expressive and unique character, designed to convey genuine emotions.

One of the key challenges we faced was finding suitable references for a baby character that needed to express realistic emotions without appearing overly mature. Tackling this challenge has brought a wealth of new experiences to our team.

The current model is powered by a custom #metahuman rig in #unrealengine, ensuring top-tier performance and realism.
