Otterly Adorable: rigging showcase

3D Model

Here’s a npr-model I did mainly for a telegram stickerpack, but also to practice rigging. It’s a stilized otter using a version of the good old inverted hull shading to get outlines.

Get the Stickerpack on Telegram.

The rig has IK/FK switching, variable IK chain lengths, stretch-IK-switching, FK saling, powerful yet simple spine controls and an eye setup, that I kind of need to improove in the future … if you want to have a crack at the model yourself, consider forking it the model on gitlab.

The materials are mainly built for quick prototyping in blender, it all kind of also works in realtime, but I’d put in a bit more optimisation before adding it to a game.
