Tião is a character that i’m so happy to share here! He was previously a mascot idea for the animation school I study at, made by the artist Gabriela Cunha. This year, I began to model Tião and I have recently finished after a lot of work with sculpting, modeling, texturing, RIGGING (that took long! around 80 hours).
It’s interesting to share here that this character was rigged using Cloudrig, which is an alternative to Rigify that I found very powerful and personally superior. With Cloudrig I was able to set up many custom properties that can be accessed on the viewport, which is a feature that misses on Rigify.
Soon, Tião will be published for the students of the animation school, so anyone can animate it.
I sure learned a lot working on this character, this new knowledge will sure help me for the next ones.
Please check the project on Artstation too and previous works.
Thank you!
