Prensesin Uykusu” Break Down Video. It was exiting and tiring 5 months. We have created 10 minutes cg shots with nice team of 15 people. First two months of the movie I rigged nearly forty characters. Most Of the characters were basic biPeds that I could manage to finalize rigging with full coded pipeline. (Used Rigator 1.5) . Than worked on tentacle dynamics and Fluid simulation.

Octopus sequence from Movie”Prensesin Uykusu”. I made character Rigging and Tentacle Dynamics. Rıg consist of manual , dynamic and semi dynamic controls. If i got the time want to post rigging demo here.

Masal Kuşu Sahnesi sequence from Movie”Prensesin Uykusu”.Ijust made base rigging for this character not feather system .

Death-Sequence from Movie”Prensesin Uykusu”. The hardest one for me, but I’m pretty happy with the result . For these shots I made the rigging, tentacle Dynamics cloth and fluid simulation.

Don’t Go

A short Movie of Turgut Akaçık which I made the character Rig.

Movie has won Annecy 2010 Animation Film Festival Special Distinction Award and Junior Jury Award for a short film winner.

These characters are the most fun characters i have ever worked with. It was super fun project with super team. Also I found opportunity to make some animation.

İstanbul Monsters, main character Rigs. Rigs are based on sculp deformers and latices. Dynamics are based on hair,Particle and Ncloth Dynamics.

global,NonLineer deformation

The setUp has prepared for one canceled project. Facial Rigging mainly latice and wire deformer based.

Particle Instancing crowd simulation

RIGATOR_1.3 biped rigging automation

Rigator is highly customizable “Bi-ped rig creation script” which has been used in many projects at Anima/Istanbul. The concept of rig is based on Jason Schleifer’ animator friendly bipedal rig with some additions and some extractions; according to tight deadlined advertisement projects and animators requests. I have started to create this tool one year before and still continue to develop it. In this paper I will try to explain rigator rig features and usage for animators. When i could find some time i will tidy all the codes and publish.
