3D Character Rigger (Student project) at University of Northampton (Student project / details not specified)

Rigged 3D characters and 3D sniper rifles. Built the character primarily using a human rig with cloth setup for hair, jacket, and sleeve, completed with a dynamic cloth rig. For the sniper rifle, used Connection Editor and Set Driven Key and added attributes, while weakening/modulating the model to better match a real sniper rifle.

Technical Artist / Rigging & VFX (student project) at University of Northampton / Raffles College of Higher Education (course project)

Created rigging and VFX-driven assets for a dragon and additional shader-animated VFX in Unreal Engine. Dragon project included a squash-and-stretch rig for the entire body, an IK/FK tail using a dynamic tail rig, and a facial rig to enhance expressiveness. Developed shader-animated VFX and implemented both models and shader/VFX in Unreal Engine.

Technical Artist / 3D Rigger (Student Project Work) at University of Northampton (Game Design programme) / Raffles College of Higher Education (projects)

Built multiple rigging and animation VFX/rig systems in Autodesk Maya and Unreal Engine. Developed a robot/rig with human mimicking movement, additional controls (arm blaster, chest/ear/wing/leg shell controls, detachable parts), and a weapon swap mechanism (sword-to-gun). Implemented a rig using Connection Editor and Set Driven Key without adding joints. Created a dragon rig with squash & stretch, stretch rig by dynamic spline IK/FK for the tail, and a facial rig to enhance expressiveness; explored dynamic tail rigging and rigging focused on animation attributes. Also produced shader-animated VFX and implemented both models and VFX creation in Unreal Engine.

3D Rigger | Technical Artist | 3D Modeler at Raffles College of Higher Education (Student project / internship context not specified)

Rigged 3D robot, weapon, and pedestal in Autodesk Maya using a human rig, added additional controls (arm blaster, chest control, ear control, wing controls, leg shell control, and detachable parts), and built the rig with Connection Editor and Set Driven Key without adding joints. Developed a dragon rig featuring squash and stretch body deformations, an IK/FK tail rig with dynamic tail rigging, and a facial rig to enhance expressiveness. Also created shader-animated VFX and implemented both models and downstream VFX in Unreal Engine.

Rigging 3D characters & sniper rifle (student project) at University of Northampton / Raffles College of Higher Education (course project)

Rigged 3D characters and sniper rifle assets. Built the character primarily using a human rig with cloth elements for hair, jacket, and sleeve, completed with a dynamic rig. For the sniper rifle, used Connection Editor and Set Key Driven approaches, added attributes, and tweaked weakening/deformation behavior to make the asset more realistic.
