Robbie the Robbing Robot is a personal 3D animation project I developed to showcase my skills in character rigging, modeling, and animation. The short centers around a thief and her robot companion.
I designed, modeled, and rigged the character from scratch in Blender, building a fully functional rig with IK/FK switching and animator-friendly controls. I also textured the character using Substance Painter, applying a custom PBR material workflow to enhance detail and visual appeal.
This project allowed me to explore both the technical and creative sides of 3D character animation, and to experiment with storytelling through motion and timing. It was a great opportunity to push my skills in rigging and animation while having fun with personality and style.
