The Shadow Hunter

This is my biggest animation project yet, including mocap data, lipsynch, animal movement, etc. It was a test of everything I had learned after two years at howest DAE in the animation major. A challenge it was for sure, but I had a lot of fun!

A lot of preparation went into this project

Not wanting to lose any time browsing the internet looking for a specific monster rig, I decided to just make one myself

A closer look at the cat's run cycle

I looked fabulous in a mocap suit! This was my first experience with recording and handling mocap data.

Off course raw motion capture data isn't good enough, so it needed some tweaking
