This is an old project i did entirely form scratch about a year ago. i decided to create new animation with it, and present an overview of the rig and overall workflow.

Modeling: I used traditional modeling, which wasn’t too challenging but it involved lots of repetitive work, for future hard-surface project I’m considering Plasticity or Fusion different approach that allows for more complex designs in less time, altough I anticipate potential challenges with UV mapping and baking.

Texturing: I used Substance Painter, which was a really fun, I may have gone a bit too far with the wear and tear, also the AO on rotating parts doesn’t look great, but overall, I enjoyed it alot.

Rigging: The goal was to create an automated rig with non linear or repetitive movements for shaking and rotating parts. I used expressions instead of nodes since they’re much faster to set up, though having too many expressions did slow down the rig.

Animation: As usual, it didn’t take more than two days, I often find myself tweaking the rig reference while animating to speed up the process.

Lighting and Rendering: I used Marmoset Toolbag.

Would love to hear your thoughts!
