Character Rig and Animation: Paper Bear

This project is the final work of the bachelor’s degree in video game creation. 26 graduating students worked on this project, and each had a particular task. My job was to make all the rigs and animations present in the game. This project lasted about 8 weeks and I had to realize the rigs and the animations of three unique characters and certain objects, like a book.

The bear is a unique NPC made of paper that plays the accordion. After being rescued by Anya, the bear wants to play her music. Sadly his accordion broke, but being an accordion himself, it is able to play his favorite music. The rig and animations of the model were a challenge because the bear had look like it was made of paper. I also had to make a simple Scale Script for the accordion because Unity 3D does not support the stretch of the bones.

The rig and animations of this character were a fun project to make because it is quite unique and some challenges were interesting to do.
