SPORE Object Animations

Here are some of the many Rig Block objects that I modeled, rigged and animated for SPORE. The player can build his/her own creature, vehicle, or building by modifying and combining these Rig Blocks. The player could stretch and squash them in XYZ directions by pushing and pulling the handles. These animated models were created using a combination of blendshapes and skeletal rigging/animating. Careful design and planning ensured that the combinations worked successfully together and that they operated in a satisfying and often surprising way.
