Blender Character Rigger & Animator | Game-Ready Rigs, Python Tools
I build clean, animation-ready rigs in Blender that animators and game engines can use straight away: characters, creatures, props and mechanical models. Rigging - Character and creature rigs: IK/FK switching with snapping, foot roll, five-finger hand controls, space switching - Facial rigs: bone and shape-key faces, eye and mouth controls, expressions and lip-sync shapes - Weight painting and deformation fixes, including corrective shapes for clothing and deep bends - Fixing existing rigs that break, flip or deform badly Game and real-time - Game-ready rigs with a clean single-hierarchy skeleton that export to Unreal Engine, Unity (Humanoid) and Mixamo-style pipelines - FBX and GLB exports for game engines and the web, kept within your polygon, texture and file-size limits - Motion capture retargeting and cleanup Animation - Test poses, walk and run cycles, idle and action animations to prove the rig works Blender tools and file work - Python scripts and add-ons that automate repetitive Blender work - Format conversion and mesh cleanup (FBX, GLB, OBJ, STL) - 3D print preparation, including multicolor prints split into separate color parts Need the character modeled too? I can take it from model to a rigged, animated character. Send me your model and what it needs to do, and I'll tell you exactly what I'll deliver and when.
