Naga game animation



Check out this interesting serpentine setup and animation. Cool stuff!

The animator could have animated the upper half of the body hand keyed and the lower half procedurally driven.

One of my student, Mr. Jimmy Gunawan shared this video to me. He stated "Often if character have costume or accessories or other props, the rig gets more interesting." which is true =)
