Unreal Engine
"A strange creature hailing from a strange planet. Despite their fearsome appearance, they are an herbivorous species that feeds on flower nectar much like a hummingbird. Nevertheless, their warlike culture means they can be quite dangerous, competing with each other and other species for territory and resources. Their smooth skin, hammer-shaped head, and vestigial tails seem to indicate that they emerged from the oceans fairly recently on an evolutionary scale, but with strong legs and four powerful arms, they have more than adapted to life on land."
Hammerhead Alien
June - July 2025
A personal project in which I designed, modeled, rigged, textured, and animated a four-armed hammerhead alien creature. Modeling was done in ZBrush, texturing was done in Substance Painter, and rigging and animating was done in Maya. In the course of rigging this creature, I also used the opportunity to create several customizable auto rigging programs that could be adjusted to the character's unusual shape and rig it more efficiently.
