Stop Losing 12 Weeks on Animation Rigging

Rigging is often the quiet bottleneck of game development. A poorly constructed rig not only slows down your animation team but creates a massive technical debt when transitioning to engine. Complex weighting errors, gimbal lock, and inefficient bone hierarchies can entirely stall production.

We specialize in rapid, highly technical skeletal mesh rigging. Our approach focuses on building modular, scalable rigs that are engine-ready from day one. We ensure perfect root bone alignment, streamlined hierarchies, and proper twist bone implementations to preserve volume during extreme deformations.

Motion capture cleanup is a critical part of our pipeline. Raw mocap data is inherently noisy, plagued by foot sliding, jittering, and structural popping. We utilize advanced filtering algorithms and manual IK solving in Maya and MotionBuilder to smooth the data while preserving the actor's original cadence and emotional weight.

Our IK/FK switching systems are built explicitly for gameplay mechanics. We design rigs that natively support Unreal Engine's Control Rig and Unity's Animation Rigging packages, allowing your technical animators to build procedural recoil, foot placement, and procedural aiming directly in-engine.

For facial animation, we implement highly detailed FACS-based blendshape setups (Facial Action Coding System). This allows for nuanced emotional ranges and seamless integration with audio-driven lip-sync software or iPhone ARKit facial capture data, delivering AAA-quality cinematic performances.

Physics and cloth simulation require extremely specific collision volume setups on the rig. We author custom proxy collision meshes attached to the skeleton to drive accurate, real-time cloth and hair dynamics in Unreal Engine’s Chaos physics solver, preventing clipping and maintaining stable collision at high framerates.

By outsourcing your rigging and mocap cleanup, your animators can focus on performance rather than fighting bad data. We deliver clean, robust, and mathematically sound rigs that immediately drop into your project pipeline.
