I started by building the Raptor Template with Zoo Tools’ modular rigging system, then wrote a set of small Python scripts to build an attribute-driven spike setup.
➡️Hundreds of spikes the animator can bend, straighten, and offset using a range of attributes.
On top of the jiggle controls, I layered the Spike FK controls, so anim-tools like Ragdoll can be used additionally.
Creating a Car Rig became a fun extra task after Marina pitched her shot idea—it definitely didn’t leave me cold.
