Three Sides Week 3/4


Finding and creating a rigged character

At first, I looked at free-rigged characters online but I didn’t like many of them and most of the ones I liked didn’t have a detailed enough rig, links had gone dead, or just didn’t feel right for my scene. I was also struggling to find two characters that seemed like they belonged in the same world. So I looked at other options of websites where I can make my own characters that create an auto rig. The two websites that appealed to me most were MetaHuman and Character Creator. I managed to get Character Creator on a free month’s trial.

Some of the free rigs I was considering.

MetaHuman

The Kebab Robber
Kebab Shop Worker/Owner

Character Creator

Kebab Shop Worker/Owner
The Kebab Robber

I preferred the model from Character Creator as I could edit them to have more unreal proportions in the eyes, which I think reduced the uncanny valley effect of the Metahuman models.

While finding and creating my characters I was also continuing to model my scene and improving my shot compositions.
