Gigi?
Before she was given a name,
she was scribble.
Do you see a crazy girl
with big mouth too?
Vis Dev
I recognized that the scribbles want to hop on a vespa
Gigi is around
9 years old.
She loves the thrill of riding.
Building 3D Gigi
▲ rig test before entering animation production
With rig test I enjoyed posing her
mouth with small controllers and wave deformer to achieve wavy shapes.
I am also happy with the detail of her mouth pocket,
which is a combination of
- displacement map from Zbrush
- Substance Painter color & Roughness maps
- Arnold subsurface
Tools:
Maya, Zbrush and Substance Painter.

Animation Process
Animatic where I explored timing, poses, and acting
1
Poses here are not refined.
But it was helpful to get a feel of the exaggerated and snappy animation style.
2
Shoot Reference to figure out inbetween, weight shifts, and texture in timing.

Animation Production
▲ pose test
▲ 3rd pass
▲ final
There are small places I wish I had more time to tweak, especially the animation of the riding shot.
But I am happy for how it turned out!
In a hurry?
