Hello! Here's my fan-art of Urbosa from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It was a project for a short movie called "Daruk vs Urbosa". I handled the modeling and rigging, while Arthur Sabin worked on the surfacing and character grooming. He also created the skirt in Marvelous Designer – definitely check out his work at https://arthur_sabin.artstation.com !
The main rigging challenge was developing an automated skirt deformation system that simulates leg-to-dress collision, allowing animators to focus on character performance instead of manual cloth animation. This project was also my first experience with Rumba software, requiring me to adapt the rig for this specialized animation software.
I'm really happy with the result! A detailed breakdown of the skirt's fake collision system will be in a separate post, and you can also find it in my rigging reel video. Hope you enjoy the character! ;)
