The story behind the Stormtrooper
A Stormtrooper rig for Maya, five versions in
For the Empire. Always. Emilio Serrano's Stormtrooper has been through five versions and keeps getting sharper, and the Advanced Skeleton setup covers what you would expect from a battle-ready soldier.
Whether you are blocking a patrol sequence, a firefight or a slow-motion dramatic fall, the rig has the precision to carry it. With the FBX added in v5, the same soldier now works for both animation and game pipelines.
