The story behind Kid Buu

A Dragon Ball villain rig for elastic body animation

Pure instinct, pure chaos. Kid Buu is the most unhinged villain in Dragon Ball Z, a character defined entirely by his wild, elastic physique, and Emilio Serrano's rig leans into that completely.

The Advanced Skeleton setup is built for exaggeration across the whole body. The v2 update came from animating with it: biceps controls so the arms squash and stretch properly, and hide on playback so the viewport stays clean when you scrub through a fast shot.

Viewport 2.0 shaders keep him looking like Kid Buu while you work. The face is not rigged, so plan your shots around the body and the silhouette.
