Ghost Armour Rig

Ghost Armour Rig by Emilio Serrano

Ghost Armour Rig for Maya is a free spectral armoured knight, rigged by Emilio Serrano on mGear from Oscar Perez Ayala's model. It carries more pipeline depth than most free rigs: RBF data for smooth deformation in extreme poses, an in-game FBX export file, a full AnimPicker with custom background images, and the mGear guide. Built for supernatural combat, dark fantasy reel work and game animation.

Ghost Armour Rig is out

Everything the rig ships with. What you get on day one:

RBF deformation

Radial Basis Function data keeps the deformation smooth in complex action poses, where combat shots usually break a rig.

In-game FBX export file

Take the animation from Maya into an engine without rebuilding anything.

AnimPicker with custom backgrounds

A full picker with its own background images for the character.

mGear guide

The guide ships with the rig, so you can see how it is put together.

The story behind Ghost Armour

A spectral knight rig with real pipeline depth

Oscar Perez Ayala designed the Ghost Armour to sit between the physical and the ethereal: imposing, hollow-eyed, glowing, and clearly not entirely of this world. That presence makes it instantly readable in supernatural combat and dark fantasy shots.

Emilio Serrano packed pipeline features into the rig from the ground up. The RBF data is the part combat animators will feel: deformation holds up in the extreme poses that fights demand. Put that together with the FBX export and the rig goes from Maya animation to engine implementation without losing anything on the way.

In order to use this or any other mGear rig, you need to install mGear for Maya.
Can you please install it, try again and maybe come back again and re-evaluate the unfair rating?
Cheers.
