Adam, an action-hero rig for Maya
The story behind Adam
An action hero who feels alive before you touch a control
Adam is the kind of character that lends itself to combat sequences, fight tests and the punchy gameplay moments where every pose has to read clearly from any angle.
Manuel Alonso built the character and Oğuz Emir rigged him with a clear focus on animator usability. The hierarchy is clean, the control layout is consistent, and he feels snappy and reliable whether you are on a quick body mechanics test or grinding through a longer combat sequence. If you have ever opened a rig that fights you on every pose, you will notice the difference.
Think of Adam as your go-to action and body mechanics rig rather than a feature-film facial performance setup.
