Alien Rig Bundle
The Alien Rig Bundle for Maya is three free, Alien-inspired creature rigs by Emilio Serrano: the Facehugger, the Alien Egg and the Space Jockey Arms, sculpted and textured by Guillermo Moreno Alfaro. If you want an alien rig or a creature rig in Maya that is not another biped, this set is made for non-humanoid movement, slow reveals and shots that run on tension.

The story behind the bundle
Alien creature rigs that trade acting for timing and restraint
The bundle brings together three creature rigs by Emilio Serrano, inspired by one of science fiction's most influential and unsettling worlds. None of them is a traditional character, and that is the point: they push the work beyond acting beats towards timing, restraint and story-driven movement.
Each asset was set up so posing stays readable and deformation stays stable, which leaves you free to explore weight, intent and shape within a composed shot. It suits animation study and portfolio work on organic mechanics and non-humanoid movement, and it gives you a way to expand your range into darker, more atmospheric material.
