Crocodile Man, rigged on Advanced Skeleton 6
The story behind Crocodile Man
A free creature rig that pushes past the standard biped
Mrinal Soni made the Crocodile Man rig free for the animation community, and it is the kind of character that makes a strong reel piece: an instantly recognisable silhouette, an expressive reptilian face, and body proportions that force you to think outside the standard humanoid biped.
The mix of reptilian head, muscular humanoid body and that distinctive tail gives you a creature that already feels alive, without losing an animator-friendly workflow. Combat shots, predator behaviour or stylised character acting: the Crocodile Man rig stands up to all of them.
