The story behind Emma and John
Two stylised rigs from Abyss Animation, built to work together
If you have already seen Emma and John as individual rigs, the bundle is the way to get them, because they are made to share a shot. Theo Murat and the team at Abyss Animation designed the two as a matched pair from the start.
They already feel like characters before you touch a control. The acting and body mechanics options are there, the deformations are appealing, and the facial rigs give you range to push expressions instead of fighting for them. A quiet two-shot dialogue scene or something more physical, the tools to tell the story are in both rigs.
Many animators want to practise two-character work for their reels but cannot find rigs that read well together. This bundle fixes that from the first scene.
