Star Wars – Grogu Rig by Emilio Serrano

Grogu Rig for Maya is available on Animworks, the leading marketplace for professional animation resources. Whether you are building your first demo reel or expanding a professional toolkit, Grogu Rig for Maya gives you everything needed to produce outstanding animation work.

He has spoken, and he has been rigged! Presenting the Star Wars Grogu mGear Maya Rig, Emilio Serrano’s lovingly crafted tribute to the galaxy’s most powerful and undeniably adorable creature.

Grogu is pure distilled character: enormous eyes, tiny hands, massive ears, and an expression capable of conveying everything from serene wisdom to soup-powered hunger. Guillermo Moreno Alfaro’s exceptional 3D sculpt and texturing captures every wrinkle, every curve, and every atom of the Child’s irresistible appeal. At 69MB this is a detailed, premium-quality model built to be seen up close.

Emilio’s mGear rig brings Grogu’s uniquely limited but expressive physicality into Maya with precise, intuitive controls. The iconic ear wiggle, a tentative Force Raise, the wide-eyed stare that stole the world’s heart; every subtle movement of this character carries enormous emotional weight, and the rig delivers the control fidelity to capture it.

Grogu is a character acting rig first and foremost. Quiet emotional beats, comedic moments, scene studies in subtle performance… he’s at his best when given space to do very little, very expressively. He pairs beautifully with the Mandalorian and Child’s Cradle rigs for complete scene staging.

What’s included:

• Star Wars Grogu (The Child) mGear Maya rig
• 3D sculpting, modelling and texturing by Guillermo Moreno Alfaro
• Rigging and animation by Emilio Serrano
• Pairs with the Mandalorian and Child’s Cradle rigs

If you’re looking for a character rig where every tiny movement carries enormous emotional weight, Grogu is the most heart-melting addition you’ll make to your animation library.
