Hornet – Silksong Rig by Emilio Serrano

Hornet Silksong 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, Hornet Silksong Rig for Maya gives you everything needed to produce outstanding animation work.

Emilio Serrano has pushed Hollow Knight’s needle-wielding heroine straight into Maya, and the result is a precision-engineered action rig: the Hornet – Silksong mGear 5 Maya Rig.

Hornet is defined by economy and lethality. Her tight silhouette, fluid limb structure, and needle make her one of indie gaming’s most distinctive designs. Igor Oskolskiy’s faithful model, complete with an included cage scene file, captures every angular detail and puts it in your hands, ready to pose and perform.

Built and tested in Maya 2024 with mGear 5, the rig ships with a full guide, Python and MEL post-scripts for rebuilding from scratch, and clean controls that keep complex action sequences readable at every frame. The cage scene gives you a ready-made environment for immediate storytelling without hunting for props.

Hornet rewards animators who think fast and pose boldly. Fast combos, aerial strikes, wall-running, precise footwork: her compact proportions make every pose land with graphical clarity, and the tight silhouette is tailor-made for stylised action reels targeting game studios or indie animation.

• Cage scene file for immediate scene staging
• mGear 5 guide, Python and MEL post-scripts
