Rayla Rig by Emilio Serrano

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

Emilio Serrano has brought one of Netflix animation’s sharpest heroines into Maya with the Rayla mGear rig, capturing The Dragon Prince’s agile moonshadow elf with precision and personality.

Rayla is defined by contradictions: a trained assassin but with a conscience; physically exceptional but emotionally vulnerable. Jose Maria Gonzalez Gutierrez’s faithful model captures the character’s distinctive elf design beautifully with Rayla’s four-fingered hands, phantom limb detail, and athletic build of a character who’s always about to leap into action. Every detail communicates who she is.

The rig features a custom AnimPicker covering body, face, and extra elements, an applied lips constrain fix for reliable facial performance, and the mGear framework bundled directly in the package for a more straightforward setup. The four-fingered hands and phantom limb detail create visual interest in every close-up and silhouette.

A strong choice for acrobatic action animation, emotional character acting, and Dragon Prince fan animation. Her design rewards animators working on fast, readable movement as well as those exploring the nuanced facial performance that carries emotional story arcs.

What’s included:

• Rayla – The Dragon Prince mGear Maya rig
• Custom AnimPicker for body, face, and extras
• mGear framework included in package
• 3D model and textures by Jose Maria Gonzalez Gutierrez
• Rigged by Emilio Serrano

If you’re looking for a rig that combines athletic action with genuine emotional depth, Rayla is a standout character in this collection.
