Star Wars – The Child’s Cradle Rig by Emilio Serrano

Star Wars Childs Cradle 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, Star Wars Childs Cradle Rig for Maya gives you everything needed to produce outstanding animation work.

Complete the scene: Emilio Serrano has rigged Grogu’s legendary levitating cradle—the Star Wars Child’s Cradle mGear Maya Rig, the essential prop that makes every Mandalorian sequence feel whole.

No iconic duo is complete without its defining prop and the Child’s Cradle is as recognisable as the character it carries. Guillermo Moreno Alfaro’s beautifully detailed 3D sculpt brings every curve, surface, and mechanical element of this legendary hovering pod into Maya with screen-accurate fidelity.

Rigged by Emilio Serrano using mGear, the cradle delivers smooth floating and rotation controls, making it natural to animate the pod’s distinctive hovering drift. It pairs seamlessly with the Mandalorian and Grogu rigs to enable complete multi-character scene staging with consistent visual quality across all three assets.

Whether you’re recreating key Mandalorian moments, building original fan animation, or staging a complete trilogy of Mando, Grogu, and the cradle, this prop rig brings the scene to life in a way that no static asset can match.

What’s included:

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

If you’re looking for the prop that ties your Mandalorian animation together, built to the same production quality as the characters themselves, the Child’s Cradle is the missing piece your scene needs.
