Witch Rig by Emilio Serrano
Witch Rig for Maya is a free Halloween scene package: a witch character rigged by Emilio Serrano on mGear, plus a rigged pumpkin, cauldron and broom so the scene is dressed from the first frame. Oscar Perez Ayala made the model. A full AnimPicker with custom background images covers the character and the props. Made for character acting, Halloween shorts and comedy vignettes.

Latest rig updates
Witch Rig is out
Everything the rig ships with. What you get on day one:
Three rigged props
The pumpkin, cauldron and broomstick are rigged too, so you are not hunting for matching prop assets.
One picker for everything
A full AnimPicker with custom background images for both the character and the props.
mGear guide and post-scripts
The guide and post-scripts ship with the rig.
Prop acting built in
Stir the cauldron, sweep with the broom, react to the pumpkin: interactions that ground a performance.
The story behind the Witch
A witch rig that comes with her whole scene
Oscar Perez Ayala's model gives the Halloween Witch warmth and attitude: a spellcaster with enough personality to make every pose entertaining.
What Emilio Serrano added is the rest of the set. The pumpkin, cauldron and broom are rigged with the same care as the character, with clean controls across all four elements, so bringing a prop into a shot does not mean a technical detour. That makes the Witch a natural fit for prop acting: stirring, sweeping and reacting are the grounded moments that make a performance believable.
