Rigging Services

Developed in response to client demand, Image Metrics’ rigging services utilize many of our proprietary technologies as well as the expertise of our in-house rigging specialists to speed facial rig creation and improve the core facial structures essential for producing highly emotive facial animation.

Image Metrics can produce any type of rig, whether it is a bone rig, blend rig, or hybrid bone and blend rig. The rigs include support for animated normal maps, deformation maps and blood maps, if needed. Image Metrics’ facial rigging specialists will work closely with you to ensure rigs are optimized for motion on each facial animation project.

The facial rigging services include:

•    Rig Analysis: We will analyze your facial rigs and advise you on any adjustments needed to help achieve the optimal facial performance level for your CG character.

•    Rig Optimization: We will work with your rigs and rig controls to optimize them for performance while taking into account any technological constraints you may have.

•    Rig Building: If needed, our rigging specialists will use our proven process to quickly build a flexible rig and its control system from scratch.

•    Rig Transfer: Using our proprietary rig transfer tools, we can speed up or fully automate the transfer of one rig to as many characters as you need.
