Gears of War 3 Rigging Reel

Hey all!

Finally got approved to release some work from Gears of War 3. This is just a small sample of the work done during the production of Gears of War 3. I didn’t show off certain things, like deformation, because you can see all that in the game! I was the lone character TD for the entirety of the project and lots of the work had very little scheduled time, unfortunately. And at this point, most of this is 2 years old.
Anyway, hope ya dig.

Thanks for sharing this Jeremy, you have no idea how inspiring this was to see.
Least to say it seems like you built up a very robust and intuitive pipeline for GoW!
A really good pace and continuity throughout the reel as well.

I had read your GDC stuff but that was cool to get to see it in motion.

Damn. I really need to get on with learning Python I guess…

Great reel! Thanks for showing us all the cool toys you have developed at Epic!

Wow, that was awesome to watch. I was smiling the whole time just thinking that some day I’ll be able to do those things.

Thanks for that Jeremy. Very motivational as well.

Fantastic Work! It’s pretty awesome to be able to see what sort of tools the big studios are using. Thanks for posting this! (And thanks to your bosses for letting you post it!)

Thanks for sharing! : ) As others have said, it’s always interesting (and often, as in this case, helpful) to see how others approach character TD / tech art challenges.

That is excellent stuff, Jeremy.

Great work. Thanks for sharing, inspiring stuff!

Inspiring indeed! Nice work on GoW3!!

Inspiring, thanks for sharing !

Really good work; especially the fact that you were the only rigger! Thanks for sharing :):

wow wow wow that is some really cool UI’S you have and i love the pipeline that you made for the animators.

Amazing!

Awesome stuff, Jeremy. Thanks for the share.

Wow this is amazing, using a base head to skin and model was pure genius! Talk about a time saver!

You are an inspiration!

Wow! This is an absolutely fantastic reel! Brilliant stuff!

Amazing! Congrats, being the one and only Character TD… must have been crazy. All the best dude.

Really amazing work! If you don’t mind sharing could you please tell us how much time did you use for these tools?
