LogInSenior 3D Rigging Artist Farid M. Panah shared a glimpse at the behind-the-scenes of the film creation.
Senior 3D Rigging Artist Farid M. Panah unveiled this demo showing the creation of a detailed rig of a bird's wings, created for the Indian feature film Aghathiyaa.
The film was created in collaboration with Alzahra Studio, which works in VFX and animation. The artist created the rigs, including the angel-style wings rig. Farid M. Panah masterfully animated the huge wings, creating a highly detailed Maya rig that allows for depicting subtle vibrations and full-flight animations. The artist shared that due to built-in automation, most animations can be done with just a few key controllers despite having many controls.
The wings rig features automated wing movement for natural poses, modular controls for fine-tuning adjustments, and allows for realistic feather dynamics for added detail. It can be seamlessly integrated with character body motion and is suitable for use in heavy scenes due to optimization.
The movie featuring the wing animation, Aghathiyaa, follows the story of several entrepreneurs exploring the dark history of a mansion while attempting to transform it into a haunted house for profit. The Alzahra Studio recently shared a VFX breakdown:
