C.H.I.P. Character Model and Animations
C.H.I.P. is a quirky and inquisitive character for a VR project created for VR Studio. C.H.I.P. was heavily inspired by robots such as Short Circuit and WALL-E.
For this project I was responsible for the character model and rig in 3DSMax, hand animation for C.H.I.P. in Motionbuilder, and the front end development and animation interactions in Unity.

It was fun to take a break from rigged characters and work on a hard surface character for this project with rigid ball and hinge joints.
