Embrace the Power of the Story
You heard about our new characters and alumni had an early sneak peek and dove right in. We received some incredible feedback right out of the gate. Guillermo Molina gave us a big booster of confidence when he said:

“Whoa. It’s like the new rigs are made with love. I’m impressed by how well they work together and they are meant to be pushed a lot. I was about to start a new acting dialogue shot but with [these new character rigs] out, they sort of like inspire you to animate them. Way to go, really good job.”

Thank you, Guillermo. Everyone on the project is so pumped and looking forward to the incredible stories you all create.

Stay Close to the Tribe
Stan, Stella, and Sloan are just the start of several new additions to the character tribe. If you want to be the first to learn of the new releases — be sure to sign up for our character rig updates.
