ROPE SIMS
Simmed and hand animated the ropes on the stern and middle of the boat. All ropes were done with proxy geo that was then transferred over to the rendered geo. Other foreground artists include: Quinn Kazamaki, Sean Mulqueen, Konstantin Leontyev, Christophe Desse and Brian Kenny.
FLAG SIMS
Created looping flag sims using nCloth.

Plant rigs and rigid bodies
Worked with multiple foreground artists to rig and implement havok rigid bodies on the plants throughout Madagascar. We set up the rigid bodies so Drake can interact with the plants but never full walk through them and Drake's car can fully run over the plants. Other Foreground Artists include: Quinn Kazamaki, Konstantin Leontyev and Christophe Desse.
cloth Rig and rigid bodies
Remodeled different sizes of cloth from a large pre-existing flag. Rigged and set up Havok rigid bodies for the interactive cloth.
lock door rig
Set up the rig with set driven keys so when Drake opens the door the ropes shrink and boules lower. The rope was scripted so the UVs would scale over time with the rig so the texture did not warp.
Pillow rig
Rigged the pillows. The dog is awesome. :)
