Rifia Animates

Excited to drop my 2025 Showreel! Featuring rigging work + animation tests that show what these rigs can do. ✨#rigging #animation Big thanks to the artists who helped bring these to life! Models: @trevital237 Animators: @SarpSerter @stanleyy___

He's my brushbuddy #WitchHatAtelier

@LoLUKN My brother's cat Zilean 👊

If you've named your pet after a champion, show us! 🐱

The next #pokemon #gengar X #monsterhunter is live in time for Halloween 👻 thanks to @Rifia_Animates. On #gumroad and #patreon (free) for animation box 🙂 Thanks to @LluisAbadias for the great concept and collaboration 🙏. Happy #animating

Upcoming gengar-inspired concept rig! Stay tuned for the public #gumroad release soon! 👻 #rigging #maya #3dart

@pat_con5 Was really rooting for you this year! 33rd is nothing to scoff at. Wish you luck next season!

33rd at the 2025 World Championships! I’m a bit annoyed by some unlucky sets and bubbling some prizing. However, I am much more happy to have been one of the best amongst the best. I’ll focus on improving my building and risk management. 1/4

Don't you love getting nice pivot points first try #rigging #3dart #maya

@DallienceRNG Woaaaaah! Would love to see more about this!

finished the commission for this OC's flame transformation #b3d

Bringing @Rifia_Animates on proves to be one of the best decisions I've made. #animating her own #rig is such a flex and I'm always surprised at what my models can do with her setups 🙏

This is super WIP and rough but i hope you guys see the vision lolol. I wanted to kinda simulate what curly hair shrinking would look like in 3D. Inspo from @Rifia_Animates sharing some fun clips in our lil discord hehe. #maya #3D #rigging

I haven't animated my own rigs in a hot minute, but I'm very happy with how this turned out! You can get this #Carnage rig too at #Gumroad trevital.gumroad.com/l/llghqw Rig by me Model by @trevital237 #rig #maya #Marvel #animation #3dart

#ben10 #diamondhead so glad to have @Rifia_Animates on the team here. The imagination on her #rigs are absolutely wild. He'll be in our shop early August 💎😎

Relentless! #Carnage just feels threatening and incredibly violent. I love when I see animators let loose. @SarpSerter is setting the bar for indie animation. Honestly this type of animation was my most idealistic hope when I started making characters. Link in bio Happy animating

I love how these Tendril rigs came out for the #Carnage rig. - Being able to adjust the length without ruining the curve has felt very satisfying! Purchase all rigs shown here at trevital.gumroad.com/l/llghqw Model by @trevital237

CARNAGE RIG is out on #gumroad for purchase! trevital.gumroad.com/l/llghqw Worked very hard to make this rig as versatile as possible. Can't wait to see how far animators can take it! 🔥🔥🔥 Model by @trevital237

Oh shoot, look mom, my rig is special now!

Has been really fun working with @trevital237 and @StanleyVFlores to bring this model to life!

@alrgwoodnbadger Very clean. How does it look from other camera angles? So far I've mostly done 2d image sequence effects for that kind of style

Here's some progress on the rig. I was able to get a magic effect working with a couple rampshaders and wave deformers

@chowgood It is law

And the obligatory hip control waggle...

@alzou_y I mainly researched other dragon-like rigs and dissected certain components to learn some of the systems. From there I molded that theory into what I capable of. It's one of my favorite ways to learn new ways of approaching things :)

@Rifia_Animates This looks really cool. Is there an online course or video tutorial you'd recommend to do a complex wing rig like that ?

Ever since I learned how to use Rivets when #rigging this Dragon's wing I fell in love with them. They have so many potential uses!
