Creature Rigging Improvement In 3dsMax for Feature Film

We have an existing rigged model of a SeaSerpent Creature for a feature film in 3dsMax that needs a rigging and skin weight upgrade. There are several issues:

-The skin weights around the neck and throat, the chest and tentacle shroud.

- Face expression rigging upgrade

-The inside of the mouth where the gumline attaches.

- Proper rigging hierarchy naming.

- It will need a simple muscle system added for the pectoral fins and chest so they affect the abdomen when moving.

- Fixing the rig so the eyes and mouth register properly under all animation circumstances.

- Additional controllers in the two forward pectoral fins, the nostrils, the neck, the belly and the throat to add muscle jiggles.

- The completed creature should be a animator's dream to work with, to provide a realistic organic look.

Please do not apply if you do not have the skill set to improve upon and provide a high quality feature film creature rig.

Read the brief carefully and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Included in the reference files are animation stills highlighting some of the issues described and sample rigging tutorials with the current creature. The full 3dsMax animation file including materials and shaders may be downloaded upon request.

When crafting your bid, please be as realistic as possible about the time of delivery. This project will get pulled if you go significantly over your estimate without good explanation. Even though this is a low budget, we are very responsive and will give you everything we can to make your job as easy as possible. We are using 3dsMax 2014. This is a fun, cool project and your name will be credited to IMDB as soon as your job is complete.
