(c) Coktel - VU Games - Adibou and the Energy Thieves
One of the bad guys of the game. There are 4 bosses, one for each energy (water, wood, fire and ore). This one pulls up trees from the forest. He is called Woody.
The rigging was made using bones. The model was skinned with Physique (MAX). Claws are drivable, as is the propeller, the head and even the soulders. The lower jaw can move thanks to morph targets. Note the tub on the small claw which follows accuratly the movements of the limb.
A particles generator allows to release some black smoke (toxic et polluting for sure) from the two small exhaust pipes.
