Abstract:
Premo is an Academy Award winning animation and rigging application developed by DreamWorks. Premo has previously been presented at SIGGRAPH 2014, DigiPro 2012, and DigiPro 2018 highlighting Premo’s animation features. This talk presents how we approached rigging within Premo, including a brand new data model and support for visual programming.
