Benefits Overview:
MODELING
Modelers can continue to improve geometry and respond to team feedback more efficiently. Everything is flexible and can happen at any time.
RIGGING
TDs will achieve more realistic results that are directly informed by real-world physics. Intuitive tools and controls grant greater artistic freedom from the start.
PRODUCTION
All existing anatomy can be re-shaped for other characters. From Zeke, any number of quadrupeds could be rapidly simulated.

For greater applications, teams could leverage this character platform tools to create a game-ready or posable Zeke for future productions.
