This is by far my personal favorite project!

Not just because its a super classic IP, but also the first adult/cult style animation I’ve ever seen when I was a kid. I had no idea what’s it all about, but amazed by all the craziness and combination of pop culture!

It was my honor to be the lead rigger on this project, and take duty of pipeline optimization.

One of the main challenge with this project was to convert all classic versions of the main crew including the “classic” animations from hand drawn on paper to digital in TBH. To achieve that, we have created custom brushes to mimic hand drawn strokes for different type of character and objects.

Carl was the character that I was mainly in charged, including all his costumes, such as this The Thing version of carl, it’s one of my favorite rigs! And the 3rd rigs that associate The Thing theme.

The original classic hand drawn version(from the 90th) on screen left, vs digital replication in TBH20 on Screen right.

The movie will be coming to digital, 4K Ultra HD, and Blu-ray on November 8, 2022, and comes to HBO Max in 2023!

Until then, here is the trailer!
