makinggecko3_large_thumb.pngRemember Gecko Animation? Jonathan Lax decided he wanted to give something back to the community and so he’s published a free character rig of their mascotte, Richie the Gecko.

[…] whilst on other projects I made a very short little character animation to introduce my company mascot, ‘Richie the Gecko’.

After receiving a few requests I’ve decided to release the character model .blend file as a download for the Blender Community. It is very simple but might be useful to anyone making a non-human character rig. Here the ‘making-of’ page I’ve just drawn up. This page will also feature soon a short tutorial detailing the use of the rig. In addition to this I’ve included the composite node setup I used for the animation and will also detail that in the tutorial.

I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
