Wander

“My name is Althea Wheaton. I come from a small town in West Virginia. I was one of the riggers as well as a sim artist for Wander. As Wander was one of the first productions I had a major role in, I learned a lot working closely with my crew and getting quick feedback going back and forth working on the rigs. The Mamma duck rig especially presented unique challenges that pushed me to find creative solutions and become a better rigger. Additionally, managing the cloth simulation pipeline allowed me to practice my newly acquired scripting skills and create a cloth sim GUI that handled project management as well as asset creation. This was incredibly helpful in speeding up the cloth sim process. Though we had many artists working on it, we didn’t have much time.”
