polyKraken is my passion project that is to be all things related to superheroes. Enjoy animations and other artwork, and download character rigs! All models are digitally handcrafted, without any AI, featuring my work and collaborations with incredible artists.


The list of rigs on this page is constantly updated, and also added to. Please read the disclaimer below before buying from here. Your comments, suggestions & questions regarding these are welcome.

All the rigs are created in Autodesk Maya. The material on this page is to be used for non-commercial purposes only. It is intended to be fan-art. The money obtained from the sale of the material is used to learn more techniques of 3D character creation, and subsequently, to create more fan-art.

LEGACY RIGS

This list of rigs has been published at the request of fellow comic-book fans and animators. These rigs were created in older versions of Maya, may not be compatible with real-time software, and will no longer receive updates or further development.


The following Python 3 scripts have been an integral part of my character creation pipeline. I would like to share them with you to help speed up your processes. Please write back with feedback, bug-reports and comments.
