I didn't work on just one skin... not two... nope, not three... but fucking FOUR SKINS FOR SEASON 3! I WORKED MY ASS OFF TO GET THEM ALL READY FOR THE NEW UPDATE.
It was extremely stressful and a lot of R&D but god, I am so fucking proud of myself that I actually did it.
Here is a screenshot of all the characters I rigged and cloth simmed for the past two years for Rogue Company.
The total is exactly 50 skins. All in this image.
BEHIND THE SCENE RIGGING WITH SEEKER 1/3:
Part 1: The Rig
Every character starts with a rig, but most of my time is spent skin weighting. The difficult part about this character is accomodate with the several layers of mesh to look and feel good in every flexible pose.
Here is my Rogue Company Rigging Demo Reel! After two and half years at HiRez Studios, I thought it would be best to share everything I've done in a short reel. Enjoy! :D
(Also happy to receive feedback because video editing is hard and I just wanna riiiiiiiiiig)
I hope you all enjoy The Neochrome Update in Rogue Company! First time being responsible for all the skins in the battle pass so I hope you enjoy them <3
Two years ago today, I ended my internship at HiRez and became a full-time employee. It completely changed my life and will forever be grateful for the friends I made and memories I created. But today...
I turn 24. Happy to have lived another year with you all. Thank you, RoCo.
Any opinions or hate you have on Rogue Company shouldn't be taken on me or to any of the developers. I simply work on the game, and I'm also human so it does take a toll on me and to others.
All I do is make skins.
BEHIND THE SCENE RIGGING WITH SEEKER 2/3:
Part 2: The Bow Rig
My first custom rig!! The rig had to be easy but also intuitive for the animator. You see all those controls? That's a lot to hand animate! Which is why I created a single controller that drives the entire- 1/2

I hope you guys are enjoying season 2 of Rogue Company! I was responsible for the cloth sim and the many rigging aspects for Gl1tch Urban Explorer :D
I believe this is my 8th skin/rogue I worked on? I am losing count!!
Why did you became a rigger?
For me, I originally wanted to be an animator. But during junior classes I learned I wasn't very good creatively and artistically and I struggled to keep up with my peers. Until I learned about rigging and I realized I enjoy working tech art

Me: "...Yes, I'm an animator."
Hi everyone! My name is Antonio and I'm approaching my 2nd year anniversary at HiRez Studios as an Associate Technical Animator. My hair is puffy and curly so no one can tell if I woke up recently
#WhatAGameDevLooksLike
Can't get over the fact that I worked on LITERALLY FUCKING RAMBO ON A VIDEO GAME
R A M B O
I GREW UP WATCHING RAMBO AS A KID AND NOW LOOK AT ME, I WORKED ON HIS SKIN IN A MOTHER FUCKING GAME.
WHAT IS LIIIFFFEEEE
I hate when people say "StOp FoCuSiNg On SkInS aNd FiX tHe GaMe" when the people that makes the skins and work on the gameplay sides are different departments.
One team works on skins while the other work on the game. What do you want me to do? Add more skins????
Thanks for coming to my stream! Here's the result of learning chaos physics of today! Its so much fun and excited to keep experimenting on it
Though I had no idea what I was doing lmaaaaooo
I just woke up to learn that because of my girlfriend's environment piece, she was just contacted by Ubisoft for a job position as a 3D Artist.
HOOOOOOOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!!!!
Cried a lot during the production of this character. She was my toughest character yet and seeing her finally announced filled my heart with such a relief. My team guided me heavily through this and helped me out when I was struggling. Forever thankful being a part of Rogue.
Saved the best one for last!
Lone Wolf Talon! This is the first Rogue to ever have long hair and it was the most challenging skin ever Typically having overlapping simulation is a recipe for disaster, but thankfully, we made it possible!
BUT GOD, HE'S SO COOOOOOL!! LOOK AT HIM!
In January, many Rogue Company team members got laid off, and at first, I thought that would be the end of the layoffs, but seeing even more HiRez getting layed off today was soul crushing.
Please retweet to those affected and help them find a new place to land on their feet.
Right, the MAGA people can fight and retaliate against authority, break into the capital without getting hurt at all.
Now, what would happdn if black folks did the same thing? Right, you'd kill them on the spot.

My Ubisoft post was crazy and I never thought it would go viral like that. I always thought that my progress and personal struggles made me feel so isolated from everyone but its the opposite. Thank you for your love and thank you for making me feel not alone.
You know its good when I JUST joined the team, tried the beta out for the first time knowing NOTHING about the game and fell IN LOVE with this game in an instant and unlocked the gold camo for the ACR
This game is FUCKING RAD
XDefiant is a love letter to the arcade arena shooter! Is it a CoD-killer? Pfft....I have no idea. We're just trying to make a game that people can love for a long time. But it is up to all of you, the players, to make

As 2020 is almost wrapped up, I accomplished many things:
-Graduating w/ a BFA in Animation
-Hired as a Rigging Intern for HiRez Studios
-Later got hired as an Associate Technical Animation for Rogue Company
-Released three skins
I don't know what to even say but...
I MADE IT!
I've been MIA for a bit, but hi
I've been putting my head down and working daily and focusing on just myself and spending time with very few people. The layoffs have had me worried, so I just resorted to fully tackling any tasks that are beyond my capabilities.
I want to live
This thread blew up and it's filled with countless of advice, tips and suggestions from the industry. PLEASE read through it all!
Rigging twitter is the best I swear ♡
Trench has a new look, one that comes from an experience you have yet to uncover. Follow along in the Fallen Heroes Narrative Event to learn how he came to be this way!
THIS IS THE SECOND CHARACTER I WORKED ON DURING MY INTERNSHIP AND I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OFFICIALLY OUT. I AM CRYING.
I AM OFFICIALLY A RONIN MAIN NOW.
But forreal, thanks to Jacob Gordon and Timothy Keebler for their guidance and help for both Snow Jackal and now, Kabuki Ronin!
And to make this even more fun, each day I'll be posting a nice short video of how drastic clothing simulation change a character. First up, Vy Mastermind!
Who knew feathers can make her dress look even more diabolic! Gotta look good when you're a villain 😎
Its patch day, and despite everything the buggy launch, modeling, animation, tech art, concept artist has been able to release one of my favorite battle passes to date and I'm proud of everyone in the team. Please enjoy it!
Also I'm not sober so wiiiiiii
Before I see another comment or reply about devs focusing on the wrong thing, my job is only about skins. Some people focus on gameplay, other on tech stuff, I focus on rig and cloth, hair and fur simulate all the skins available
With that in mind, skirt simulation go brrrrrr
I'm truly proud of Doll Face Dahlia. Mainly because her skirt was the actual reason I discovered how to make skirt simulation which led to adding skirt cloth sim update on Switchblade.
Seriously want to keep breaking the limitations of what we think we are unable to do
Legit received a message that I am approaching my 2nd year anniversary at HiRez and legit started freaking out about life going so fast
Wtf I was just an intern
OUR NEW CHARACTER WAS ANNOUNCED AND I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SKIN WEIGHT AND MY TEAM AND I TACKLED THE CLOTH SIM TOGETHER.
MY 3RD CHARACTER THAT I WORKED ON AS A EMPLOYEE IS COMING OUT SOON AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
