About
The person behind the rigs.
I'm Luis de Campos, and I rig characters, mostly for creatures.
What I love about this job is that the learning never stops. I'm always looking for new answers to old rigging problems, and just when I think I know something, my eye gets sharper and I discover the craft all over again.

How I work
My rigs are simple: just the bare minimum, with nothing missing—because the simpler the rig, the freer the animator. For me, good deformation is non-negotiable: whatever the pose, it has to look right. And when it comes to feedback, clear notes are all I need—tell me what you want to achieve, and finding what's broken becomes my job.

Teaching
Ever since I discovered teaching, sharing what I'm passionate about has been one of my greatest joys. While students often look for a step-by-step recipe to get quick results, the truth is that no miracle recipe exists for a rig—which is why I focus on teaching why each part exists and what it's for.

Off the clock
Even off the clock, I'm usually learning something—though my wife keeps telling me I need to unplug (and she's right, I'm working on it!). To clear my mind, I get out into nature for some hiking or cycling, travel whenever I can, and love building things with my own hands.
