Phoney Baloney is a very expressive character rig of a smartphone, as seen in the viral short film, “Like and Follow”.

Recently, Brent posted the Phoney Baloney Maya character rig from Like and Follow, which was a hit short film put together with Tobias Schlage.

Sadly, the FlippedNormals marketplace recently slimmed down through a refocus, leaving some creators without a way to share assets, tools, and tutorials as they did before. One of those asset creators is Brent Forrest, who has a bunch of really cool, customizable stylized VFX assets and rigs for Maya.

Phoney Baloney is a very expressive character rig for a smartphone, featuring IK/FK stretchy limbs, full global scalability, a highly flexible facial setup, and expressive eyeball controls designed for broad cartoon acting.

“Phoney Baloney is the fully featured animation rig from Brent Forrest and Tobias Schlage’s hit short films Like and Follow and Crack, now available for your own productions.”

“This is one of the strongest character rigs I’ve built: production-tested, personality-packed, and ready to drop into your scenes.” – Brent Forrest
