Creature mechanics refers to the technical process of rigging and building functional skeletal and muscle systems that allow digital creatures to move realistically in animation and visual effects. Technical directors and character riggers use specialized software (such as Maya) to simulate musculature, skin sliding, and locomotion for non-human characters. It is a specialized subfield within VFX and animation pipelines at studios producing film, television, and games.
