Sanura was such a fun character to work on, I felt she needed to be shared with the world! Hopefully she can help bring African representation into animation demo reels.

Character Design by Karly Catto, Alicia Scott Nichols, and Brielan Gale

Model by Trevin Keeney, Textures by Dallin Jones.

Compatible with Maya 2018+

Rigged with Advanced Skeleton

Helpful Character Notes:

• Pronounced "Suh-Nor-Uh"

• About 12 years old

• Senegalese ethnicity, but can be used as a general African character

• Female

Distinct Rig Features:

• Legs can switch proportions between DESIGNER (a 1:2 ratio according to her original design, as seen in the first thumbnail) or EVEN (a 1:1 ratio that allows for easier, more natural movement). This can be found on the FK/IK switch for each leg.

• Four fingers systems: Smart, AutoCurl, IK, and FK

• Hair UpNDown and Side2Side Controls allow you to animate hair in a way that appears simulated. Rotate Z controls the up/down/side movements.
