My portfolio now says hi before you do. 👋
I rigged my own portrait into a live character that sits at the top of my site. It isn’t a video or a GIF. It’s a real-time rig running in your browser.
→ His eyes follow your cursor, wherever it goes
→ 20 states: happy, laugh, wink, startled, annoyed, sneeze, yawn, thinking, all the way to falling asleep with the Z’s floating up
→ 14 strands of hair with real physics, so every turn and flick settles naturally
→ Super Saiyan mode: the same hair strands rise into the crest and turn gold. No swapped artwork.
This video runs through every state in one take, with a cursor clicking through the state machine.
