Animation Picker Tool
Introduction
Over the summer internship of 2024 at Riot Games League of Legends Team, I developed a picker tool in Maya. A picker page is a 2D interface in Maya that allows users to select and interact with 3D control easily, usually used by animators. I implemented an Animation Picker System that allows artist to author, publish, and edit "picker pages", and integrated the tool into Riot's proprietary source art management system.

Test Animations
As an animator, I tested out the tool by creating full picker pages for the character Aatrox, and then animating using the created picker pages. I was able to critique my own tool from an artist's perspective and make improvements.
Here are two funny test animations I made using the implemented picker tool:
