Who We Are

History

Built on precision. Grown on trust

Rigbox was born in 2018 in Montreal, out of one rigger’s stubborn belief that character rigs could be both bulletproof and beautiful. After years spent building rigging pipelines, creating rigs, and managing teams across various studios, founder Bruno Blain set out to do it his own way: lean, hands-on, and obsessed with quality.

What started as a one-person operation quickly became a trusted name behind the scenes of major productions, lending its expertise to studios like Ubisoft, Game On, Cinesite, and Singing Frog Studio. Eight years later, Rigbox has rigged its way through 40+ productions, hundreds of characters, and countless animator headaches solved — all without ever losing the boutique spirit it started with.

Our Strenght

Experience

Bruno Blain

Founder & Rigging Supervisor

Bruno has spent over a decade in the trenches of character rigging, building pipelines and rigs for studios large and small before setting out on his own. He founded Rigbox in 2018 to bring that same senior-level craft directly to teams who need it, without the overhead of a big studio.

Every project that comes through Rigbox passes through his hands, from the first pipeline conversation to the final rig handoff, so what you get is consistent, production-tested work with a single point of accountability.

Philosophy

Big standards, no Shortcuts

At Rigbox, rigging isn’t a back-office task, it’s the invisible craft that lets a story breathe. Every rig we build has to pass one test: does it make the animator’s job easier and the character’s performance better? That’s the standard, whether we’re crafting a stretchy, cartoonish creature or a photoreal warrior for a AAA game cinematic.

We believe great rigs come from great collaboration: staying close to your pipeline, your team, and your deadlines rather than working in a black box. And we believe expertise is worth sharing, not hoarding, which is why mentorship sits right alongside production work in what we do. Small team, big standards, no shortcuts, that’s Rigbox.
