The villain of Kung Fu Panda 3 has a penchant for chains. In addition to the links adorning his belt, he uses long chains, attached to a pair of wide bladed swords, to control or destroy the environments that he encounters. To give our artists the power to freely drive these chains, we developed a series of tools focused on interactive user control, all without dismissing the harsh rigidity of solid metal.
