Certain points of interest to make this work nicely is to observe proper naming conventions for the Left or Right sides respectively, make use of the Flip Names tool, and correct any […]
Here we take a look at how to set up Spline IK to deform a cylinder type mesh. This could be used to animate rope, pipes, tails, tentacles, objects along those lines. Firstly we create a rig to deform the cylinder nicely, and then use the curve to control the movements of those bones. A […]
A while ago cgcookie made a character builder and rig for their animation training toolkit DVD. The rig is released now under a creative commons license for us to use. This video shows how to use the character builder, how to prepare the file for being used as a library file for linking in to […]
