Re: [Maya] Quick Rig tool - adding finger joints?
This is one of those old threads that I thought I'd add to, since I was running into this issue myself and figured I'd just be a yammer pie about how I think the workflow with humanik quickrig is both great and crappy at the same time. i believe that the bipedal character setup that quickrig provides is meant "literally"… -
How to Include Skin Wrapped Objects in your Skeletal Mesh?
So, I'd like to import my model as a skeletal mesh into UE4. However, there are a few elements of my model that are not bound to any bones. They use skin wraps to drive animation instead. Those pieces of the model do not import as part of the skeletal mesh in UE4. The first image is the geometry that is rigged. The… -
Re: Maya cannot set rotation more than once
argh, you have to do real rigging if you want something done right. a mocap skeleton, a bind skeleton, and an offset skeleton. I have a friend make me skeletons/rigs that I bind and use. Bake everything down to the bind skeleton and you're done... Here’s the rigging environment my friend recommends… -
Zbrush learning, "Skeltron" evil bot character.

Re: Blending Keyframe Animation with Physics (Partial Ragdoll)
@muchogrande oh sorry, I didn't watch it to the end. I see it now. I think we can consider that from-the-neck-up ragdoll blending as an appendage as well -- that is, in relation to the thorax, the neck and limbs etc. are appendages. So a similar mechanism can be used. Turns out that on Blender the cloth settings to get… -

Re: Rigging Questions - Maya
If it helps to think of it as a classic marionette. The control rig is the wooden +, in it's own scene. The mesh/rig are the puppet, in their own scene. The strings are the constraints between them. First thing I do is create just a skeleton and bind the mesh to it. Save that as a "skin" file and reference it into a new… -
Re: Scaled joints on Hierarchy (Maya/FBX)
I've dealt with this before and it was a pain, I'll detail the steps as closely as I remember them. I duplicated the mesh and skeleton, destroying the input graph on the copies. Put the scale of the skeleton back to 1 (now it should be really small) In the channel box, multiply all of the translation values on all of the… -

Re: UT2004 Weapon placement problem
Well, you're a bit farther along than I am in some ways. My mesh is already linked to a skeleton and animated. And the way my 3D suite (3dmax) works, you can't scale up the mesh and skeleton and the same time. And if you try to scale up one or the other - well, let's just say the results aren't pretty. So only option would…
