Re: Unity Vehicle Rig ― Best Approach?
I created a Vehicle rig for a recent project so this is quite easy. You can just use some nulls and link the geometry to them. When you weight the geometry (skin) it you can get away with a cleaner file structure, so deformers and mesh can have seperate hirarchies. There is no need to work with "bones". Just use a bunch of… -
Help! How to create a root control for a rigged character
Hello! I'm modeling a squirrel (quadruped)in Maya 2015 and have fully rigged it but didn't make a root control that the whole rig is moved with, so when I try to move the whole rig (by selecting all my controls) the squirrel's mesh goes crazy. I've tried just parenting everything(controls and rig) under a new control but… -

Rigging for the Animators: Nice Features to Have?
What are some rig features or controls that you find useful, or make your work easier? Especially uncommon ones you wish more rigs had. Conversely, what are some rig features/controls/setups that drive you nuts and make your life difficult? For example, I find it's nice to have the rotation order as a attribute in the… -
Modo Rigging/Animation - few questions
I recently started working on my rigging/animation skills. I am rigging and animating in Modo and using it all in Unity. I have a rig in which legs and arms have IK solvers. I also have some constrains on feet. Some of the controllers are just parents of bones (like those blue cubes driving the spine or head and neck).… -
Re: (Animation) Max->Maya rigging general question
1. Yes, use animate->ATOM, works quite well 2. HumanIK has a mirroring function, custom Rigs dont. When you use Mark Jacksons fantastic Red9 Tools, you can set up your custom Rig mirrorable. http://red9-consultancy.blogspot.de/ 3. Yes it works like charm like in Motionbuilder, however, i havent tried to retarget onto a… -

Questions Regarding rigging
Hey Polycount, I'm pretty new into rigging and there are somethings I'd like to do as a project but i've been told not everything is riggable. 1. is it feasible to rig a contortionist as seen below in 3d for a set of gymnastic animation shorts? I've seen a number of gymnastic clips in animation but most of them are limited… -
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… -
3Ds Max CAT Rig broken?
Hey all, I'll keep this short. I am new to Rigging and I was setting my cat rig up, adjusting skinning, ect. Went to go animate to test weights, and now the rig moves separate from the mesh. All the bones are applied in the mesh and the mesh's vertex weights still appear correct in view port. Anything I could possibly try…
