if im just rigging inanimate objects like a foldable tables and chairs, do i need to worry about skinning? im watching digital tutor's beginner's guide to rigging in 3ds max 2011 and the instructor rigged a robotic arm. everything worked just fine without a skin modifier since there was no skin or cloth that needed to…
I have a rigged character model (used rapid rig script) created on a PC using Maya 2012 and the file size 127MB. I have had no problems opening the file. I sent the file (via dropbox) to a friend for him to animate. He opened up the file in Maya 2013 on his mac and *only the rig is showing and no model* (the model is…
I need models and such to rig so i can make a reel, this is for my own personal use so I will be keeping the rig files etc. If you want me to rig characters for you for your projects I can do that at a negotiable rate but for right now I'm just looking for stuff to flesh out my reel.
Hey everyone. I figured some people on here would like a decent quadruped rig to play with. I took one on CreativeCrash and updated it significantly, mostly in the face. It's rigged more like a biped, but it works pretty decently as a quadruped (which I am using now for a shot.) Check it out, leave love, or hate, s'all…
Hi! I'm new to Unreal and currently trying to gather all the info I can about it before start. What's the basic workflow to get a rig going in Unreal? Can we import our own rigs from a DCC into Unreal? I know there are things to consider, like corrective blend shapes do not read. What extension do we use? I've heard of…
Hi, I wanted to rig character I made, and at the begining I realise that my character is triangulated and all riging should be done with quads. I triangulate it becouse I baked normal maps in xnormal. I notice that if i don't triangulate before baking, normal map look wavy in marmoset. becouse xnormal triangulate my mesh…
Animation terminology is as follows... Geometry is skinned for deformation to bones. Bones are rigged to control objects for animation. Using skinning and rigging interchangeably can get confusing. So just stick to the above. I'll rephrase this..."This only works on the bones if they are not rigged" The Skin modifier keeps…
i not rig expert but I believe you'll need an aim constraint on the elbow. Also try tweaking its position slightly to influence which way it wants to bend. Like oglu said, for human characters there is so many powerful and free auto-rigs out there, no reason to do yourself unless you just triyng to learn (in which case,…

In rig file I used Move Skin Joint tool to change position of a joint. In animation file that references the rig file, I reloaded rig file and all changes except the Moved Skin Joint have been updated. Anything I can do to refresh this change? Do I need to make the same joint adjustment in each animation file, or perhaps…
