– My favorite rigs –
The insect
The insect has six legs with an IK/FK switch.
Its wings can be deployed and retracted automatically or manually.
The wings can also perform flight movements automatically or manually.
The mandibles, carapace, and abdomens are controllable.
Bender
Bender has fk arms and ik/fk legs.
All limbs can deform into « noodle » shapes (wave-like) and twist.
The entire body can deform into squash and stretch.
The body’s gate opens and deforms along with the rest of the body.
The eyes can extend infinitely and be controlled individually.
The head can rotate, and the antenna can automatically deform be forward/backward/sideways, or manually.
Weasley Van
The van has an automatic (or manual) wheel system that allows the wheels to rotate as the van moves, and also adapts the wheel rotation to the vehicle’s rotation.
A motor is integrated into the vehicle, vibrating the entire system at a selected speed.
The windshield wipers can also be automated, following the shape of the windshield.
The straps that secure the suitcases are adjustable and extendable.
All doors, handles, windows, suitcases, wipers, pedals, and mirrors are controllable.
Facial Rig / Blend shapes
This facial rig test allows you to move different parts of the lips, eyelids, and cheeks. The blendshapes allow you to switch between several emotions, and also to blink both eyes separetly.
Coming soon !
I’m currently learning how to master facial rigs and blend shapes, as well as improving my weight painting skills. I’ll be posting new projects soon!
