Rig explanation Sarah Without a Soul









Without a soul - Rigging - Stage Two

Here is an overview of a rigging process of the female character for Without A Soul. This rig is definitely more advanced comparing to Aldon's rig. It has some extra stuff like IK/FK switch for the arms, automatic clavicle, forearm and arm rotation option more friendly controls and more. I have touched on a bit of MEL which in the end wasn't so bad and I think with a bit more time and coffee I could learn it. I have definitely enjoyed rigging. I find that observational skills are so needed and I got to work with another aspect of human figure and motion. I'm happy as well that I this project happened to be before I took on modelling. It help me understand how important is a good model and correct topology. I hope my modelling will benefit from this project.
