    Great stuff Jeremy. I would love to pick your brain about the mocap transfer. The picker is real nice. Your facial rigging technique is great. I took inspiration from that face rig and applied it to the facial rigging work I am doing. Thanks for the inspiration. Keep up the great work.

    Thanks man! As for the mocap stuff, you would not even believe how simple it is. I tried all of these complicated solutions first, but basically, all I'm doing is bringing the rig back to it's bindPose, duping off the skeleton that the mesh is weighted to(it has a namespace to avoid name conflicts) and then renaming it to match our clean skeleton. Then I constrain the controls to the joints, import fbx, bake down controls, and delete the temporary skeleton. And the great thing is, this works on anything!

    Thanks so much for the kind words everyone! Being the lone TD here, I'm never sure if my work is current or cutting edge with what else is out there.

    Impressive Work Jeremy

    are you planning to share this Autorig toolset to other animators?
    i am a game animator at Brazil and tried a lot of rigging strategies, from building from scratch to those premade like the ab autorig, but is was forced to switch to 3dmax and use the biped wich is a faster solution
    but 3dmax makes the animation a painful task =]
  • Jeremy Ernst plus 3 months ago
    unfortunately, I cannot freely release as it is technically the property of the company I work for. I would love to do something like that one day if I ever found the free time!

    Thanks for sharing!Very inspiring stuff! Just curious, you are using a rivet tool to get your joints to stick to a mesh? I have been using Maya's "emit from object" particle node. Once created you can delete the particle and keep the emitter, once the emitter is made you can parent anything you like to it and it will now follow your mesh. I was using this to explore how to auto create a new skeleton based off the morphing/blending of your base character geo. I have a little video I made if you would like to take a look vimeo.com/4931466.

    This is brilliant work. And it's actually just the stuff that I've been thinking about trying out. So this is perfect reference for me, try and replicate some of this.

    And being the sole TD, you're a brave soul man. Keep rocking!
