Master of Rigging

This is a demonstration of a plugin that I am writing for Blender 2.5. The concept is based around the idea of a library of body parts that modelers/animators/riggers can select from to create their own unique rigs for characters. Its not finished by any means but you can see the concept and current status here. Enjoy!

Leafs are placed and simulated with mbFeatherTools.
The tree model was created with T-Gen and merged into a "trunk" and a "twigs" object. A feather system was then applied to the "twigs" mesh. Visit feathertools.michael-buettner.com for more information.

Made by me; perry leijten, student @ IGAD i have made this script to make life easier as a character rigger. this script takes about 20 minutes to set up all the joints in the right position and modify the control curves but then its finished. the script contains:
- stretchy legs + reverse foot control
- ribbon spine
- blendable and switchable ik/fk arms and fingers (with button)
- expressions for eyelid movements (and blink button)
- the script allows tha rigger to modify the colors if the curves real fast
- it also allows fast locking of unwanted attributes
- and its possbible to make more of each chain of joints so you can make all kinds of monsters/characters/animals.


this movie isnt finished yet, i'm going to make a voice over on it to explain all in perfect detail,

but for now, enjoy
