Thanks for providing this great modular auto-rigging scripts .
Ur module's base is strong for further developments . I'll say its almost production standard .
Keep developing it . gl
Nice tool. Thanks.
Just one question - how do you create fk waist control for biped? And why the chest's pivot point is not on t chest control? How do you solve this problem?
Actualy it was 2 questions :)))
Thank you very much, Nilouco, for your great script that will really help to automate the common gigging tasks. However you should really compare your work with Pritish Dogra’s PKD Rig System, which in my opinion has some advantages. Please don’t get me wrong, I just want to point some things out that could be made better in future versions.
First, the spines. Probably I should have tested your system for a long time but I could not find out a lot of options for spine creation. Sometimes it makes sense to control each joint individually but for most cases two or three controls are sufficient. PKD is not ideal either—it’s “Divine†option does not provide a very smooth bending and “Awesome†option adds just two controls, which is good for most cases but the curvature cannot be edited without disassembling the rig.
Second, the hierarchy and joint orientation. The system is really smart but it would be great to see, how all the parts of the rig are assembled—the order of parenting is not visible. I believe that your autorig does a good job at orienting the joints, but probably it’s a good idea to give a user some more control. Even if we have a biped model, it can be posed differently—for example I had a model with hook-like fingers. Of course a manual orientation of joints is very important in such case.
Double joints in limbs are great and the extra joint between elbow and wrist is very useful!
Your system does have a lot of potential—thanks again for sharing it with our community.
