New character, to test my new rig. It is simple, yet versatile. A bit like stickman, only for blender 2.56, and more features. There are still some bugs that I have to sort out, but there are some bugs in the latest blender version that prevent me from fixing it. The good news is it’s known in blender’s bug tracker, the bad news is no one has time to fix it yet. Not really that important, I have other stuff I have to focus on again. I’ll continue on this as soon as the current armature/roll bugs for edit/pose mode are fixed.
It’s current features are:
- sidebar UI.
- sliders are context sensitive, and only appear when relevant bones (such as limbs) are selected
- FK/IK switches
- Hinges
- Knee and elbow slides
- Stretch
- Bendy/straight limbs and spine.
- Bone layers.
- A LOT of control, with little controls. I try to stuff as much control in every single bone as possible.
- a separate set of bone layers for easier editing and refitting the rig to a new character.
So, images and a video (more after “Read the rest of this entry”):
Kick it!
