Rigging is fun!

[Janet]

Here's a tutorial I made about rigging mechanical objects (bikes, gears) that I made with tips and tricks I learned from a recent project.

That's very good Janet, thanks.

 

[Janet]

Thank you! It's all the little things that you don't find in rigging tutorials. Like the restrict groups things.

 

[mininessie]

Thank you so much sweetie!

 

[Rowan54]

That should be very helpful. Thank you!

I have to admit the title of this thread made me go - "ha ha ha hahahah " - no offense intended. I have struggled with rigging human figures and generally see stars. Off to watch the video now.

I haven't used Poser for years now except on a rare occasion if asked by a vendor to do a beta test. Having said that, I really enjoyed this. I never went into "that room" in all the years I used Poser. It was just too scary!!

Only suggestion I have is to leave your slides on the screen a bit longer. I had to keep pausing to read some of the longer text blocks on a few pages. And I didn't see the process for renaming the bones and missed a couple other things. But overall, it was informative for me. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.

I had intended to do a screen capture of me doing it in poser but I'm using the capture software that comes with windows. It only showed the poser work area and not anything else like the uppermost buttons or joint editor.

Renaming bones is done on the side under properties.

Here it is.

Ah, ok, thanks. I see it now.

I'm ready for a new challenge. There is a free Sphinx cat here that's a static prop. I'm going to try and rig it.

Oh, I love him! I always get a tickle out of his front feet. He looks like he's wearing slippers. I am so excited to see what you can do with him. WooHoo!

 

[Janet]

Yah he is cute. It's coming along.
