Hahaha....plucked alive during interrogation...what a way to go.

I tried doing a basic rigging on Stezza's chicken so the heads would at least flop over, but I couldn't get it to work...haha.

floppy heads would be great.

I used to do partial rigging and it would work...things that didn't have arms or legs, just long bodies...but for some reason I couldn't get this to work. I might be overlooking a step...it's been a long time since I messed with the Poser setup room.

This was an example of the last time I tried to do simple rigging, back in September 2018 (page 260 in this thread)...Stezza created some toon characters, and I was testing whether the mesh would handle bending in Poser 11 without breaking...this was the road runner quick rig test that I did at the time. Something like this would be all that the chickens would need in order to be able to flop around a little.

I've read where rigging is more easily done in Studio, so maybe that would be the better way to go?

 

[skylab]

Iray render in progress...it's not easy being green

Nap time...see you later

 

[Linda B]

I've only rigged in Blender.

 

[skylab]

Hehe....

 

[Linda B]

Kermie!

Attempting to rig rubber chicken in Blender. I forget how!

eta: found a rigging tutorial that's easy to follow Building A Basic Low Poly Character Rig In Blender

While I was working with the scene above, I happened to run my mouse cursor over some of the aniBlocks at the bottom of the screen...and it cracked me up

 

[Linda B]

hehehe

 

[skylab]

This is actually what I saw because of the scene angle...from behind...and I got a good laugh off of it

 

[Linda B]

Nekked frog butt!

Rigging will need to wait for the weekend when I have a fresh brain. Been a long time since I used Blender. But I do know understand the tutorial.

 

[skylab]

That's like Poser rigging, only only messed with very basic operations, but they've always worked when I've tried it...so either I've forgotten a necessary step in the process, or the process has changed a little. Will Blender rigging transfer and be functional in Studio?

 

[Linda B]

Oooh that I don't know. I guess we'll find out. Tried to do it in DS but couldn't figure it out.

 

[skylab]

...and finally, the front view

[Linda B]

Thank you. The cylinder one should work.

 

[Linda B]

Ooops!

 

[skylab]

Is that an attack of a zombie earthworm? Hahaha.
