Dear Riggers
when using Tweak Ctrl Widgets don't use completly round 'balls'. Make the curve on the horizontal plane into a dimond shape. This way its easier for animators to keep track of the axis while animating.

Trying to create a Virtual Bone and add some skinning to it all in Unreal (using the modelling tools menu). But constant crashes so far.
Anyone attempting something similar?

Another test with RBF Nodes addon for #b3d .
No simulation, just RBF interpolating a bunch of 'poses'.
I am probably not doing it optimally yet but it's not difficult to setup.

Many free Maya rigs often have scaling issues, I know they are free, but uniform scaling is one of the most crucial (and basic) functions there is.

We just released this awesome Control Rig Samples Pack for Unreal Engine.. Great for learning and animating in the engine as well as looking into the internals on what our awesome riggers have been doing with the latest Control Rig magic!!

Here's a workaround to add width to custom bone Shapes in #b3d When using meshes as custom shape, just add this geometry node group. Now you can change the resolution and width of your shape

Really been looking forward to the release sample project - particularly the Cardboard Box rig! #UE5 #ControlRig #Animation #rigtip

Loving the new Maya 2024 math nodes, took long enough!

I made a quick example here on how you can create a pose reader with stereographic projection

starting playing with blender node based rig prototype and I love it!. All the work made by the animation module is so much appreciated. Here I'm keeping the location of one bone between other two or overshooting it

Any riggers out there have some cool info on Maya 2020's memory leak? I'm curious to read up about it. #rigtip #rigging #animation

I always see blender rigs using meshes as custom shapes but it is also possible to use bezier curves! which is really handy as they already have a depth/width and resolution to play around with

I am starting to understand how the new Skin rig types in Rigify work.
Once you get how things connect it's kinda fun!
