rig_on_skeleton

Hi! This is a set of tools for programmatically creating rigs on top of pre-built skeletons

This toolset is currently designed to be run entirely through code, with the functional, and character-specific build code split into their own files.

The main functional code is situated in rig_on_skeleton.py, and there are two example scripts for the rig building. These are metahuman.py and brooke.py.

How to run

from rig_on_skeleton import brooke  # Replace this with the specific runner module
from importlib import reload  # Reloads only need to be added if you're actively working on the code
reload(brooke)
brooke.run()

Supported functionality:

• Class based Main Rig and Limb system ($Rig and $Limb)

• Class based controller creation ($CtrlSet)

• Class based attribute creation ($Attr)

• Automatic pole vector placement

• Locking and Hiding of non-animation friendly attributes

• Enum Space Switching ($SpaceSwitching)

• (In Progress) Three Bone Limb (Arms/Legs) ($ThreeBoneLimb)::

  • (Working) FKIK
  • (Working) Pole Locking
  • (In Progress) Limb Stretch
  • (Planned) Arbitrary twist bones

• (In Progress) Digitigrade Leg (4 bone leg, e.g. Dog legs) ($)

  • (Requires fixing) FKIK
  • (Planned) Pole Locking
  • (Planned) Limb Stretch
  • (Planned) Arbitrary twist bones
