hello everyone, iam working on a project which's got worms as characters, i've got the other things ready but now i've got to rig it, plz help me, do i hav to build an fk system???? if yes how, the worm does lotsa stuff with its tail like turning pages on a book n so on..
if any one hav got a creative solution, throw it in
i've my deadline reaching fast so plz helpppp....
tnx in advance
Well it depends on what you need. Rigging is about the challenge of finding a accaptable solution for a challenging problem at fastest time.
my suggestion is as goes, version 1 (simple but flexible). Use a twist node followed by a wire transofrm on curve that has lenght lock on. Then make a character set that keys all the points of each key.
second use the a spline ik solver a bit like above. Or alternatively sue a spring ik solver. with fk.
elborate: path anim on a if spline and translate alpng mean, this sia biytricky as it beciomes VEry complex for all the needed controls very quickly.
As a genberal rule of thumb id say that rigging a wrom is the next most hardest thing.
tnx jooja, am not good in rigging so plz bear with me, i like version 1 coz its simple but i need to know a few things
when u say "twist node followed by wire transform on curve that has length lock on" i dont exactly get it, is the twist
deformer with wire deformer??? plz give more detail on this
n secondly, does this method of rigging allow us to do things like rotating the tail around a cup n lifting it or posing the worm
sitting on a chair n so on.
