Description

I proudly present the AutoRigger

The AutoRigger will exist of 5 parts:
LegRigger,
ArmRigger,
SpineRigger,
FaceRigger,
RigMaker 

each script will come out individually and when the five parts are finished they will be combined in one interface.
once the AutoRigger is up and running, I will add more functions to it (stretchy bones, toes, etc...)

The AutoRigger is designed so it's not limited to bipeds. since there will be parts that will have to be done manually. for instance the Leg Rigger can be created numerous times in order to create quadruped characters or characters with numerous legs.

note: I will not add more functions to the scripts on request untill i finish the complete rigger.
all tough i will fix bugs when they occur

for questions about the script you can post them here,
find me on 3D Total in this thread: http://forums.3dtotal.com/showthread.php?t=110523
find me on vimeo https://vimeo.com/benjamindelaey
or mail me @ delaeybenjamin@hotmail.com

enjoy!

I'm happy you see the benefits of my script =)
i'll definitely complete the AutoRigger :) already started on the SpineRigger
within a week or so i'll launch the SpineRigger with a new update on the LegRigger, with some minor bug fixes
so stay tuned!

Only IK system？

Very nice and usefull!
But...
This script haven't FK system?

yes, only IK for now =)

benne · 2012-08-06

thx
no it haven't got FK in the legs yet :)
FK in a legrig, to me is more like an extra (like bendy and stretchy bones)
I will include FK in the arm rigger

But when i finish the whole script (arms, legs, spine and face) i'll add extra tools
so then i'll ad FK for the legs too ;)

right now my main priority is to finish off the whole rig so it can already be used.
(also a way to keep myself satisfied, cause else i loose myself in details and i'll loose my interest and never finish it..) :p
once that's done i can improve everything
