Rigging Update - Main Character pt 6 Arms


Belive it or not, I spent one whole day, yes,

One whole day yesterday setting up the rig for the left arm excluding the fingers and I went to sleep straight away after I was done.

Last time I did my own custom rig, I spent half a day only. With that you can see the vast technical difference between advanced rigging and my initial knowledge of simple rigging which wasn't really that simple either.

I do not wish to explain in detail how much pain I've gone through to finally complete the setup.

All I can say is that the rig consists of fk/ ik rig setups for the upper and lower arm, plus a lot of other bonus controls like setting the visibility of ik and fk controls and animation fk/ ik choice settings using the expression editor and several MEL scripts.

Easier said than done.

However I pulled through and that's what counts, so let's proceed on to the fingers.
