Punk Girl - Body Rig
Personal Project
Body Rig • Python Custom Script
Final Result
Breakdown
Hand Features
I added custom attributes for the hand using set driven keys. The attributes can be combined to create unique hand gestures such as:
- Arch
- Fist
- Spread
- Scrunch
- And more!
Foot Features
Foot custom attribute features using the reverse foot setup. I also added in a whole foot pivot which can be used by translating the ctrl. Here are a few of the features
- Foot roll with adjustable angle
- Foot Rock
- Toe Bend
- Ball, Heel, and Toe Tip Twist
Ribbon for Limbs
I created custom ribbons for the arms and legs to allow the animator to have full control and create fun, wacky movements like wavy and squashed deformations for this stylized character.
Helper Joints and Corrective Blendshapes
Custom Helper Joints and corrective blendsahpes were added to the limbs to help with volume preservation and deformation. The additional helper joints extend outwards when the main joints are rotated.
Dress Corrective Blendshapes
Correctives were not only added to the body, but also the bottom of the dress as well to better deform with the movement of the legs. Additional combo sculpts were necessary to account for movement of both legs together.
Soft IK
I created a custom script for soft IK on the IK system for the limbs. Turning on the soft IK will prevent the limbs from snapping open as the arms or legs extend outwards. I also added a softness falloff attribute so the animator can adjust the amount of softness.
