Other Rigging
Set Driven Key Hands
Set driven keys allow you to record attribute values much like animation keys but instead of being tied to the timeline they are tied to other attribute values. For example, You can create attributes for each finger in a hand, then record the joint rotations of the finger joints at different values for those attributes.
Other Rigging
Let's finish up other missing rigging elements such as the eye rigging.
Rig Cleanup
Cleanup the Rig
This means parenting everything together, removing of extra nodes, and placing everything under a single node.
Assignment 03
Character Rig
Although auto-rigs are useful for quickly rigging characters you have little control over them. Instead it is a good idea to create custom rigs that you understand and can make adjustments to. In this next assignment you will manually produce a character rig. You may use any bipedal humanoid character you like.
For Next Class: Complete the rig (cleanup)
You will be graded on the following:
- Model Prep & Skeleton Placement
- Evaluate and correct any problems in the model and create the skeleton.
- Weight Painting

- Rigging
- Create the rigging such as FK, IK, and Spline solvers with curves for controllers.
- Blend Shapes
- Design a variety of blend shapes to allow for facial movements.
