Death_Face_Rig_01

Thought I'd post a quick peak at Death's Face Rig. I'm using Face Machine and it's proving to be very easy to use. This is after the automatic rigging phase but before I've spent any time refining the skinning.

Comment by Michael Cawood - Director on July 31, 2009 at 4:00pm: When I got to this point I discovered the manual assumes the body is already rigged. Doh! I was wondering which way around I was supposed to do it, but it didn't say anywhere I could find it. Thankfully it's a doddle to just hit the Rig button and have it do it again... takes as long as it took to make a drink... a soft drink! So I'll do the body... which is even easier, then re-apply this face rig and sort out the skinning refinements. Then I'll either do the special case rigging myself or see if there is anyone out there that wants to take it on. It's stuff like:

Hood
Hair
Glasses
Tail
Breasts
