[neosushi]

Hello Everybody,
i think this Challange is pretty fine. I really think this is going to be fun. So here is my entry stuff. I wish everybody good luck and of course alot of fun.

Here are some screenshots of the actual rig in progress:



And here is a small turntable movie of the rig:

Until now i setup the skeleton, constraints and controller. Next step will be weighting.

Ok here we go again. I have started to weight the character roughly. So please be nice with me I'll retouch the weights over so it looks better.
Oh, i also forgot to introduce myself, what a pitty
My name is David Drayton, i am a 3D Operator living in Germany.
I work with CINEMA 4D and also do alot of compositing works.
I started rigging half a year ago and didn't got very far since then. Still alot to learn. But i am very willing to
I mainly participate in this challange to learn, learn and learn

I also attached a movie with the rigs features. I also added a SplineIK to,
get the Spine correct and getting it twisting.

Well here we go again
I started to animate a walkcycle to figure out how this creature could be able to walk. I also added some wobbely brains to the head. But i guess i need to reduce that a bit. Gives him a to funny look. And he isn't funny at all

Here ya go (ca. 2MB QT7):

Hi neosushi,

that looks nice - especially the wobbely look. I wouldn't worry about the funny motions. What would be wrong with a tough guy who has also his humorous sides ?

Did you key each leg seperately or did you reuse the animation of the front legs ?

cheers,
Gonzo

BTW: good to see that there are other C4D entrants

[neosushi]

Hello gonzo3D,
well i ahve keyed them all seperately to stay in controll of what i am doing.
The wobbely look got reduced just slightlyy didn't want to loose it.

Yes it's great that there is another C4D user out there rigging and animating.
Good luck mate.

cheers

hi,

It really looks like a good rig. I don't know cinema4D, but I just wonder how you did your control window. Is it a cinema4D fonctionnality or did you script this interface yourself ? It seems very handy. Great idea.

see you,

laspatul

[asblaze]

laspatul - this window is build-in Cinema. Its come from mouted plugin with characters.

But from my experience - its better to write sciript than learn new program especialy Cinema ;P

[gonzo-3D]

Yes, in Cinema R10 this window is a quite useful built-in feature called visual selector. In the earlier releases it was available as a seperate plugin.

cheers,
Gonzo
