Season 01 – Episode 42 – Finished Puppet

We Finished the Puppet!

And with this we have the answer to everything puppet, which pleases me a lot given this was episode number 42 🙂

Beside a small amount of chasing one’s own tail in the middle to add a feature that had already been added this was a very good stream for me.

Lots got done in the first hour
We added proper negative scaling consideration in the FK ankle. We re-inspected various elements and then mirrored the foot and finally cleaned up everything and relaxed the IK distance constraints a bit.

All of this gets us to a full, finished puppet and get the scene in state that can be finally shared with the audience again (I will edit this post then tweet as soon as I have that available).

There’s also a good 10 minutes of answer to a question asked on Twitter about live guides vs build scripts that might be worth it for some.

Enjoy!

Season 01 – Episode 41 – Fixing and Mirroring Components

Fixing and Mirroring Components

Title kind of says it all, really.

In a belated follow-up to the investigations and explanations about the maths behind signing angles we fix the only obvious issue that was left with the foot and put our guides to the test by mirroring the now potentially finished components.

Only one bugfix left for the leg FK, if everything goes well, to do in the next stream and then the rig should finally be complete for sharing.
