very nice!! can't wait to mess with this! Im gonna steal the face rig for my model that I'm working on :P

hooo God!! I will study it and improve my skills >:9 thanks again for the grat idea of a lite version.

I realy need know about node materials and these stuff :/

Greetings

Good!

Sintel is so hot.

LOL, best comment ever.

:mrgreen: i like this movie one question can show me a tutorial to map as did´t in sintel tanks good work

Hy Ben, Sintel Light is a amasing rigg and you solvd a problem I am unable too detect

I also made a Rigg with IK FK Sliders witch is alfter Linking the Groud into a new Blendfile dosen work... the sintel light file does work very well so you oviest solved the probelm.

I would like to send you an E Mail with the file if would like to take a closer look so pleas email me at

I am looking forward to hering from you Christoph aka Dracio cp1982@web.de

on that rig I am trying to learn character animation. the first one already here :)

hey men! I've got a question about FK / IK synchronization. for example: till frame 50 Sintel's arm animated with FK and from frame 51 she grabs spear - it must be in IK. but when I switch to IK... her arm dragging back to IK-effector. as last I am asking you: is there some method to synchronize these two effectors? I mean something about buttons "IK to FK" and vise-versa.

http://vimeo.com/20972435 - Sintel lite faq You want about 5min50sec where it talks about the properties being on bones. If it doesn't appear you'll need to reload the ui script. Hope that helps.

thanks, I watched this video 2 times. On blenderartists.org one man answered to similar question: "...this would only be possible (correct me, if I'm wrong, anyone), if the IK-bones would all be in a seperate armature (or the FK-bones). Otherwise, it'd create dependancy-cycles. I did such a setup myself only recently, and it can be done, but then I bumped into the following problem: Having more than one armature-object in your rig breaks the whole linkability of the rig. Cause (for whatever reason) you can't apply more than one (armature-) object per (linked) group inside your production-file. And no, you can't avoid this by putting one armature into another group. Been there, done that. Won't work at all. Maybe something similar could be (somehow) achieved via python, without constraints at all, like copying LocRotScale from one bone over to another via python only if a button is clicked, but I really can't tell you, my python-knowledge is more than rudimentary, sorry.

So after all, guess you gonna have to sync those by hands "

may be I feel myself too spoilt after Maya and MotionBuilder, but I think it would be nice to have automated sync between FK and IK effectors.

For me, this is the best part about opensource and the community behind it. If you were using any other program, you'd have to pay someone something upwards of fifty dollars to get your hands on a mesh like this for study and use, but not here. I think Blender, with projects like Sintel pushing it down the path, will do more to help further the world of 3D graphics and animation then anything else. This is amazing, and thank you guys.

Would anyone here be interesting in making a little "turn around" animation for this model? I'm using this in my "Nell" demo for One Laptop per Child: http://cscott.github.com/nelldemo/nell_home_test.html -- see http://cscott.github.com/nelldemo/ for some context. The camera swoops in over her left shoulder then turns to face her. At the moment I'm just rotating the whole model, and I tweaked the camera path a bit to disguise this a little by zooming in close on Sintel's face. It would be nice to have an animation where the character senses the camera's approach and turns to her left slightly to face the camera as it approaches. I'm not an expert on character animation and rigging, though, and I've got a lot of other code to write for the demo -- but if anyone wanted to help out with the animation I could probably find enough cycles to figure out how to hook it up in three.js. Thanks!

Excelent!!! great job!!

forget turbosquid. Blendswap rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a beautiful model and fantastically rigged I'm having some fun now with some animation. Maybe one day I could make a model as good as this. Thank You :D

Thank you this is awesome.

Thank you!

Thank you!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9i9NNMWVbSk is where you will find the finished dance i did using this blend

This is an awsome model and all the detail like the hair and the rigging, Thx.

gracias

This is amazing. Only thing is, I found out this was already used in an animation, so I'm not going to use it. My quest for a good rigged model continues...

Great work! The boots look a bit like rubber :-) but for me I don't care!

I used it in my animation - and I hope I did the credits right !

I downloaded this, thank you.

Espectacular!!!

Ported the full Sintel model on the DVD to cycles materials if anyone's interested :) http://www.blendswap.com/blends/characters/sintel-cycles/

wow

Just got into character modeling, this will be very useful when I get into animation and rigging, Thank you very much for this!

as me a noob for blender, sincere thanks for sharing this model.

Thank you!
