Thanks trajcedrv! :) I'm glad you like it. In order to see the armature, first click on reload trusted on the top of blender. Then in 3d view: open "Key N" panel, and unselect "only render" in the display panel.
Thx! This was fast! I've re-downloaded Wasip and played with it for a few minutes. Once again: great character, thank you for sharing!
muy bueno, hace tiempo que no veía un rig tan elaborado subiéndose por aquí y con un pesado al que apenas yo retocaría, si usaras drivers para manejar las shapes keys con huesos dejarias el modelo de facil uso hasta para los principiantes de blender en animación, muchas felicidades le doy 8´5 al modelo muy bueno, siga esforzandose @charlycarletto
Muchas gracias Poll. Qué alegría me das con tu comentario jeje. Estoy de acuerdo respecto a lo de los drivers, este modelo lo hice hace un par de años y desde entonces no lo he retocado; ahora ya sé como aplicarle drivers. Seguramente en un futuro lo resuba con un rig facial decente. Un saludo.
This is a very good rig : nice, fun, powerful, easy to master and really well designed and parametered ! I used it as an example for my Blender students yesterday and they loved it (I was teaching them about rigging, FK/IK and Rigify) ! I'm sure they will train on it during the summer holidays and it will be nice to see the results...
Thank you very much, Alex. It's an honour for me knowing that someone finds my rig useful for teaching. Take care! :)
This is a great character, but it would be easier to use if the shape keys and all controls had English names.
Learn Spanish. It's the second most spoken language in the world, and it's very easy :)
Blender only uses english and we also have to learn it.
You two are right, in fact ! That's why, as a french man, I learned English AND Spanish ;-) I'm starting Italian, German and Japanese, come back in a few years =:)
Very cool! I did notice one thing though, when I shrink him he becomes deformed. Is there a setting to allow resizing without the body deforming?
I did the rig long ago, I think it's not posible to resize with the "Root" driver. Try to resize the rig in "object mode".
Hi Charletto. I love the rig but I'm having problems with his teeth. They load down below the chin area. I tried the re-load button but it doesn't change anything. I'm on a MAC and I'm using the latest version of Blender 2.77. What can I do to fix this issue? Please let me know. Thanks (grazie mille) Marcello
Awesome rig, thou I experienced some problems when I tried to scale to fit my scene, the head and feet get squashed.
What Im I doing wrong?. I've opened the blend and armature is invisible.
Btw: Totally cute character with lots of animation potential. I've looked at the tutorial and I like it even more. If only a could only make it animatable ;-)
