Description:

Contains 3 characters, including my old Porl character (but refined a tad bit and dressed).

Press N to open up all the UI options. The foot roll, finger rolls and face controls are all there using sliders, just select the right bones to see them. The IK/FK, stretch controls and layers are always there though. If you want to keyframe one of the sliders just hover your mouse over it and press I to insert a keyframe.

If you want to add your own clothing, just delete all the clothing parts, select the main mesh and remove the mask modifier to reveal the whole body.

The rigs are all the same and consistent too, have fun.

Also, make sure your Armature name is always Porl_Rig or Ed_Rig or Elaine_Rig depending on what character you're using, or else you won't see all the UI controls. If you're planning to link the characters into a scene and then making a proxy for the armature, it'll remove the _Rig part and add _Proxy so make sure to rename it.

    Where do I find good and detailed tutorials about this kind of face rig and UI controls?

    @Adriano Well you don't really need one, just find any facial animation tutorial. I just added a huge stack of controls to make it flexible. Use them to make whatever mouth shapes you want, just hover your mouse over a control and press i to put in a keyframe, and play around with them to get something you like. Then just move onto your next pose.

    @VMComix Thank you. I was looking for tutotiais about seting this kind of facial rig. By the way, how to build pose libraries with this, like facial expressions and phonems?

    Written July 08, 2011
  • VMComix profile picture
    VMComix

    @Adriano oh. Well i'm not too sure if you can use properties in the pose library but you could try. As for how to make the rig, it's shape keys being controlled by property sliders, and then using a script i simply placed them in the side bar. If you select the face bone, and go to the bone properties you'll see them all. There's some documentation on properties here

    http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Manual/Extensions/Python/Properties

    Although you should search around in other places too to learn more.

    @Adokin If you press I while hovering your mouse over a slider you can keyframe it, and use it as any other bone in the dope sheet. They have restrictions because they are just shape keys, and only deform the mesh to a certain point. If they don't suit you, you could always go into the base mesh and adjust the shape keys yourself to whatever you need.

    Text translated with google translator.

    Could you put a video tutorial (preferably in Spanish) that explain how to make a character like that?

    Or a link to a video tutorial would settle.

    BTW: Very good models. I hope you keep doing more like that.

    @El_favorit Well I'm not sure about Spanish but there's some good rigging tutorials at BlenderCookie.com, and some good ones on youtube such as the Johnny Blender series (which go over making a character from start to finish). The UI I'm not sure if there's a tutorial, I figured it out by fiddling with it myself.

    Thanks for the rigs! Super!!! They have come in very handy for story boarding. I can append the rig and character by using the group property in the blend file, but how do I append the properties area that controls the IK? Or is there a hot key I am missing for that?

    Written August 04, 2011

    @Markharrel and Pancreasboy, make sure your version of blender is 2.57 or above. Also make sure the script gets appended as well, go into the text editor and make sure you have the .py file. If you don't then just append it and run it separately.

    @Pancreasboy Yes if you want multiple of the same character in a scene you'll have to change the armature name and the reference in the script. And if you want to show the teeth go to the lip controls and move the top lip up a bit and the bottom lip down. I'm updating these rigs currently and adding another character (but getting rid of Porl, I just don't really like him). But I'm completely redoing the topology and shape keys to make it look a bit better, and a little cleaner.

    @Lala I'm not sure, are you keyframing correctly? You have to hover your cursor over the slider and press I to set a keyframe, the auto key won't work if you didn't set a keyframe initially.

    @Pancreasboy Unparenting and parenting won't do anything. If you want to make changes to the shirt you can just do so, just keep in mind that if you extrude more faces you'll have to assign them to specific vertex groups so that they act how you want them to.

    Thanks a ton, VMComix. These are perfect for me.

    I was struggling with importing the script for the facial animation drivers, but then I realized that it's not necessary to control them through sliders in the 3D view. They're also accessible through Properties > Bone > Custom Properties.

    Great share thank you! I'm using your models for a small prototype game involving kinect! Unfortunately I couldn't use your rig since its real time application and I had to modify your characters quite a bit, anyways they provided a really good base model to build on!

    For the Elaine model, I cannot access the body Mesh so that I can modify it. When I hit Tab to go into Edit Mode, the whole body Mesh just vanishes and I'm just looking at the teeth, eyes, and hair.

    Does anybody know what might be causing this? I had no similar problems with the Ed or Porl models.

    Thank you in advance.

    Nevermind my question above.

    The guys at BlenderArtists let me know that the body Mesh was just hidden in Edit Mode (H button). So I just hit Alt + H to reveal everything.

    I don't know whether I hid all this by accident or if the model is in this state when downloaded.

    Sorry I haven't been replying, been a bit busy. @Pancreasboy to copy the same keyframes you can make a duplicate of the animation data by clicking the 2 next to the animation's name in the action editor. Then just go to the other rig and select that animation from the menu (in the action editor).

    @Jachphelt You need blender 2.57 or up for that to work, should've put that in the main post.

    @Adriano, Ha, nice.

    my shape keys are purple and dont let me use them

    Written March 04, 2012
  • Aardvark profile picture
    Aardvark

    @Galaxarstudio The purple means that the shape keys are assigned to drivers, so they can't be directly selected in the shape key section in the usual way anymore. The drivers are assigned in python to sliders on the Properties Panel (the "N" toggle menu). You won't be able to see the shape key sliders unless the proper button is on in the Properties Panel and the appropriate bone is selected on the character.

    For instance: I have Ed in my 3d window and I want to move his jaw down. I turn on the "Face" button in the Properties Panel (under "Bone Layers") AND select the bone over Ed's head in the 3d view. The shape keys for Ed's head, among them, "Jaw Down," will now show up in the Properties Panel.

    It took a bit of experimentation, but in the property window (in pose mode), you'll see a button to make the face control visible. This is a kidney-shaped control above the character's eyebrows. When you select this control, a long list of sliders appears in the properties window under the buttons that activate the controls. It's a little difficult to get to, but the range of control over the face is astounding.

    I do have a question, though. How do you animate their faces? In the picture, they have specific expressions, but after downloading the blend, I don't see any bones there with which to animate.

    Hey TheMazinTar, I don't know how to animate their eyes but to animate the facial expressions you hit the N key which opens up the properties window on the right side. Select that hotdog on a stick looking thing in front of the head and then scroll down till you get to the properties tab. Expand the properties tab and you'll see sliders for cheeks, eyebrows etc. Like I said, I don't know how to move the eyes but there are sliders for them too.

    Can anyone help me figure out how to move the eyes? I don't know what to select to move them. Thanks. BTW, this is my first character animation. I used the Elaine rig.

    Okay, I figured it out. You have to unfreeze some layers in the armature tab box to see the control for the eyes and the right hand.

    VMComix: I love these characters! Also, I would like your "real" contact information since Elaine is the primary character in my book on programming called, "Unity Game Coding Using C#". I also tried contacting you privately last year. It is going "up" on the Asset Store in a few weeks and I will use "VMComix" until you say otherwise.

    Thanks, -Mike Croswell

    Nobody reported this, but if you try to mirror the pose of the character the arms will not work. This is happening because the name of the bone "fk_upper_arm.R." have this dot in the end. Delete this dot and then the rig will work wonderfully fine!

    Hi ! Amazing work, super ultra clean ! And I can learn something with this. A question though : in the rigging tutorials I have, it mostly involves characters all in one mesh. One mesh character is a pain when you want to edit part of something. But you seem to use groups (I think). Is there something to know about doing it your way with groups (special options or something) ?

    Hello,

    I downloaded your Cartoon Character Pack and plan on using Elaine for my short film as a character in it. I was just wondering if all of these characters in this pack including Elaine were created by you? Great job on the rig by the way and I really like the textures you have used for her. I look forward to hearing back from you.

    Thanks, Eric

    Amazing work! This is exactly what I need for my project. But I have two questions for you

    One: Can I use your models in my commercial game (sure thing I'll put your name in the credits)

    Two: Why "Elaine" face normals are so weird when I export your models to FBX and import it into Unity? Porl and Ed works perfectly fine. I'll attach a picture for you: http://prntscr.com/kmvjfm

    Three: Are you up to help me with customizable characters using these models as base? By "customizable", I mean clothes, skin tone, eye color and hair.

    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, the characters and the rigging are great, but when I import the animations to unity, the facial animations don't work. Does anyone know why? I think it's because they are custom proprieties of the face bone, but i'm not sure.

I used them in my first short film coming out soon and 2 of them are my key characters. Though the rig got messy (guess I didn't follow the naming rules) and had to create a new rig on one. I love them still. Perhaps will share link to the piece once its out. Thx!!
