Description:
A simple Card deck Rig, that i've made for this commercial:
http://vimeo.com/57871722
The materials are just plane colors, textures are not included!
Well, it's just a bone chain, controlled by an IK (bones visible in front and the one on the back)
every bone in the chain has one child bone that inherits the rotation and position but NOT the scale (so the cards stay the same scale). All them are in other hidden bone layer.
The third visible bone (vertical one named "slide") can slide the cards in their Z local axis, and can rotate too, for adding extra movement.
here's a illustrative video so you can get the idea:

Of course, this is a very simple rig, as my skills in this area are very limited, but feel free of improve and share!

Edited April 04, 2013By the way, well done on the nominations for the Vacui spacii shorts. I enjoyed the spiral work in Part XIX: texo the most.

Written April 04, 2013I notice there are a couple of bare bones tutorials on there. I really would appreciate one for this card rig, if you can spare the time?

Written October 01, 2013every card has it's own material. :( sorry for that. I bet that would be better to replace the entire set in one texture, but this is not the case. You need to export every card as a png (or jpg) and reload into each one material.

Written January 23, 2014I'm trying to make a deck of cards you can throw like Gambit from the X-Men, and i would like to know how this rig works because there aren't enough cards for my purposes and i cannot replicate the same effect without such a rig.
I just loved the video, so thank you for responding so quickly and uploading the blend, Martin.
I'm very new to node editing and trying to understand what is happening here.
I tried playing the animation: the Timeline and Dope sheet windows cycle through the 200 frames, but nothing happens in the 3D window.
Please can you help me get started?
