Rigging Ruby’s Hair

Posted on

New video is up for the rigging course!

In this video, we build out Ruby’s hair.

We add deformers to the bangs (learning the difference between a curve and an envelope deformer for curves), create a cutter system for the bottom puffs of her hair to blend with the main hair, and create a few templates (and clean them up) to use as we progress through the rig.

Moving forward, I decided against splitting the course in a cutout and deformed rig because to get a good version of either, I would set the rig up differently from the other. So, with the aim of having a not broken rig by the end, I’m going to make this course just one style, straight through. It kind of uses both drawing swaps and deformers…but you will see what I mean as we go.

It will still be building the rig from scratch (meaning we build templates and things we can use as we go so you learn how to build them).
