Shoulder rig tips
-
iwkya 61 posts29 Oct 2009Hi,
Ok so im having some issues with rigging shoulders with skin. I know that its all in the geometry, but I have a cartoon type char that is very very simple. I have gone back to the model before rigging and added more geometry via loops at the shoulder and all other joins (never have a problem with others). I just always seem to have a problem with shoulders. After going through some weights its looks ok folding down but then in another position it looks bad. GrR. When I look for tutorials or help online, all i seem to get is that shoulder joint max file, which would be great apart from its soo slow to animate
..
So, if anyone has ANY tips no matter how small, I could really use it hehe. Thanks. -
03 Nov 2009Make another bone larger than the upper arm bone and delete the tip, align this with your upper arm bone and link it to it.
You now have the upper arm bone controling up and down and the new bone with some control over rotation.
There is a great bend rig on scriptspot which completely solves the shoulder problem, check it out.

iwkya 61 posts06 Nov 2009Hi and thanks for the reply, i will certainly give this bone method a try.
The script you referred to i have problems with in that it is very slow and jerky to animate, even on the best of computers so animation with it is kinda frustrating.
