• Facial Gestures: Create a library of facial gestures that will add expression and emotion to your character.
• Weighting & Deformations: Achieve excellent deformations with minimal effort by properly weighing your character, avoiding the need for complex plugins.
• Switching Modes: Configure the switch from IK to FK (Inverse Kinematics to Forward Kinematics) to enable a wide range of movements and actions for the arms and legs.
• Advanced Controls: Design controls that are intuitive and make it easy to manipulate every part of your character's body and facial features.
• Automation Techniques: Learn to automate parts of your rigging process, saving time and increasing consistency across multiple characters.
• Optimization: Test and optimize your rig for fluid motion and minimal artifacts, ensuring it is ready for animation. 🎬
