Rigging (by Matt)





Matt has done an excellent job rigging my character in 'The Setup Machine.' Not only that but he has shown me the fundamentals of how the package works. I know feel confident that I could make a decent attempt at rigging another character using TSM. It appears that a common bug with TSM's rigs is that when the arms are pushed forward the shoulder inverts a little. Matt combated this by making me some blend shapes that i can use should I need to correct any deformation problems during animation. He has also attached some set driven keys to the eyes which make the eyes a better shape when closed. I'm really impressed with his efforts and I am glad I asked Matt to do this for me because I'm sure that i wouldn't have been able to achieve such a high standard, especially in the timescale that he has.
