LogInEdward Ureña's new tool is coming to Rig Creator.
Using his own 3D model of Marshall Cuzo from Common Side Effects, 3D Artist Edward Ureña demonstrated his powerful new tool based on curvenet animation controls, inspired by Pixar's work on Elemental.
Building on curvenet rigging technology, this method introduces surface-aligned manipulators that are automatically placed at each curvenet knot. This makes it easy to control surface deformations with minimal setup and maximum precision. You can learn more about Pixar's approach here, and check out Edward's other demo showing this deformer in action:
This tool is expected to be integrated into Rig Creator, Edward's Blender add-on designed for building base rigs for a variety of characters, including facial rigs. You can purchase this Marshall Cuso rig here and check out some of the latest Rig Creator updates below:
