easy rigging for still pictures: do you do it too?

[jeb]

if you ¡want to pose characters its better to do a simple rig than to model the pose. so yeah... lots of pople do that, saves time if you are only doing stills.

I do lots of stills too, but i like having my characters with some rig that will let me play with them later ;)

I was recently experimenting with rigs that do not require weight painting. It's good if you have to do some changes to the model.

but you do it in maya right...i believe maya has some very friendly skin

[azazel]

It's friendly enough, only painting weights takes a lot of time. It sometimes is faster to add few more bones in right places and don't worry too much about weights.

It's been a while since I used Max, but I remember envelopes... :hmm:

what do you have against envelopes, eh?:shrug: i dont rigging in maya once and it was pretty good. then i tried max and i hated it. but once i found out about envelopes...:bounce:
