Free simple animation rig

[RozmarnaNutrie]

Hi bcairns :wavey:

It looks fine but I have few comments...

- I would say that model has too much polys(13 733 faces) - to slow, especially for me :)
- "loc_knee_L" does not function
- layers > I would rather use rigid bind instead parenting(foots). Because when I uncheck "joints" layer foots disappear. And some layers like "ik_handles" are empty. I think that most animators do not need to many layers like joints, ik handles, deformers blabla. I think that geometry layer, donttouch layer is sufficient in numbers for this case. Sure, thats details :shrug:

Anyway it is good work and thanks for sharing. I like it. :thumbsup: I will try some test leter.

Thanks for the comments.

Okay, I reduced the polycount, I think it's just over 1500 polys now. I fixed the left knee locator, and you can now hide the joints without the feet disappearing :). I reduced the number of layers, but still kept some, like joints, rig, etc. That's just the way I like to have my scene, hehe.

There's also a small test animation on my website if anyone would like to see it :).

I have seen a model similar to your rig, and looks better, so I think yours seem need to be modified further more..
