how to rig trowser straps

[ashishdantu]

hiii,

i think a gud solution wud be to rig these straps with a ribbon spine based rig as it gives you spline Ik type stretch and pose ability + allows u to stretch and squash.

this might help u > ribbon rig mel (http://www.highend3d.com/maya/downloads/mel_scripts/character/Ribbon-rig-5030.html)

Also, for straps closer to the body, make sure there are cuts in the geometry matching the body beneath..... if not, the weighting will not match and the straps will pass through the body.

all good on that front, just had little clue on how to get a good control rig for it, still think it might be tricky to pull off coz what i'm making is in a street/urban art style which makes it harder than normal to pull off, if it was realistic i'd have simed it then had control clusters to tidy it up or something like that, but this is a pain in the arse. and my job is normally just the animation bit so i'm raking my brains to remember rigging and stuffs.


thanks for ya help:thumbsup: , i'm gonna try the ribbon spline see if thats cool if not i'm prolly gonna kill myself...nah i'll just go the old school root of transforming bones, takes ages but hay its supposed to look 2d ish so i'll prolly animate on twos to help it feel that way so bones might not kill me so much...:scream:
