So here goes, I am working on a guitar rig at present, to add to my portfolio as a ‘prop’. Partly because I think it’s an interesting test of my skills in many respects, but also just because I love guitars…
Here is the latest render (please feel free to critique that as well if that is permitted)
I digress, I am struggling with rigging the strings. I started by creating a Cubic CV curve with 4 CVs and simply controlling the middle two via the Connection Editor and a dedicated control; not the most elegant solution but it worked initially.
Now however, I am trying to keep that manual functionality whilst also experimenting with Dynamic strings that would react to say a piece of geometry (a polygonal plectrum set as a passive collider). My problem is that I cannot seem to work both functionalities into the same rig.
I hope I have explained myself sufficiently, and if anyone has any suggestions or possible solutions that I might try I would greatly appreciate it.
Regards
B.I.O.F.
