I am test rigging a bat, and am trying to keep the wing membranes and wing limbs as separate objects
Has anyone ever rigged multiple parts to a character before? If I combine them and give their verts influence from the same joint will this be pretty effective? If anyone knows a tutorial that covers this could they lemme know ? Thanks a lot its appreciated.
It’s your choice; whether you choose a single geo or pieces. At the end you will have to work extra bit to correct the skinning for the pieces, and often pose an issue while rendering. Here is a link to a demo on wing setup : http://www.vimeo.com/16025980
What kind of rendering issues?
I’ve never rigged a multi-piece character. thanks again
edit: do you know any multi-piece rigging tutorials?
kronique, some issues that might come up are geometry intersection; which results in bad render. sometimes the seam between two pieces can create dark edge in certain render passes & channels!
rapsalands, you might wanna look at this … did this for a little project!
Also, in my student’s reel you can find a bird rig demo with dynamics!
