Scripting and Rigging Reel 2012

#1

Hi there!

   For quite a while I've wanted to put together some sort of rigging + scripting reel - finally found time. Reel consists mostly of character related scripts + rigs and little bit of vehicles too.

   Extended version is for those interested, IMO it's nice to see how scripts work compared to just showing the end result. All scripts were written in MaxScript. I've done some scripting over the years, but never as full-time job. Reel consists only of my personal R&D - NO commercial work. I've tried recently learn more "programmer like" approach to scripting.
   
   Contents:
   Morph and Texture Tools: Part of these are something I've used at some point, personal favorite is texture map blending script.

Vehicle Rigging: First vehicle rig or rigger I’ve done. I first built concept rigs then turned the best one into automatic rigging script.

   Auto Rigging / Character Rig: It's mostly R&D definitely not ready for production use neither original, but I'm quite happy with it, as it was quite a lot of work. It's built around modules, each part uses shared functions and structs and I tried to be as modular as I could.

Scripts left out: Some tools like “real-time camera switcher” and various other smaller tools which I made were left out, mostly due to time constraints and video length.

   Thanks!
   
   P.S.
   And big thanks to certain individuals for comments and previewing of the video!

Great job!
You’ve got something there!
My opinion is, a little better presentation would be nice.
Instead of showing the full screen with all the features you have, show it one by one follow by the animation would be nice. Because I have to pause every time you tried to explain how things’s doing.

Just an idea :bowdown:

nuternativ: Noted! In the future, I’ll definitely plan whole screen capture + editing thing much more carefully.

Duncs, Eek, Boucha - Thanks! Sorry for late reply.

metamesh: currently I don’t have time to make UIs for rigging part - it’s mostly “command line” style creation of rig parts for all components… so it wouldn’t be nice to use :slight_smile:
