Stage13: Rig Character

Part1 Modifications of the model

Before binding, I sorted out the outline view and hierarchical relationship, and then I made the body complete for better binding.

The problem I had with this part was the wiring, as there are more lines on the head and relatively few on the rest of the body. So I wired it by squeezing out a loop of wire and then connecting it, mainly using the command of append to polygon and the target weld.

It took me a long time to sort out the three sides, as I had to try to keep the four sides so that there would not be some folds when I bound them.

Make sure that the four sides of the neck are connected to the body.

Then I found that my eyebrows were too low, which means I didn’t leave enough space and lines for the extrusion of my eyebrows. So I readjusted the pentagonal point to ensure its position in the middle of the eyebrows.

After completing the model I found that there was a lot of modeling overkill in showing the clothes so I started modifying the body model again. The points I wanted to highlight were: the belly which was not fully covered by the dress, the part of the buttocks which was exposed between the dress and the trousers, the hunchback, the thicker neck and the thicker back.

Part2 Character rig

Then I organized the outline view and the naming so that it is more conducive to do the steps of binding and look clearer and clearer.

After the skeleton has been positioned on the body for the first time there are actually still some problems, but they can still be modified subsequently without looking at it so closely before the binding is done. During the creation of the editor it is likely that problems will be found so it is always necessary to rebuild. The Toggle Fit/ADV command allows you to revert back to half the skeleton, then reposition it and rebuild Advanced Skeleton.
