This page is unfinished. Can you fill in any missing information? |
- Purposes of this page
- easy-to-understand documentation
- making a rigged character
We probably have to understand the different bones, effectors and their properties before we can build a well-rigged character.

First experiments
Schematic |
HERE's some vbs code to build a rigged character.
My personal knowledge in this subject is very limited, that's why the rig doesn't behave yet as it should.
Atm, you are supposed to move only the effectors. (Zoom into the Schematic to see what's an effector and what's a root or bone.)
Constructive criticism is welcome.

How to use the script?
- You need a non-animated character (http://paradox.oni2.net/OniGalore/automatic_rigging_test_files.zip, dead link) first.
- If you have an animated one, right-click the pelvis, then save the model with the settings "Selection Only [X]" and "Animation [ ]"
- Load the non-animated character into Mod Tool.
- Open the Script Editor (Alt + 4).
- Run the code (F5).
How to save progress?'
- There's a bug in collada, so don't save as *.dae file.
- Save your progress as *.xsi, in the export setting choose "Preserve IK Chains [X]".
- When you no longer need IK then you could use the collada formate...
