This tutorial shows you how to create the [http://mods.oni2.net/node/388 animation rig for Blender] (made by geyser), with some improvements. | This tutorial shows you how to create the [http://mods.oni2.net/node/388 animation rig for Blender] (made by geyser) from scratch, with some improvements. | ||
The purpose of this rig is to give us much better tools to animate, compared to our [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=23698#p23698 previous process in Softimage XSI] by EdT, which allowed us to animate exclusively with Forward Kinematics. While FK may work for simple, short animations done on characters with a small amount of bones, it does not work well for Oni characters and animations, as it's too labor-intensive and inefficient. | The purpose of this rig is to give us much better tools to animate, compared to our [http://oni.bungie.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=23698#p23698 previous process in Softimage XSI] by EdT, which allowed us to animate exclusively with Forward Kinematics.
