Automess

Hi all,

i added two new features to the Rig: an On-Screen selection GUI and a Spherical-mode for the arms.

I also made a new video covering the new features and the modularity of the rig.

Hi All,

i am releasing my current blender rig that i have been working on for a while. Feel free to try it out. I prepared two videos. The first one shows you the current features and functionality of the rig. It does not have any audio track. The second one is a quick introduction to blender for animation people who are totally new to the program and want to try it out. I go over the most important hotkeys and animation-relevant features to get you started.

In order to use the rig you need to have python installed.

The rig is still under progress and i will keep updating it. I also plan to create more videos about the rigging and scripting techniques i used. And i might create a script to reuse/transfer the rig to your new characters.

The facials are not finished yet and there are some other known issues. Look at the text inside the blender file for that info.

I want to thank all blender developers for creating such a great software and sharing it with everybody. I love it. And i want to give something back in return.

Some additional notes:

If you want to download the onion skinning script, go to this thread of blenderartists forums.

The script to scrub through your animation with a tablet pen can be downloaded here.
