@RedfillProd @infinitisirrena @Saihtamen Yeah good way of putting it. They don't influence each other, but they are setup in parallel to each other, so they act the same, minus the extra thing you need.

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@infinitisirrena I didn't even look closely at your network yet sorry, but maybe you'll need to have a secondary chain to carry the mid control.

(I like Control Rig in UE a lot because it's easy to make layered stuff without running into cycles, since it is more linear instead of a DAG.)

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@marinwaves @JaschaWoh @mGear_Framework Mostly yeah. There are times when you want to parent or connect to custom nodes or bones in a component, and occasionally it requires a post Python script, or cloning the component to a custom version.

A game I rigged on releases tomorrow! Sci-fi western roguelike with awesome music. I got to try an advance copy in VR this weekend and it's FUN!

Just ONE DAY TO GO until the Foglands launches! We can barely contain ourselves! Thanks for coming along with us on this journey - we can't wait for you to play tomorrow! 🌫️ 💜

recorded a short video on how you can use cloth sim in #UE not for cloth! (yes I love using stuff in ways it's not meant to)

@_Djangotron @Saihtamen Oh yeah, the way I see it is that it's just chopping off the decimal, rather than doing any math, per se.

While Twitter is up, if you have followed us for some time and learned something or benefited from following us, can you let us know with a heart and a retweet?

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@SarahMackAttack hell. yes. Just bought it! Transcendent sea literature is my genre.

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@riggingNin Nice work!! The random tree part seemed to get cut off, or were you just showing the code?

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@SadlyItsBradley Synth Riders (pretty saber-like). I really liked Supernatural for a while, but it got old after a few months. (Also pretty saber-like... huh.)

@NielsRoscher Hey Niels, no I don’t know sorry. It isn’t a drawing tool. Plenty of people asking about that though.

[Kiaran Ritchie @kiaran_ritchie]

Your daily reminder: because Control Rig is integrated into a game engine, you can drive controls with realtime inputs instead of keyframes.

Learn to puppeteer with gamepads, mouse, keyboard or VR controllers and add responsive physics, or even Niagra VFX.

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@caitcadieux Same!! Side note: I always liked how in "End of Eternity" Isaac Asimov called it the 20.23rd Centicentury (2023). The novel traverses large spans of time.

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@charliewdesign @caitcadieux I guess it doesn't matter what they called it. We could call it that and it would solve the problem

[mGear Framework @mGear_Framework]

The Rigging Buddies Podcast is back for 2023!
In Episode 43, we discuss the Contour rig with Raf Anzovin. Please enjoy our conversation!

@tferriss @remarkablepaper @Procreate Yes I do. The pencil is nice and the brush feels like doodling with a sharpie marker. And now with infinite scroll it’s great to not run out of room. Then send to a computer or Procreate to finish. (But lately I’ve been swinging back to using a brush pen in a real sketchbook.)

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@khemaridh You have a backup copy, right??

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@marinwaves @duncan_rudd @infinitisirrena haha yeah I hope Rio rigs had a few extras. This was an ad, done in a few days, on top of a turbosquid asset. lol

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@duncan_rudd @infinitisirrena If client says "we changed a few of the feathers" -> Pain.

[Chris Lesage @chrislesage]

@duncan_rudd @infinitisirrena My cheap Maya way: Big nurbs plane in a lattice, pin a joint per feather. A nurbs strip along edge of wing skins a nice arc for the lattice. Local rots per feather to fix any clipping. Smooth and quick, but def not procedural or powerful! (Final result is only skinCluster.)
