Alright, so I am taking a break from my landscaping to give a quick update.
So I started building a leg rig, and right away, I knew I couldn't use everything from my arm rig, due to the direction it was built, etc. etc. But it gave me a great starting point. Also, while building the leg I found a lot of problems that I never noticed in the arm, so it gave me a chance to test out all aspects of the rig. But aside from fixing bugs, I also added some new features, some of which wound up in my old arm rig. The biggest one being volume control for the squash and stretch to give more control over how the volume changes when the joint chain squashes or stretches.
My tidbit of advice for this blog? Don't try to make the most complicated thing all in one pass. You will almost always fail and get frustrated. Chew off bits at a time, get one thing working properly, test it. Start adding more features to that. And just keep layering. If you do it this way, you will have more luck and more fun with it.
