Rigging
With full controllers created manually with Blender armature system, postures and animations are easier to create. Features are as follows:
- Root controls the whole character.
- CTR_gravity controls the center of the gravity of the body with customized attributes.
- CTR_head controls the movement of the head and the stretch of the neck.
- CTR_mouth_D controls mouth opening.
- CTR_eye_b controls the rotation of the eyes.
- FK_belly controls breath animation on the belly.
- CTR_FK_Tail_a, CTR_FK_Tail_b, and CTR_FK_Tail_c control the rotation of the tail.
- CTR_IK_foot.L and CTR_IK_foot.R are the controllers of IK chain on the legs.
- IKFK_leg.L and IKFK_leg.R switch the IK/FK of the legs by the customized attributes, which is non-seamless.
- IKFK_neck switches the IK/FK of the neck, which is non-seamless.
- CTR_foldwing.L and CTR_foldwing.R control the wings opening and closing.
- Each toe has a separate controller.
- Face is rigged.
- And more……
