JUICE BOX (RIGGING TECHNIQUES)

Hello everyone, 

This is my second assignment in Rigging techniques, in this assignment we were asked to rig a juice box with different deformers, which helps the box to bend, squash, stretch &  twist. 

Four iconic curves has been created for the rig control :

1. Deform control 

2. Sip control 

 3. Transformation control 

4. COG control 

Deformer control is the main control of the juice box which operates the deformers (Bend, Twist, Stretch & Squash) all the deformer attributes is connected to the respective curve by using Driven key & Node editor. 

Sip control is connected by 2 new attributes & its attached to the Straw for the Sip action & Sip Size, which is affected by the Sculpt Deformer. 

Clean up the Outliner with proper grouping & hide the unwanted attributes. 

Here is the rig test of JUICE BOX

BOUNCING BALL (RIGGING TECHNIQUES)

Hello everyone,

 This is my first assignment in Rigging techniques. In this subject we need to take a model and we should rig that model, which helps the animators to animate it. 

In this Assignment we were asked to do a rig of bouncing ball, the basic polygon sphere is taken so it can be animated with stretch & squash. Various methods are there to create the rig. I used the very basic procedure of using a "Squash Deformer". 

So here we need to create three curves as rigging controls. 

Those curves are called as:

1. Stretch & Squash control 

2. Transformation control

3. Center of gravity (COG) Control 

By creating a new attribute for Stretch & Squash curve we can connect the squash deformer by using Node editor. Which help's the respected curve to control the Stretch & Squash. 

Parent & Scale constrain the Transformation & COG curve with the respective group. Lock & hide the unwanted attributes.
