Looking at Other Rigs - Continued

I have collected a number of rigs to look at. Some of which I have used to animate and some just to see how they function. I will list some of these rigs here and some of their identifying features.

Andy Rig

• Can switch gender and clothes via attributes.
• Limbs can be stretched
• Facial controls that more than one aspect of an object, i.e...
• mouth slider can control shape of mouth and jaw rotation
• brow slider can control elevation of eyebrows but sliding to the left or right controls which eyebrow is affected more
• Ability to control where elbow/knee controls are parented to (either part of the rig or the world)

Sam Rig

• "Breathing" attribute that deforms chest
• Help toggle that displays text around some controls explaining how they work
• FK controls have hidden nodes to help prevent gimble lock
• Facial UI looks like a face, moving the controls also deforms the control's shape
• Eye aimer control can be locked to world, moving eyes also moves eyelids and parts of the face

Eleven Rig

• Multiple attributes allowing you to change the default shape, size, gender and proportions of the character model.
• Facial controls placed directly on the face
• Squash and stretch options for limbs
• Scaling options on many limbs (a tiny head is amusing to me)
