Blend Swap | Advanced Hand Rig V0.1

You must be logged in to download.

Hey guys

This is version 0.1 of my hand rig.

The goal is to have an easier to use hand rig for picking up objects

Why?

cause I suck at animating, and can never get those fingers to work right

This is experimental only, Feel free to use, edit and re-post

I do appreciate being credited for my work, but this is not required

Bones:

most of the bones function as normal, however there is a few extra bones.

All the bones you move are on layer 1, all extra bones on layer 2

palm.04.L -> moves a lot of bones, works to 'cup' the hand

roll.*.L -> these bones control the finger curl

curl.fix.*.L -> these bones help to clasp the fingers a little tighter

ik.*.L -> these bones give finer control over the fingers, effectively 'pointing' the fingers

shrinkwrap.L -> controls how much the fingers are attracted to the object specified in the constraints of the ik bones

In the future I will add features for using physics rather than shrinkwrap

Also want to add a panel to control it, as well as a script to build it into the current rigify generator.

Let me know if you have any suggestions on my facebook page facebook.com/cgtutorials/ or my website www.metalix.co.nz

Enjoy the rig :D
