@Clenchedboot 4 года назад

This is great! I did have one question you may be able to help out with: after rigging with Bendy Limbs and adding a walk cycle, the arms remain stiff and stretched out downwards. They swing, but they do not bend at all. I've tried trouble shooting the rigging and some of the arm controls, but I cannot seem to find a solution. Do you have any ideas on what I may be doing incorrectly? Thanks

do you have enough subdivisions for your arms to bend? i also cover how to fix this in the tutorial!

I wouldn’t go that route as you don’t actually save that much time vs traditional rigging. You’d need to make vertex maps to limit each FFD so again that’s more like traditional weighting

Fingers is really complicated and not feasible for this rig, but we will add preset hands and arms that are pre-rigged. It's best to go the traditional route for fingers because its so many bones in such a small area.
