Bringing Fred to life.
Hi there.
Has anyone else tried to rig, weight and animate Fred? (The Human mesh figure that comes with the software)Im having real problems getting OK results, especially in the weighting stage. I think its fundamentally because A)too many polygons and B)that hes not in a T pose or C) my skills and patience aren’t up to it.
Has anyone got any tips?
Thanks in advance

Yeah, Fred isn’t an ideal character to rig/animate for the reasons mentioned. If you are new to character animation I would start with something much simpler. If you want to go ahead with Fred I’d suggest rigging the arms just enough to get them into more of a T-Pose, then do a current-state-to-object, fix any deformation problems, and then start again. Otherwise it’s going to be quite difficult to manage the shoulder area.
