Kevin Zheng Character Rigging Demo

[abhijeeton230389]

kevin ur reel is really very nice will plz. guide for skinning,facial rigging and MEL how can i learn Mel scripting i know the basic Mel scripting.

[spartanDJChalo]

Wow did you make this Rig or did you buy it?

[kevinzkw]

@spartanDJChalo of course I make it use maya, it's my rigging demo :)

[spartanDJChalo]

@kevinzkw

It's one amazing character would it be possible if you could send me the project directory. I would only use him for education purposes. Do you have a career in rigging or animation? Thanks 

[kevinzkw]

@spartanDJChalo caveman just my personal rigging, not share now, sorry for that.  I'm a freelance character TD now, thanks

[taddeoanimation]

@spartanDJChalo did anyone try Mixamo automatic rigging service? mixamo.com

if that supports control rigs not just skinning it would mean a huge time saving... it takes 1 min to automatically rig...

[spartanDJChalo]

@taddeoanimation

Haven't tried it unfortunately, but I think a friend of mine did. Im not too sure that it would work that easily without you having to go in and edit. I could be wrong.

[dayveeman]

Very impressive rig/tools.

I was toying with adding an auto clavicle on my next rig. If you don't mind me asking, what do you use to drive the clavicle? Upper arm rotation? Elbow or Hand position?

[amlan80]

hi kevin.. i'm amlan from india. Really liked ur reel.. I would like to know the methods of mel script which enables to open the window like u did in demo reel. I would be grateful if u help me..my email id is amlan1980@gmail.com.:)

[irevamp26]

hi kevin, i'm new to maya. will you mentor me. i want to learn rigging same as this "great". If you got tutorial dvds i would like to buy. but it should be step by step slow moving explaining the tools we are using and why (bcoz i'm a begginer).

[kevinzkw]

you can learn these tutorials:

fahrenheit digital,

Stop Straing books

[irevamp26]

@kevinzkw Thanks for the reply, I went to fahrenheit digital site. Saw those tutorial from Aron Holly but the site says "we will return shortly". Stop starring book which is in amazon you are talking about? is it for maya?

art of rigging was for ship rig.

appart from this do you have any personal website.

[kevinzkw]

Art of Rigging, and Animator Friendly Rigging

[crazyluisps2]

Thanks

[billyboy80]

[instruct9r]

Are you using MEL or custom written API nodes for the sticky Lips or it's just a setUp?

Nice reel

[kevinzkw]

@instruct9r the sticky lips just use setup

[Shisafire]

How do you make the controls for the fingers?

[kevinzkw]

@Shisafire

I make controls by mel

[Shisafire]

@kevinzkw oh, but there's the NURBS circles

[australopytekus02]

excellent 

[ramteen]

really impressive!

[Tazy50]

why are your model's vertices open?

[BrianKenny99]

@Tazy50 Its called a proxy model. Just a low res of the main model so when animators animate it the dense mesh of the main model doesn't slow down their animation playback speed.

[rajarigger]

hi,

saw your demo reel .it was awesome,can you post autorig scripts somewhere .it will be useful to all.

[sidshadow]

Superb! thanks..

[tmsx4ever]

wow what a great rig, one of the best I've seen. But I'm guessing that it wont be downloadable somewhere. I especially like all the switch controls

[owais72]

who did you Auto Create Blend shapes nd Auto Create controllers ?

[kevinzkw]

@owais72

use mel

[mfiorilli]

great reel !

[Baldoxxx4000]

rigging reels is so boring....i prefer animation, modeling reels...

[GarrettCGA]

Great stuff. I'd recommend showing your rig in a small animation test. Displaying extremes and how it looks in motion wouldn't be such a bad idea. My 2 cents.

[Biarou]

BAJALE DE DISNEYLANDIO  WEY!

Andy

[barabucha]

Hi, I starting my animation serie, how much cost a rig like that? I would like to add you on list of my collaborators.

Tell me pls a price for a full character rig and we will discuss about that! Many thanx!

[jamil1985]

Hey! Excellent demo, where did u get the character GUI V1.0? I really like to have a GUI i like yours, would make my life a lot easier.

Jay

[kevinzkw]

thanks, the GUI is maked by mel, not plugin.

[jamil1985]

Did u make it with mel? Is this mel downloadble from anywhere? If not any ideas where i can learn how to make it? Because i like the 'Select all' button and the image.

Thanks.

[kevinzkw]

yeah, I maked it using mel, you can make it too, just use mel.

[jamil1985]

Hey! Thanks for the reply, i found a MEL GUI in highend3D its very good, so i dont have to make it. Thanks for ur help.

Jay

[yobani1989]

[kevinzkw]

@jamil1985

I make it by mel.

[kevinzkw]

用到的面板是mel写的，还有那些绑定工具也都是mel

[tmacsky1988]

太强了！！您是怎么做到的啊！我的maya好像没有这种功能，是­插件吗？原谅我啊！我是菜鸟。

[Polyoptics]

Crazy good, must have taken quite some time. Amazing work!!!!!

[kevinzkw]

thanks

[chindian123]

Wow dude... that's an awesome automated setup!! Great job!

I still have to develop something like that for myself... i haven't as yet automated the blendshape/face controls setup like you have...

Best of luck to you!
