 Welcome back to the Rig Review and today I want to take a look at the Leo Rig. You can find it here and you can see some really nice animation tests already and as you go forward you can see it has really nice textures for cool render, your post test and there's not the animation test but you can see it comes with a picker and also a library. I like it that it has the studio library and all those other options it's already very promising so check it out make sure to check out the Twitter account as well you get some tips and tricks here's one regarding RGB masks for the lighting and rendering these are Arnold textures and as you can see here it is 20% off right now so grab it while you can before it comes out and it is at the full price. I will of course also add it to my animation buffet site where you can see a bunch of other rigs that I have either added as a collection or reviewed back to the rig here it is in its full glory you have to make sure the textures are set up you can go to general editors and you can do a file path editor you also do it manually if you want but make sure that that is selected so that the textures work I have anti aliasing on here so it's nice and crisp these are all the controllers there now starting off with the big one here there's nothing in the channels but it is there to move around and you have a smaller one which I always love because then you can bring it down to around here and now you have a different pivot just in case you want this character to fly around like Superman and this is your pivot point here just pointing that out I like it now if you do select the small one you can see couple options here a got the geotype for norm temp and ref bend controls have them on or ready second and controls on and off of course you have cloth on and on so I can set this to zero and here is the character without the cloth you can see that proxy is on you can see how it's divided here you can also say proxy off so I'm going to leave that out off actually and go back to cloth on and there we go let's start with the feet as always I don't know why but that's what I do you got this here so you got your controls go back here you can move them around if you rotate you can see the knee follows so you have all of that and you have auto stretch already enabled here now you can see this here stretch on off so that would turn it off you have your squash let's go back here so if you do so if you bring up the leg like this let's put on squash and you can see what's what happens here you have save volume zero so if we do for instance a pull and you do save volume here you can see how it changes just kind of funny looking soft ik length one and two this is for all that separation that's for the separate ones here of course you have the roll weight let's go back here so if you go back to the foot here you have the roll and you also have the roll weight that you can change here but you have the classic foot roll from and back which is neat here you got your side roll the banking as some rigs call it also neat always good then you have a tip pivot so that is from somewhat kind of the middle but you also have a toes pivot like that and you have the space here of course that you can change if you go into these controllers here you can rotate this up and down like that there's no other control can you scale you cannot can you scale the foot control you can kind of messes up the shoe a little bit so watch out there's not a huge amount of remodel flexibility but not all the rigs have that anyway now I have all those bendies on here so you can see this here you can move this around which is really cool but that gives you kind of the ankle squashy control feel which is cool now no scale on this one either that is that for the feet now bendy you can already see here you have the small amount that you can move here it's very detailed or the bigger one here which is really neat all very classic stuff up here this goes all the way up to the arms so bring this out here spoilers we're checking out arms already you got this or you got the big one if you want let's go back though because here we have knees so if you take the foot bring it up bring it down rotate it that's how the knee will follow you can also take the pull vector here and do that what it also has is the snap yeah yeah because I love this that's so great also on the arms let's get back to that later let's move up here and then we have the hips you can rotate them like this scaling a little bit like that you also have this here which takes out a little hip bendy you have the bigger one as always you can move out it's almost like the like a hip clavicle that you can move out like this this is another spine control that you can move like this and then here with that little flag it changes from fk to ik so you can see here this is the change for the legs you can select this controller here and it does the classic fk and so on this is of course on both sides now we select the root and then we have root control like this we can scale it like that you have gimbal on and off you have chest inflate you can see here for the breathing that's cooler like this and you have belly like that you can do both and you have this that's cool i like moving up here this is your chest control like that you can also rotate like this same thing here this is for your more fine-tuned deformation can you scale yes you can and this one you can't all right so there's some some differences in terms of scaling options but again you can continue you can rotate and you can also translate if you want here's the bigger chest control so you have it like that which means that you would rotate and translate forward for this you can scale just this section it also has a pivot change so if i take this and do that and then i change the pivot you can see how it changes where this is pivoting that's cool as the name says here i'm stating the very obvious here now let's go up you have that here in terms of your clavicle that's cool can you scale yes you can and i am set in fk so if you take that arm you move it like that let me just double check there you go you can do like this but you can also break the arm in all axes and also translate a bunch of stuff there which is cool and i'll show you this already because your bimbos in the fine control and bigger controls then here you got your flag like fk i'm gonna switch this over and then you get into your classic fk mode which again just bring it back as i said before you can select the controller here to do this and also have snap which is great and i'll love it let's check out the controls here so here you have stretch so if i grab this you can also turn this off of course you have the save volume yes or no you have the length for both you have too much here and the undo you have to squash you have to roll weight roll and here's a very cool feature if you grab the hand clumsily like i do here and let's say it's on a table you have a roll i like this a lot that's very cool you also have a side roll and a pivot and a pivot and even though it says toes pivot it's not for toes but it's cool i like this of course you have the space switching as well but that hand roll i think it's really neat now something that also has an i k fk switch i'm gonna blend in a movie that was included in the rig we have the left fk ik the right fk ik as well as the left and right foot but you know as you can see if you grab this switch it to one it doesn't exactly snap to it so something really cool if you hold down right click you have fk ik snapping which you can see if i do this it then snaps it to ik and or fk and you can also mirror so if i move this up here i can right click mirror there you go really super easy super cool tool same works with the feed now if you don't want to do this on the picker there is another option that you have to be able to do fk ik snapping and it has to do with the menu mail script that you get in your folder all you have to do is drag and drop this into your myosin i saved it up here as a shelf just in case it doesn't load in automatically and then what that gives you is it gives you the ability to hold down right click and you have fk ik's mirror and flip and it works just like the picker even better so right there boom snap to ik boom snap to fk perfect tool works with the right hand another cool thing is that it also works with your layout control so i can hold down and i can race reset my pose to a t-pose so there you go he's reset to a t-pose i can also mirror my pose so that's just a quick tutorial on how to get these super cool super powerful scripts in your scene just takes dragging and dropping into myo thanks so and as you saw that i did the menu import and you can right click on this here you can see fk fk mirror and flip like they said here which is really cool so let's pretend i do some crazy what is this well i know let's keep it let's keep this and go crazy and i do this whatever i break the rig and whatever it is right i can right click on this control and say reset bam resets the pose i like this a lot that's very cool let's go up to the head you got this control where you can move it like this you can rotate can you scale yes you can you also have a left neck and right neck tension not many rigs have this and i love it that's really great looks like i'm back into proxy hold on so reset proxy off there you go so that's really cool i wish everybody had that and you got global on off you also have this here which is really neat this is your apple control so if you want to control adam's apple here you can also probably use it for a little bit of swallowing but that's cool i like this anything where you can deform and kind of change things in terms of your setup i think that's really great you have also your bendy options through there and as you can see here even with the small ones you can adjust some stuff here can you scale you cannot scale this one can you scale the big one yes you can't whoa i swallowed something let's go to the bigger controls of the head first so you got your head here so you can rotate you can of course translate gible control up here rotate order and you can also scale if you want it to for a little funko pop or bobble head let's go to the ears you have that ear control there's nothing on ear lobes it's one bigger ish control but you can also scale if you want this control is not just on the side it's actually this whole thing here so you can grab this and you can do your line of action for the head and some squashing and stretching whoa that's a different rig right there like an alien but that's cool i'll like it if you have other control you have this yellow one i can select here you can grab this and you can see that it takes the bigger part of the upper head you can also rotate can you scale oh yes you can there's this control out here this is your squash control like that then you have this control here which is not for the jaw this grabs the whole thing and you can see what it does you can do this you can also scale and you can also rotate again for some different line of action stuff this is cool here grab this one and you have a this is neat really like this look at how much de-forms here yeah very cool big fan of this one other than that in terms of bigger head controls that is that so let's go to the eyes so you got your classic looking right you can see the eyelids are falling which is neat you have a parrot option yes or no and you also have just separate eye control here which also gives you pupil and iris size let's go to the bigger controls of the nose here you can move around like that you could of course translate it around can you scale yes you can and then you have a smaller control here for the nose tip you also have nostrils this is not with the shape you can just translate but you have an extra tiny one here to do this there's a bunch of stuff here so as you get closer you can see all the little extra details you can have on the lip here this is a bigger move for the whole mouth control this is a smaller one grab this you can see how much it deforms also the top and the cheeks compared to this that is separate that's neat this will be your jaw control so let's open that you also translate this for an opening can you scale yes you can let's open that a little bit here and then you can see you got your mouth corner controls like that also gives you a zip you can see this here which you can have an extra option here grab the chin you can see here the zip control here as well so if I take this and I zip it just a little bit go back to the jaw and you can change it here in terms of the open down lots of fine tuning that's cool let's get even closer so what do we have here this is from the lower lip okay deforms that we have this one that has just this look at this we got that tiny one for this corner we have this one another bigger issue the same thing here right you got bigger controllers and the extra fine tuning which is really cool let me just quickly open this even more and double check what is going on here on the teeth anything here I see something back here yes so you have your fine tuning of teeth right there and if I actually keep this on you can see this here putting this down so you can move the whole thing very cool and you also have tongue controls so you have your rotates and what is this kind of middle here oh what is that what is changing is that neck oh that's the back of the throat look at that there's a bunch of stuff you can do here very cool see here all the controls for the tongue you have cheek controls over like that you got that little one out here you have a kind of an upper cheeky thing here for your smile that's great then we're getting to more controls here fine tuning controls here then we're getting to the eyes and the lids and all of that look at that that's really cool here you have your lid like this you have a tiny lid change as well so if your eyeball is here you can grab this and kind of give it that rotation over there you can see how much it follows selecting this on the right you have your lash up and down interesting and the lash size and here as well and the depth as well that's interesting that's a new one I haven't seen that before that's cool this is for your lower lid and same thing here depth and what's this one that's the bigger bigger shape here super detailed on the eyes I love it eyebrows this must be the bigger one yeah that moves everything it's actually locked to just up and rotate let me see okay you wrote it like this oh interesting with the pivot so that the outer ones are not moving that's cool kind of like that too you have this and you got the tiny one as well as a bunch of controls let me just check the channels nothing there nothing there okay that's cool you have this here to change any type of deformation so if I go in for a furrow you can do changes here that's cool yeah I like it then we have a bunch of hair controls let me just double check okay so this is mostly in the front and let me see all right so that's your fk hair like that I'm grabbing anything will they nearly here that's your unicorn the last unicorn can you hold on let's go back take this and do norm and this okay separate pieces of geometry if I go one up and hide all right I chose you this just in case you are you know I wonder if that could be interesting texture change too this is for you to paint on your own if you want that character be bald do not have that but yeah that's cool to see you kind of need to to have controls this is the next section huh yeah I think if you have already that many controls in the front of you kind of need to control maybe the back a little bit since they are coming out it'd be kind of cool too and overall let's go to the fingers just quick since I just remembered I didn't go through that so this is your fk and then you have your wrist bends so you can rotate that out of course you have these guys to rotate of course you can select them like that and do your rotation of fingers like that of course let me double check what is this one doing this one has rotation or nothing in there but it does the base there more for the back and same thing for the thumb of course you can move these can you translate yes you can and like I said before the flag we can change to ik to fk so again if I change this you have those additional controllers which are really cool I really like that hand roll because the new one actually can you scale let me just double check yes you can you can make those fingers really long if you want to lots of modifications and again I did a bunch of stuff here you can do a right click reset and it's back to reset probably in proxy mode yes proxy on yeah very cool very cool rig I'm a big fan now as someone has asked me if I grab this guy let's try something here all right I did the world's worst jump but you can see here on the lower right the fps stays at 24 someone asked me to do a little bit of movement and that's it that's all I'm going to do but I like this idea I just want to make sure that I can do rig reviews and not spend a huge amount of time because you know the moment I start with something it's going to get very time consuming where I start doing silly silly things silly things where I don't want to stop right away so maybe we do something like that like that spline this for some offset it's not so super crappy yeah but it seems fairly fast I mean that's all that it roots and I did defeat so if I go like that and maybe I change this and you can see this offscreen I'm splining everything horribly go out into like that and maybe I'm already doing this into that into that and the lens will be here down with a stronger down and then really poppy up and then forward I don't that gives me spline everything I live out any I haven't even used the graph editor okay let's move it forward so horrible it's almost like shame kicks in and I can't I can't just leave it set another key over there so if I do this here and I set a key here and maybe the character wants to go forward okay interesting and then goes up into a bit of a stretch into that and then here I'm really stretching into this and then oh squashes get some deformation in there and then here to back to zero the world's most horrible jump actually do this here okay it does something I'm really not looking for animation quality here but I'm going to go what if I use both neck controllers can I do this yes okay so I'm going to add some more so I go down here maybe the character wants to look down first into this and then wants to look up into really checking where things are and then at this point looks down though into this boom and then you got that compression with a little bit of overlap and there's not enough frames let's spline this you can see this I'm just randomly setting keys and splining things right right drawing drawing drawing it's so bad I love it hold on I can't stop if you're watching this here's your real-time crappy animation let me just test one more thing oh that's cool sometimes when you select both controllers and they go up and down they are offset like one goes up one goes down so that's actually really cool to see big fan of that I'm not moving the shoulders just yet actually if I look at this it does not have autoclavical does it have here something in there no that'd be cool to add to I'm a big fan of autoclavicals as well as with a an option to change it of course on off and in the percentage and everything so if I go back here and I go show and at this point it's really wanting to go forward let me see it's good rotation forward too and then does this I should probably rotate out at this point I'll do that later lens what should I do it goes up and at this point would it go back down to the side let me try it and then goes forward with a swing and then back to this it's absolutely horrendous maybe that should be a new thing how to do horrendous animation forward and then as it goes here let me see what that rotation does huh it goes out like that that's cool yeah I like that a lot let's go out to this maybe on that and goes out and then out like that and then back down this is so horrendous at this point everybody has stopped watching let me see oh it's so bad I love it so bad oh let me go back here reselect my arms it's this that I can't I can't I can't abide by this what if I do something more like that goes out to gimbal great how about this here it's not even splined spline this whole thing and then do curve you'll filter let me see how about that okay on this I want a bigger one like why am I even animating this this is a review but listen people wanted to see how this works in terms of speeds no let me not extend the frames this is horrendous here I'm at 37 by the way just in case you want to see this here there you go but look at the fps it's holding steady fairly 24 big fan already a big fan I mean not a fan of my animation though but let's see here curbs off nerfs curbs off you can rotate around you can see what the rig is doing the non offset that one-axis aspect of my legs is really bugging me anyway yeah it's nice I really like this I think next time we do this as well I'm not going to record the actual animation I'm just gonna animate something crappy and then unhits or hits the pause or unhit pause just go back to recording I guess I think that's very cool I'm a big big fan of this rig so let's go back and just do a pose for my thumbnail so during this pose there are a couple of things I noticed here so this one just to go back to this if you do this it gives you also this redding there and one thing I did not mention here you have these here where you can rotate all of this and then you have this one that translates all of this because I was wondering wait a minute these are like automated thing for blink but there is right you got this right there you have the blending of this and also auto lids so when you move this around it changes your deformation on the lids so basically if I take this down and I grab this here auto lids you can see the change right there so I was wondering this rig is already so detailed that's weird that that's not in there it's totally there so you can also scale if you want you can change that absolutely so that's a big thing I missed just making sure that everybody sees that that is there so yeah that's it for my character I have this in this pose if I hit play it would jump watch this and jump yeah I switched it to a IK that's why this is happening anyway it's cool I like it it's a really cool rig big fan I love that the speed is still there and I'll leave it at that yeah thanks for watching and your rigs as always let me know comment email me any concerns questions anything like that and check out the rig on all the sites that have in the description the links are all there and that is it thank you for watching and until next time
