Crazy6987 Posted March 2, 2017 Posted March 2, 2017 Alright, so I have managed to create some working rigs for various creatures and animals, the rigs can be used to animate or pose these creatures/animals. Some of the rigs are a bit rough (First time rigging something) so they could definitely use some tweaking to make the bone movements better. But I can say that after some quick tests those animals/creatures did perform the animations created with the rigs. I suppose it's a starting point, I've done most of the work someone more experienced with rigging could touch things up, just make sure to share it with the rest of us. The rigs were created with 3ds Max 2015, don't know what kind of compatibility they will have with other versions of 3ds Max. Rigs Done - Cat - Dogmeat - Gorilla - Mirelurk - Radstag - YaoGuai Semi-Working Rigs - Deathclaw (Extreme Lowerbody distortion for any animation created with the rig, see .txt document in the file for more details) - Alien (Finger Distortion) Not Working at all - Mirelurk Queen (MAXScript Rig Connector error, Rig is not connected to the Skeleton) Credit to ShadeAnimator for putting together all the animation tools (F4AK) Crazy_F4Animation_Rigs.7z
KitKatKseniya Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Extreme noob question, but I'm rather interested, what do you use these rigs for exactly?
Vader666 Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 Extreme noob question, but I'm rather interested, what do you use these rigs for exactly? Animating. The Rig is like a controller for the joints of the skeleton.

Jeirdosaurus Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 If you can make a Deathclaw do the macarena, I'll order you a pizza.On a more serious note, how long did it take you to make this?

Clegane Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 I have a much more humble request- rig to pet your cat. I have immortal cats mod and I am realyy want to pet ant cat in game.
Kakabishan Posted March 4, 2017 Posted March 4, 2017 What program do you use with these rigs??? 3DSMax, you can get a student version for free on their website.

Only takes a few hours, more/less depending on how many bones the creature/animal has. I have a much more humble request- rig to pet your cat. I have immortal cats mod and I am realyy want to pet ant cat in game. Cat rig created.
MorganM Posted September 17, 2017 Posted September 17, 2017 Hey would you ever consider making a video/text tutorial on how to do this?

You will also need 3DS MAX 2013 or 2014 or 2015, not 100% sure if you can use The Havok plugin with 3DS Max 2016.

Havok works perfectly. When installing, it chokes since it can't find 2015, just browse to and select the 2016 executable and BAM... Bob is your uncle.

Sorry, I spoke to soon. max 2016 works for the Leito human rigs but I can NOT get anything usable in game using the Crazy Dogmeat rig. It may be user error. I can only find *.hko files for bipedal species. There may be a setting I haven't tried exporting with yet. I will keep trying with all of these creature rigs and will report here if I get any in game success while using max 2016.
