I see they have inherit rotation turned off for the feet to stop sinking through the floor. But let's say you want to rotate the rigs position with root bind, the feet will not turn with the rig. How do you solve this?

I created new bones that the feet copy the rotation from instead. They always stay flat, and you can rotate the whole sim.

How saw a few tutorials of how they added new bones to the feet, etc. They created something named a foot roll. But the method was too confusing for me to understand.:frown:

 

They always go back to character rigging or building a new rig. But I don't understand how to apply the method to the current rig I'm using.

Once I iron out a lot of the things that still irk me. I plan to release an updated version of the nanashi rig (with credits of course!).

I see then. Forgive me if I'm being too pesky, but it is something that was bothering me for a while. A hurdle I need to understand properly.

No worries! You aren't pestering me at all. :smile:

Just wanted to give everyone an update. I'm not gone, I just don't have much creative energy during the winter season. I do have something to share however, it's nothing amazing but here it is:

This is the modified Nanashi rig that I've been working on, it has a couple new features that I'll share later when everything is complete. The models use assets from a few different creators (Azmodan's rig, LUUMIA's skin overlays, Hiroki's BB tops, the tongue by autobanned and Noir's default WW penis models), so I must get permission before I share it. I will also be creating a SFW version that I will share elsewhere that doesn't contain the penis or tongue bones.

 

The reason for creating this modified rig is to make it a little easier for newcomers. The hope is that this will bring in a wave of new animations.

It looks gorgeous. Hopefully, like you said it will inspire the newbies. The normal default rig is a little intimating at first.

Thank you! I spent a little too much time on the lighting and materials, but I'm glad it hasn't gone unnoticed. :blush: The rig is pretty much identical to Nanashi except in a couple ways. (There are elbow poles for example.)

 

It indeed is quite difficult to work with the default rig, especially since there is absolutely zero IK set ups.

Indeed, the default rig is a nightmare to use without IK.

 

Dagger's rig has a pretty complex setup. It can be switched between IK and FK, but it really isn't for a newbie such as myself. I'm more use to the nanashi rig.

I think with creating poses and animation, you need to work with a rig you feel comfortable with.

Dagger has a rig? Is it public?

 

I tried making a custom rig before staying with Nanashi, and I had no idea where to begin. I just don't have enough knowledge in Blender to do so. :confounded:

You and me both lol, I know even less than you.

 

Dagger posted his rig here in this post: https://www.loverslab.com/topic/74690-daggers-animations-for-wickedwhims/?do=findComment&comment=1998176

Dagger's rig has a nice foot roll implemented and the feet stay planted firmly to the ground. There are a few other things I like about it too.

Just played around with it a little, it's a lot more complex than Nanashi. If I'm reading Dagger's post properly, it also can make animations that scale to the size of a sim too? Wow, I didn't even know we could do that in blender.

 

Amazing. I hope to get to this level at some point. I opened the example file, there's all sorts of things in there that I never even knew of. :astonished:

It's pretty much an eye opener. I think you'll get the feel of it the more you play around with the rig. Maybe there is something to learn from it, even if it is complex.

I'm glad it's coming along well.. This looks great, i'm sure it'll come in handy :smile:

I'm sure there is plenty to learn from it, thanks for the link!

Thanks. That's what I'm hoping!

Since I've been leaving the people following this hanging for so long, I thought I would give you guys the one animation that I have completed so far. It's not much but I hope you can find some enjoyment out of it!

I think the Nanashi rig I'm working on is almost complete, I just want to make sure everything works correctly.

Yay! I can't wait to test it out with my male sim. Thanks a bunch!:thumbsup:

Not bad! It's pretty good. The sim is very relaxed and taking the time to enjoy every second. :thumbsup:

 

I wish I recorded this clip a little better sadly:

Thank you. That was the feeling I was going for with it. :blush:

 

Unfortunately, your .webm isn't showing up. :cry:

For some reason you can't watch webm videos on blogs.:frown:

 

I'll upload it again. You may have to download it directly to watch it, it's about 2 mb.
