Pocket Knife tutorial

Description Tutorial

 

Key concepts we'll be working on:

 

I'll explain lot of different concept for beginners to understand well the first things to understand before to move on some more complex rigs.

How to have a good hierarchy in a production rig. 

How to have a good hierarchy of controls and share a script that will help you make a lot of controls quickly and improve your rigging speed.

Next, we'll place all the elements needed to rig the different parts of the knife.

Make some nodal connections to start talking about nodality without too many complex things to do.

We'll finalize the rigging process (for animation).

Some new concepts in this scene, with the first use of a system switch connected to an orientation constraint and some others stuff.
