Don't be afraid to start over!😅 I wasn't happy with my arm correctives, so I completely reworked them... It definitely looks and feels more natural now compared to how it was before. I will probably see what I can do to improve the thigh corrective next #blender #rigging #rig

Pistol rig update: I LOVE IT😍 The magazine helper mechanism works so well! I'm so excited to share the final showcase animation, and release the rig! #blender #rigging #rig

Much happier with these updated thigh correctives! A big improvement from my original setup, but still isn't perfect when pushed to an extreme. The thigh squish is handled by shape keys, and the calf+hamstring are b-bones with transformation constraints😄 #blender #rigging #rig

After studying some references and posts from other rigging artists, i've ended up with this clean DEF setup for the torso/shoulders. With this rig, I'm challenging myself to take my DEF layer to the next level. So far so good!😄 #blender #rigging #rig

Working my way through the Assault Rifle rig! I still absolutely love my auto magazine mechanism, and i've got an extra firing MCH idea that i want to try out on this rig. It's a little different to the Pistol rig, but should be fun and useful!😄 #blender #rigging #rig

When modelling, I think it's good practice to test mechanical parts with a rough rig I would hate to get past the UV's/Textures/Baking, gotten to the rig, and realise that i've made a lot more work for myself because the parts don't work😆 #blender #modelling #rigging

Blender Pistol Rig! I applied my magazine helper, to an actual project! I'm really happy with this weapon rig so far :D it's super smooth and should have all the tools for easy animation! - Magazine helpers - Auto shell eject - Customisation options #blender #rigging

Aaand- done! Pretty simple rig overall, but has all the features I need, and looks as menacing as ever!😁 I will test this rig with an animation before uploading it to Gumroad, just to make sure everything is working as well as it can be! #blender #rig #rigging #Helldivers2

Spent the whole day working on the thigh deforms... It's not 100%, but it's definitely an improvement from my old setups!😄 I've got the twist/breakdown bones left to do here, and a lot more learning to do in the future. but for now, i'm pretty pleased. #blender #rigging #rig

Here's what I have made for the finger correction!😁 It might be overkill, and it did take over 3 hours... But i believe that it's the little details like this that make a big difference overall! It's all about keeping that volume preserved :) #blender #rigging #rig

Made some improvements to my old ammo feed mechanism!😄 It's now more flexible, easier to setup, and more optimised :) Still a few things to iron out, but i'm happy with the direction! #blender #rigging #rig

First look at the grapple rig! I'm so very pleased with how this has turned out. It's got as much control as i could put in, without overwhelming it, and all exportable to game engine!! I'm so excited to keep expanding on this rig. #blender #rigging #rig

Added some more automation to my magazine rig 😁 Using drivers i'm able to enable the property, as soon as the magazine gets close to the threshold. It has its limits, but from animating just one bone and a property, i think it's pretty good! #blender #rig #rigging
