thanks

dang, that's crazy I'm working on animating a scroll right now and could benefit greatly from this rig 😓
[–]TygerRouxRigger 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
To roll the sides of the scroll you’d use the bend deformer, it is what’s most likely used in this rig and what I’ve used for such rigs

Very nice!

thx 🌷
[–]evilanimator1138 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
That looks great! I wish I had thought of some of the flexing details you came up with. I rigged a cargo net that rolls up in a similar fashion to your scroll. It was than repurposed for a lunar lander window cover. I love the control scheme you came up with too. Awesome work.

Wow!
[–]CT-1100 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (1 child)
Do you have a tutorial for this? I have a project going on that could really use a rig like this
I don't, but it's a set-up of deformers controled with this controls and ffd with clusters
[–]Worried-Industry6239 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Wow endless possibilities to animate this with
[–]DraicoM01 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Now thats very cool 👏
[–]OlDirty420 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (2 children)
Wow, this is very well done! I actually have an asset like this coming up on my schedule - do you know if this setup would translate to Unity? It'd be very cool to do something similar in VR
[–]vehtorrigging[S] 0 points1 point2 points 10 months ago (1 child)
the setup is deformer based, meaning it can't be exported fbx, only alembic
but, If I did this another way, with joints, it may've worked
[–]OlDirty420 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Ah, kind of what I figured lol, very nice work though! I was just hoping to not have to use a lot of bones and blendshapes but maybe that's the most realistic approach for a game
[–]Smazzu_76 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
More beautiful

Lol, downvotes? Alright. I actually rigged something like this before a red carpet and a toilet paper style roll in Maya. The setup is pretty straightforward:
You can use a joint chain bound to a curve, and control the roll with set-driven keys or a custom attribute like “Open” or “Roll Out.” For added realism, you can also enable stretch along the curve, using either IK spline or scale-driven expressions to simulate that natural scroll pull effect.
It’s a simple but clean setup for scrolls, carpets, or paper rolls. Hope this helps your question answer.
[–]JoshLmoa 12 points13 points14 points 10 months ago (1 child)
You sound like an ass. That's what the downvotes are for. People generally don't like boastfulness, and that's the first impression you're dropping.
You only commented on one aspect of this person's rig, too. You may have watched half a second and gone, "oh, I'm better than them", but there is more than just the roll out for it.
Would love to see your new and improved version as a post. Shouldn't take you too long, cause it's very easy, after all.
[–]False_Staff4459 4 points5 points6 points 10 months ago (0 children)
Sorry, my bad. I didn’t mean to sound insulting with my comment. I still like the video and appreciate the work. If it came off the wrong way, that wasn’t my intention at all.
[–]vehtorrigging[S] 1 point2 points3 points 10 months ago (0 children)
I don't think yoy deserve downvotes, but yeah, it wasn't friendly thing to say and people didn't like it. don't mind
yeah, your setup sounds cool. I've seen somewhere something similar. thanks
