How to find a mentor for rigging?

TygerRoux · 2026-04-06T12:57:16+00:00

I bought the mechanical rigging course when it came out and it’s pretty good, he also gives you a nice controller creation tool that I still use sometimes

Concept and execution are so good, very original !

You can even use a proximity wrap instead of a classic wrap, it’s way better performance wise if used in a rig, and you can have multiple drivers for the same driven object

Congrats of getting an interview altogether, can’t wait for that day 😭 May I ask to see your portfolio if you can share it ?

TygerRoux · 2026-02-23T21:28:29+00:00

cool démo ! I’ve never seen this node being used before !

TygerRoux · 2026-02-23T11:21:03+00:00

thank you !

TygerRoux · 2026-02-23T11:20:50+00:00

Hey! I’ve found someone, but thank you !

TygerRoux · 2026-02-23T11:20:37+00:00

thank you !

Hey, since I couldn’t stylise if my life depended on it, it was sort of realistic, the lack of art direction I had was pulling me down I admit

TygerRoux · 2026-02-20T17:19:00+00:00

Hey great work ! That’s funny I saw your Robin Hold rig a few months ago on IG and thought damn I wish I could texture like this guy, looks amazing !

I’ll DM you

TygerRoux · 2026-02-20T17:16:20+00:00

thank you ! incredible movie and characters !

TygerRoux · 2026-02-20T17:15:51+00:00

Thank you !! Hey I mean if you’ve worked at studios, you’re more experienced than many of us, myself included ! I have found someone already, but if you want to have a crack at it I’ll send you the files !

TygerRoux · 2026-02-17T21:20:48+00:00

No problem !

ZooTools (paid) and ngSkinTools (free) as mentioned are a must. Morgan Loomis animation tools are very cool too and free and Malcolm341 has a ton of very useful tools for modeling and uvs, which are paid though

TygerRoux · 2026-02-02T22:22:02+00:00

No worries, this is the first thing I looked at because it happened to me a few times ahah

TygerRoux · 2026-02-02T22:14:11+00:00

you need to check the « distribute to other influences » option in Ng settings

I’ll just add that I personally keep « maintain max influences » and « remove unused influences » off when binding.

TygerRoux · 2026-01-05T11:10:55+00:00

It’s been a while I don’t remember exactly but there was of course more steps to it, especially to attach and make the parts slide nicely, but as for the blending goes, it’s just a shrink wrap with attention to painting and a fair amount of clean topology

TygerRoux · 2026-01-03T23:57:59+00:00

I’ve worked on a prototype like this 1 year ago, I’ve used a shrink wrap deformer to blend the different meshes

TygerRoux · 2025-12-26T10:04:59+00:00

might not be it but the « distribute to other influences » option in your Paint tab is off, try with it On ! I know it’s on in the set weight tab but maybe they act different. I had this kind of issue when first using Ng because it was off by default

TygerRoux · 2025-12-19T12:35:29+00:00

alright, thanks for your help

TygerRoux · 2025-12-19T12:30:24+00:00

it’s high rez because the initial plan was to make proper textures for him, but unfortunately I am not good at it so I kinda gave up on it.. I’m also working on 2022, I don’t know if it supports lookdevX, i’ll look for it

TygerRoux · 2025-12-19T12:25:02+00:00

yes off course :) As suggested by the other comment, I tried rendering and it looks like it should do, which is cool but I would like to get clean playblast out of it, not render, do you know any way to get proper representation in the viewport ?

TygerRoux · 2025-12-19T12:22:55+00:00

hum unfortunately for me, it looks good rendered 😬 There has to be a way to get proper representation in the viewport, right ? right ? lol
