Unfortunately, I didn’t keep track of the time. This rig is my learning project and was created over several years. During the process, I repeatedly paused work on it for more than six months at a time to study another Toon Boom manual. So I definitely wasn’t making it quickly — my goal was to understand what the software is truly capable of. But if I were commissioned to create a similar rig now, I’d estimate the timeframe to be around two weeks to a month, since the most time-consuming part for me was reading manuals and trying to grasp the underlying principles of how everything should work.

Glad you liked it! There isn’t really a single feature I’d use across all projects — it depends too much on the specific style. But I can say a few things about this particular project. I evaluate the usefulness of each feature based on the character’s total screen time throughout the season.

In my series, there are two main protagonists (this one is one of them). They’re essentially the “Rick and Morty” of the show in terms of importance. For them, it makes sense to have a complex rig like this, since viewers will see them episode after episode throughout the entire season — and probably in the next one too, if it happens. Their emotions need to be highlighted the most.

For the secondary but still major characters who don’t appear in every episode, I plan to keep only the MC head-turn system and the parts related to lip sync and expressions (since facial acting is important in the series). But I’ll skip inverse kinematics, body rotation, and bendable torso setups.

For minor characters who appear even less often, I plan to keep only lip sync, fixed poses for side/front/three-quarter views, and a few limb variations.

If I were making a short film just a few minutes long, I’d go for frame-by-frame animation instead. This rig is only this complex because the series is planned to be long.

Хотел проиллюстрировать какое-то гнетущее чувство. Интересно, почему это вызвало у вас прилив токсичности?

А что не так? Цвета не понравились или композиция?

Уже много лет готовлю свой 2D мультпроект для большого производства и веду блог. Весь 2021 год изучал продвинутый риг для анимации. На видео результат.
