Hi all, I just made a bunch of improvements to the free IK rig. Really works smooooooth and all bones are oriented properly. Really easy to work with. Just drop it in to any character mesh and you can then drop on any of the hundreds of BVH anim clips available and also keyframe any of those bvh motions (try that in other 3d programs) using the IK handles. Left/right mouse buttons do different motions on the handles. All bones named properly to accept the bvh animations in the bvh-sports and bvh-mikes moves folder. Plus hundreds more. Download the new Ik rig below and also there is TANK GIRL and BINKY with new rig added too (weight painting worked well).:banana:


p.s above quick gif video clips have bvh anim clips instantly dropped on. Then rendered hundreds of real time frames in couple minutes. Way too cool!



P.S. here is how I setup all the IK handle properties on each IK Handle ..

any comments on setup would be appreciated.


ARROW HANDLE ON HEAD

WITH FULL LOCK ON CHEST

LEFT MOUSE ROTATE LOCAL X

RIGHT BUTTON ROTATE LOCAL Z

USE GLOBAL LOCKS AND ANIMATE AS SOFT CHECKED ON


HANDS HANDLES

WITH FULL LOCK SHOULDER

LEFT MOUSE=MOVE SCREEN ALIGNED

RIGHT BUTTON=MOVE WORLD XY

LOCK CHILDREN AND POSING ONLY CHECKED ON


YELLOW CIRCLE HANDLE ON HIP

WITH UPPER LEG BONES ROTATION LOCKS

AND FULL LOCKS ON FEET

LEFT MOUSE=MOVE SCREEN ALIGNED

RIGHT BUTTON=MOVE WORLD XY

PERSERVE BONE ORIENTATION AND INVERT IK CHECKED ON


GREEN ARROW HANDLE ON HIP

ROTATION LOCK UPPER LEG BONES

AND FULL LOCKS FOOT BONES

LEFT MOUSE ROTATE LOCAL Z

RIGHT BUTTON ROTATE LOCAL Y

INVERT IK GROUPS AND ANIMATE AS SOFT CHECKED ON


RED RECTANGLES BOTTOM OF FEET

RIGHT/LEFT FOOT LOWER LEG BONE ROTATION LOCK

AND WAIST FULL LOCK

LEFT MOUSE MOVE SCREEN ALIGNED

RIGHT BUTTON MOVE WORLD XY

INVERT IK GROUPS AND PERSERVE BONE ORIENTATION CHECKED ON

 The rig works impressively and I downloaded it to see if it would help me understand the parameters that display in the Link Editor (is there any good reference around because the tips that appear when you look at the inputs and outputs are too cryptic for me). I have a puzzle - I cannot see any joints in the rig you uploaded (looking at the skeleton alone). Are there any and if so why do then not display in LE?

I uploaded an image to help explain a bit for you. By clicking on the SHAPE SKELETON TOOL then clicking on a JOINT you can then see many properties under the PANEL. Working on the limbs and skeleton in the LE takes a bit to get used to it. Nice thing about the free skeleton rig is you dont need to know any thing to use it. Just drop it in your mesh and then "attach skin to skeleton" and you are set. You can then do some weight painting and joint limiting if you like. Those are so easy in Truespace compared to other 3d animation programs. The Truespace manual really has some great info on all this.
