Body Mechanics Rigs

Description

Update Note (22nd Feb 2020): I got rid of Jim and added Jill - a female version of Jim. Also I have updated the rig with some new features. Thank you for downloading :)

Note:
(For Blender 2.8) When you first open the file you will see the pop-up prompt. Make sure you check on the box Permanently allow execution of scripts and hit Allow Execution. This way the script the runs in my file manipulating the rig will be able to run on your machine. Promise this isn't a virus or anything Blender is just trying to warn you if there is an alienated script and see if you mean to use that script.

the rig is corrupted

V
vinchau over 9 years ago

Can you be more clear? What is corrupted? Which or what part of it that you find corrupted? Thank you :)

V
vinchau over 9 years ago

Hey, I know your possible corruption when you first open your Blend file, at the top of your Blender app click on Reload Trusted, that should fix all the problems. Else, you can go to your User Preferences - File tab and tick on Auto Run Python scripts, this way it will run the script compiled with whatever file you open in your system. Cheers :D

is nice but its too lowpoly

V
vinchau over 9 years ago

low poly is just for animation (as the tags stated above) as it's supposed to be low res for playback, rendering settings are still at high, please check thank you :D

V
vinchau over 8 years ago

Are you in pose mode? If you select the skeleton and hit Ctrl-Tab it should be in pose mode, and from there you can pose your model :D

drshdesai over 8 years ago

Really awesome rig, loved it and created a run cycle using this. Check it [here](https://youtu.be/eEbBB9POjQ8). But, I want to know how can I append/link the rig and character to my own scene and use it separately. Thanks.

V
vinchau over 8 years ago

I already left you a private message :) BTW good work on those cycles!

A
AndrewTheKat over 8 years ago

It's a great rig, super fast to preview and render, animator friendly and it has great appeal. Here is an animation I have made with him. https://vimeo.com/261982228 thank you vinchau !

CR0ZS almost 8 years ago

Amazing rig! Although I want to add my custom texure to your model. I can't find the texture file so may you send me the original texture for Jack. Keep up the GREAT work!

V
vinchau almost 8 years ago

Hi, thanks for the comment! You can find the texture in the texture editor, click on the image icon in between the New button and the UVs menu tab, then you can find 2 texture maps, one of Jack and one of Jim. Happy animating! :D

why does it download an HTML file ???

T
Technno almost 8 years ago

Not sure if you're still active, but the file downloaded as an html file. I'm very confused.

V
vinchau almost 8 years ago

Hi, I'm sorry for the late reply. I just checked the download file is still working. Let me know if it's still an HTML file? :)

R
RodgerDavis over 7 years ago

Downloaded today and still an HTML file. It has two suffixes .zip and then .html. I wonder if it is due to Blendswap itself.

D

TeiBrito over 7 years ago

I have a problem... When I enter in the pose mode the character appears with arms and legs clenched ... I can not solve it. any ideas?

R
RodgerDavis over 7 years ago

Did you move any of the bones in edit mode? If so, then you may have broke the rig. You'll want to redownload a fresh copy if this is the case.

A
Awesomegamer8anim over 7 years ago

I downloaded it and it appeared as an html file? did I do it wrong?

R
RodgerDavis over 7 years ago

Same. I just got rid of the ".html" when I renamed it. After this it can be used as a zip as long as it still has ".zip" on the end of it. Rename from [ ____.zip.html ] to [ ____.zip ]

Hey, great rig! Do you plan to update this for 2.8. Everything seems fine but arm controllers are missing in new blender version.

F

Can you please please update for Blender 2.8 :) ?

C
CReece about 7 years ago

Great rig! I also would like to request an update for 2.8 :) !

VanesaV25 about 7 years ago

Hi ! I download your rig for use it for animacion but the arms in IK doesnt work, I try to move the hand but it doesnt work. could you help me with that?

V
vinchau about 7 years ago

I'll update the rig in Blender 2.8 guys. So please stay tuned for it. Thank you for your support :)

V

EDIT: They don't let me out, often. But I re-downloaded today (Nov 18, 2019). ►FREAKIN' AWESOME◄!!! Kudos! Congrats! Slam-dunk! [And a lot of other nice things to say about your hard work]. THANKS! --- Original Rant --- The video begins. It appears you have the 2nd Collection down named "Jack Rig" selected. I open the file I downloaded. There is no Collection named "Jack Rig." I study the file... determine the "Collection 11" looks the same as the video "Jack Rig" because they both have an armature named "Jack's," so I select Collection 11. The video clearly shows the Root bone. The file I've downloaded doesn't. Your video shows the Rig Layers. The file doesn't. I study the paused (at 0:00) video. Figure out I have to click "Misc" to open the Rig Layers. I click Root in the Rig Layers. Nope. Nothing. Root doesn't appear. At this point, I give up. Waste of my time, and the bandwidth to download. But hey, nice try!!!

V
vinchau about 7 years ago

There was an error on updating the rig on the site. There was clearly the new version of the rig but it's un-checked and the old version was checked so the version you downloaded was the old one. I resolved it and tried again. Sorry for wasting your valuable time sir!

I love how simple it is to animate with it. The controls are very accessible, and not just sliders hidden inside the N menu. Made a little animation exercise: https://youtu.be/Kc5UwanDzRE Is there any chance you could make a rig that has facial controls also? It would be greate to have something like it to use in animation classes. Thank you for your time!

Hi, do you mind re-uploading the file here please?

V
vinchau about 6 years ago

Please refer to the description. I posted the link to download there. Blendswap has had this issue for awhile now and I don't think they care to fix it. Please download it from my gumroad page :) cheers!

We do care to fix it and I have fixed the issue so that is why I am asking for you to re-upload it.

Thank you so much for this rig! However I don't see the controls for the fingers that allow to scale the finger (to make a fist for example). I have Fingers and tweaks enabled but I don't have those controls

abedd_1052380 over 5 years ago

This rig is beyond awesome, but I would like to have more manual control over the 3 parts of the spine individually, is it possible on this rig? I kind of failed to do that so far. EDIT: I see that I can use the Tweak Bones for that purpose, maybe it can be catered to do that, even though they don't practically rotate, but this should suffice at least for my Body Mechanics course I'm taking for now ( I guess).

I love this model as a temp model for my upcoming game called "Magic Chronicles." it works perfectly I just needed to rig it, overall good for temp player/NPC model.

This is an awesome body mechanics rig which lm currently learning. The inly setback is lve to use Blender 2.8 for the rig script to work properly. Please update the script to work in blender 4.0, at least. Thanks a lot for sharing.
