Really enjoyed the 3D Rigging module, gained new skills in being able to create skeleton systems for future characters, vehicles and assets. This was a really useful module.

Week 12- Finishing Weighting and Evaluation
This final week I spent polishing the skin weights on captain atom and correcting any issues within the weight maps. I'm looking for free movement of joints without effecting any other joints ensuring that the the weight on the joints is only effecting the selected areas.
Here are a few screens of my final Rig,

Torso and GUI
I have now rigged the spine for captain atom using IK Spline and created clusters from the CV's that will allow me to create controls for his spine at different positions giving control over the core of the rig's body. The controls for the spine will be a light blue following the design theme I had previously outlined.
This week I will be polishing the GUI ensuring that all of the controls are in the correct position labelled correctly and have the correct colour for each area. I will also ensure that all of my SDK's are also on the appropriate controls and named correctly.

Legs and Arms
This week rigged the legs and arms!
First I did the legs.
I created IK handles for the hip to ankle, ankle to ball and ball to toe. I then created SDK's for the Toe roll and Ball lift.
Once they were created a i proceeded with the arms.
I created IK handles for the spine to clavicle, the clavicle to shoulder and the shoulder to the elbow.
I also Created SDK's for the Hands and ensured that the fingers could clench into a fist and roll out again and also ensured the fingers could spread and close.
Again I follwed the same design principles of my rig ensuring the different controls for each side of the body were a different color. Left=Yellow / Right=Red

Captain Atom Rig
This week we received our Captain Atom Rig.
Will begin rigging captain atom by creating all of the joints and placing them correctly within the mesh.
one thing that I will be incorporating into the captain atom rig is a neat and tidy GUI, that I also created for the Mercedes car. I will be making sure that all controls that are created will follow the same design principles ensuring that the different controls for each side of the body are a different colour. Left=Yellow / Right=Red Neutral Controls will be a Light Blue, all of these colours stand out clearly and are easy to see around the rig.
