[@user-wo8mr4vh3u]

Great video!!! can you please share the rig you are using? I was trying for a long time to a build this kind of rig with 2 extra leg controllers for making the leg pose more smooth and round but I am really struggling with it :(

[@animeforever8508]

Thanks

[@dmitriy0841]

good tutorial

[@leslienyatsambo6990]

Hey Alessandro thank you for the tutorial and where can we get the free rig?

[@hipered]

grazie!

[@rappersdiss268]

Cool

[@Yaroslav70384]

nice

[@kool-movies]

have you tried cascadeur ? , just started with 3d animation using the free version and unreal engine rig.. will be watching your vids assuming the tips will help, i also think will be alot of new people trying cascadeur and unreal engine combo so might be worth you trying it and making some vids on it.

[@aakashpurohit6820]

How can we use the last method if we are working in the industry, as we are not allowed to tweak the geometry ? So if there is no controller for knee, then what can we do? And also one more question - Are these knee extend controllers used in VFX animation as they are based on realism?

[@LetsAnimatewithIrfan]

well explained!!!

[@wallyanimations]

Thanks for the video. But to be fair, there is just method 4, as with all the other methods production will get into trouble downstream (stretched textures etc.). My TD will have a nightmare from method 5. No way this is allowed on a high end show or film. Or imagine you get this shot from a college who used this technique and you have to fix it. It's hell. There is only the hard way, which is method 4. All the others you are making it easy for yourself as an animator, but giving your colleges problems. It might look good in the playblast, but it's quick and dirty. Most likely the animation will come back to you for you to fix it properly, or you will put your colleges through a lot of pain.

[@acamporota]

many production today have good rig so you can use the first method with a controller to stretch the knee...in another feature film the animator had to create cluster to fix bad rig deformation... and it was not an exception, in Sony, animators create their own blendshape that completely change the design of the character.. so yes..those things can be use..feature film production is a nightmare

[@wallyanimations]

@@acamporota Hi, I appreciate the comment and the feedback. I will keep that in mind. All the best.

[@AhmetBerkTugrul]

5th one is like, I am giving up...

[@andryowyeh3531]

[@acamporota]

What do you mean.. Up and down?
