Red is right, left is blue and sometimes yellow is the center. Obvious stuff but for the rigger it can be a total pain to use that little maya integer slider in the display options for changing colors on curves or joints. So I just made some buttons in a window that change that slider to whatever color is on the button you click when the object is selected.<br \/>\nYou can download, view it <a href=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/ezColors.txt\">Here)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Untitled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Untitled-1024x362.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"625\" height=\"221\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Untitled-1024x362.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Untitled-300x106.jpg 300w, https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Untitled.jpg 1684w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nRun the MEL script in the script editor, or save it into the shelf as a button.<br \/>\nHopefully this can save you a little time!<\/p>\n<p>———————————————————————– 8_16_2015<br \/>\nahh its been a while I must post here more!

I have written this little script<br \/>\nto hopefully make advanced skeleton 4 usable for their unity project.<\/p>\n<p>You can download it or view it <a href=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/AS4_2_Unity_5_21_2015.txt\">Here<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/unityRig.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/unityRig-1024x483.jpg\" alt=\"unityRig\" width=\"625\" height=\"295\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/unityRig-1024x483.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/unityRig-300x142.jpg 300w, https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/unityRig-624x295.jpg 624w, https:\/\/davidtravaglione.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/unityRig.jpg 1652w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nBasically the idea is that you can use as4 as a driver rig with this tool. It is to be used after an as4 biped body build, no faces.<br \/>\n-First build an as4 rig, but don’t bind to it.<br \/>\n-Run my tool in the script editor or as a button, its mel btw.<br \/>\n-Enter a name for the export skeleton and press “Enter Input” button.<br \/>\n-Press the “Build Unity Skeleton over AS4” button. \/\/basically makes another skeleton and parent constrains to the as4 deformation joints<br \/>\n-Press the select bind joints button. \/\/this step selects the new bind joints the tool made.<br \/>\n-bind as normal to your character mesh.<br \/>\n-after you make an animation (say a 20 frame walk loop for example)<br \/>\n press the “Select all joints” button and enter the frame range numbers into the text fields<br \/>\nand press the “Bake Animation 2 export Skel” button.<br \/>\n-after the script plays through your animation once, press the “Remove AS4 driver rig” button.<\/p>\n<p>What you are left with is a baked skeleton and a mesh that still has all the keyed animation made with the AS4 rig.<br \/>\nexport that as an fbx for quick unity exports.<\/p>\n<p>for face animation I keyed alot of blendshapes seperate from this tool, but the good news is now that unity plays the blendshapes from fbx’s so easily theres alot of possibilities for vertex<br \/>\nlevel animation to be saved into blendshape series like ncloth and stuff besides just faces that i previously thought not possible inside unity without an expensive plugin.<br \/>\nThe parent constrains let the key bake process work a little better with as4. Without this tool, baking the deformation skeleton using existing stuff in as4 seems to collapse the character,<br \/>\nespecially around the spine and I couldn’t figure out any other way than this for someone using AS4 specifically as a base for a unity character.<\/p>\n<p>AS4 is a great auto rigger available for free online right here: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.animationstudios.com.au\/advancedskeleton\/downloads\" title=\"AS4 download link (NOT ME)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>———————————————————————– <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Dave’s corner of useful things!
