Jumping in here about the demo reel. Overall nice work, it looks like you have your head around cartoony setups. Two things I noticed.
1: slow the reel down. I rewound the video 4 times to try and see if the rear dog leg keeps the femur and the metatarsals parallel and it was just to fast to see what the hell was going on. I've always found that rigging reels that just show someone wiggling every attribute on the rig don't really convey much. You can speed things up a bit but focus on a few things you solved in an innovative way. I'd rather see you show 3-5 rig setups slowly so I understand what problem you solved and how than see everything on every rig. 2: The illustration you use in the rig UI is cute, but ultimately it doesn't lend its self to adding new setups. What would happen if you had to add another setup? Would you have to redraw the illustration? How would that work in production? Keep it up though, there are some things in there I'd like to take a better look at if they weren't flying by me at 100km/h :) Kyle On Saturday, June 4, 2016 at 4:20:36 PM UTC-4, Rudi Hammad wrote: > > hello, > > so I spend a couple of months making my show reel which is a rig builder > tool.
