mel_y3k Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 does anyone know where i can find some (or at least one) tutorial(s) online about how to squetch rig a model in AM: 2004? Quote
oakchas Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 don't know that squetch rig will work in 2004 Quote
mel_y3k Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 i'm sorry...maybie i wasn't that specific...i mean i need a tutorial on how to BUILD a squetch rig... Quote
itsjustme Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 i'm sorry...maybie i wasn't that specific...i mean i need a tutorial on how to BUILD a squetch rig... The Squetch Rig relies on Expressions for the actual squetching of the individual bones and Steve's Hand Gizmo, so the earliest version of AM that is able to use it is v11.1 (there are versions for v11.1, v12 and v13/14 on the Wiki page). The InstallRig plugin will work as far back as v11.0, so you could build an installation rig of your own rig for that version. There isn't a complete tutorial for how to build an entire Squetch Rig from scratch at the moment (I'm assuming that's what you mean), but I did make a tutorial for how to build an installation rig that can be used for any rig that also shows how the squetching is done in the Squetch Rig. The tutorial is located here. Does that help? Quote

What part of the Squetch Rig? The actual squashing and stretching? You could take out the Hand Gizmo (or re-work it so that it doesn't rely on Expressions) and take out anything that requires Expressions...you would still have a decent rig. Other rigs you could use are the 2001 Rig and The Setup Machine...TSM sounds like the best choice for you if you can't use the Squetch Rig. Hope that helps. Quote

phatso Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 Just a question, Mel - how much is your time worth? Unless it's only about a buck an hour, you are going to burn up enough time dinking around with this that you could have just as easily upgraded... and when you're done, you will still have an old version of A:M.
