RBD constraint Aug. 29, 2024, 10:32 a.m.

Good morning Guys,

I tried to setup a constraint between connected geo with different approch for the RBD sim but I can't solve it correctly.. It missed one direction ( in red on my printscree) and I don't know why..

Thank you for your advices.





It works with the red arrow direction:


If I keep only 2 pieces in the other direction, there is no connections

Hi William,
What is your suggestion for eyes with the different parts? I use the jointcaptureproximity for the eyesball, but for the rest should I use blendshape or skining?
Hi have a look on youtube for rigging tutorials, the DCC doesnt matter. The principles are mostly the same.
Then try and build it in apex.

The chicken and the luchador are both set up using pose blends for the facial animation, you can have a look at how that was set up.
I am using a custom setup for the pose blends in those examples. We have a brand new pose blend component that you can use for that.

Thank you William for your feedback, I always know 3ds max and Maya rig, I will check out the new pose blend

Hi guys,
The apex setup is better, but I have a lot to fix before I can use it. If you have any advice, I would be really thankful.
