Experimenting with some 2D constraints rigs, for an animation project.

Hope you like it,

Cheers!

Very nice rig! great placement and use of bones! If I should only find a flaw, is that the ears could look slightly less in the front, which is something you can fix in less than 5 minutes XD
Is it comfortable to have IKs on the hands? I usually avoid it because they get in the way, but I see they pin nicely the hands in place when she jumps, isn't it harder to do secondary motion this way?

btw are you also job hunting?

Hi Eikari, thanks a lot for your feedback. About the ears I already corrected that, but I did not have time to update these renders, so I uploaded the previous versions of them.

Regarding what you comment about the hands Iks, I use to do that because I have more control over the bones (specially if I want to to pin something to an exact point and the rest of the character is still moving or doing something extra) I don't find it difficult to do secondary actions really! and also I use an extra bone for the hands (as a controller) but just for selecting the drawins into the slot ( some kind of "grouping method) so i can choose easily any drawing I want during the animation.

"btw are you also job hunting?" (what was the question for? I'm curious) Well I'm working in a project right now, but I'm always open to do new stuff and I love experimenting with the softwares I use to take advantage of them in order to accomplish my goals.

I'm an animation filmmaker, and since I started using Spine, I fell in love with it, and starting experimenting a lot really. I found It's a really comfortable programme and has sooo much potencial, that's why I'm always looking to do complex things as some sort of a challenge. 🙂

Thanks again for your support and having the time to write about it, and very happy you like the results of my work.

Have a great day,

Best,

Jb.-

Did you manage to reuse the same skeleton? I hope you did 😃 I really love the rig

Yes I did, reattached some texture changing only, but It's the main one 😉

Hi Jorge, your work is so nice!
I'm also looking for how you create these constraints to animate. Do you have some tips or where did you learn from?
Thank you!

Hi milulou, I suggest having a look at our Spine-twitch page to get downloads and videos where complete rigging processes are shown:
Spine: Twitch
The ones more down in the list also have chapters on specific topics in their YouTube video descriptions, such as this one:
