Cinema 4D R13 Character Builder

• CyBrainX

  Has anyone been using this?

  I've looked at several tutorials and built a quick rig three times now and at best can only move a basic biped from the waist down. (That's what she said) Most of the time, the binding completely fails. Has anyone had any luck? This would be a great feature for those of us who aren't rigging masters.

  Thanks albums, but I'm looking for something that would be built from scratch.

  I'm not sure what I did wrong the first three times, but the fourth time was the charm. I'm ok for now.

  Using it right now at work, it's pretty fucking awesome. You just have to fix your weighting with the weight brush and smooth that shit out.

  • Thanks. My next obvious move was weight managing so that link helped at the end.CyBrainX

  Thanks nthkl.
  The problem I was having was not being in Animate mode while trying to move body parts. (Click on Character object in Objects Manager > Object tab > Animate tab.

  Next problem I'm having is weighting. How do you get the brush to show up when you open the weights manager. It seems like the weighting brush should show up immediately but it doesn't. I can select body parts in the manager but they show up as mesh points and nothing else.

  • Answering my own question again, you have to double click the Weight Expression tag on the character mesh to get the brush tool with weight manager.CyBrainX
  • brush tool with weight manager. I was getting the weight manager from the Character menu with nothing selected.CyBrainX
