Something.

Working your ass off on an animation for dozens of hours and agonizing over getting only 1000 views for your video isn't really rewarding.

Hello!

I have got a model that has a serpent-like body type and I would like to know if it is possible to create a .py based IK-rig for such a model. I actually tried, but it didn't work at all :/ AND NO. I didn't try it with the auto-rig addon. I tried it manually by writing it.

Any help would be appreciated.

+ ONE THING

Is it possible to add arm bones to a rig script? Let's say, that I have got a model with more arm bones than the normal script would accept. (6 while rig_biped_simple would accept only 4 as all the standard TF2 models have).

You typically don't use IK for skeletons like these. At least in SFM.

But there must be a way to add those bones to the script and make the bone hierarchy correct in the script right? I have tried that but it didn't work completely. I did something improperly.

Hello!

I was trying to rig a character model yesterday. I was using the rig_biped_simple as the base for it. It worked. Partially... When I tried to move the hands, they didn't move at all but they could be rotated but they didn't behave as they should when I moved the pelvis bone. What kind of issue could be causing this to happen? The arms actually have two extra bones compared to normal rig_biped compatible models. This means that my model has 6 bones per arm. If this is causing the problem, I would like to hear any ideas how to fix it.

Please, any help would be appreciated.

I spent almost 12 hours making my latest longer video and it has earned only about 800 views within 2 months. I really worked for some good quality motion in it. But most of those, for instance who make FNAF SFM videos with a fraction of the time budget mentioned above, earn millions of views and thousands of subscribers. It is really unfair in a way.

Use stepped tangents or first place the model out of the sight and then make it move instantly to the position you want by making only 1 keyframe long movement.

I'd recommend to create a separate folder for the clip and then render it as an image sequence (.PNG) for the best quality. Then compile it in an editor and re-encode it at the best settings. This is what I do, but what's the best and most efficient method may also depend on what kind of a computer you have got.
