[miquelcampos]

to do after update the biped template: #78

using skeletonEmbed to emulate Maya's quick rig tool

create auto skinning option

[miquelcampos]

Tool Goals:

1. Quick start biped. (Including auto skin option)
2. remap guides from one character to another (same topology for reference)
3. should have API for pipeline integration and IO

• This tool should have options to use relative placement module or skeletonEmbed
• Add option for mirror one side, to avoid mismatch
• map to any biped guide template
• The tool should work with any morphology
• add some functionality to ensure elbow and knees are straight on bipeds
• maybe other refinement tools for bipeds

one click rig = import guide, build, skin, delete guide

The tool will have 2 parts and try to favor for Bipeds

Hello @miquelcampos
This is the follow up of what Raf did. if you are tackling this let me know to explain the way we made this more accurate.

Hey @jdrese I haven't started on it yet. I will begin with the embedSkeleton portion as that is simplest and then get to the relative placement portion. What changes did you make?

[miquelcampos]

@jdrese oh! now I remember you did some changes here, correct?

[RafaelVillar]

@miquelcampos We can talk more about this at work. But the embedSkeleton section will really be more biped specific as I have spent some time with the Maya command and it is really limited and favors humanoid bipeds. Which is not bad, it's just a smaller scope than we originally thought.

Now, the relative placement with a universal mesh for reference should be able to do any morphology provided the guides are the same. Let talk this week and I will show you what I mean and we can the time we spend on the tool to how much time it saves people.

[miquelcampos]

@RafaelVillar yes, that was always the idea ;) only bipeds for embedSkeleton
