Kurzbeschreibung
Create Believable Characters from Head to Toe
Simple rigging will work for minor characters, but limitations of a simple rig can stop animatorsin their tracks if they need functionality that isn't there. Whether you're a professional CharacterTD or just like to create 3D characters, this detailed guide reveals the techniques you need to create sophisticated 3D character rigs that range from basic to breathtaking.
Packed with step-by-step instructions and full-color illustrations, Body Language walks you through rigging techniques for all the body parts to help you create realistic and believable movements in every character you design. You'll learn advanced rigging concepts that involve MEL scripting and advanced deformation techniques and even how to set up a character pipeline.
* Hone basic rigging concepts to form a solid foundation
* Plan ahead for broken rigs, control setups, and perfect joint orientation
* Learn advanced IK spline spine setup (called the Spine Wave)
* Explore custom-built stretchable FKIK arms and legs, and reverse foot techniques
* Create advanced facial deformations with blendshapes and influence objects
* See advanced eye setup with cornea and lacrimal deformations
* Perform additional deformations that can bend bones
* Get an introduction to Maya Muscle (formerly cMuscleSystem) and UVLayout
* Create an efficient workflow with Adam Sidwell's Pipeline in a Box
On the CD
The CD provides example files for the completed rig, including sample MEL files, Maya scene files, and an example of Pipeline in a Box.

Excellent resource
28. Mai 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
The book is an excellent resource. I've done my fair share of rigging, and Allen and Murdock have put together a body of information that not only teaches me new tricks, but polishes and streamlines what I already do. Body Language will be the first place I look when I need to dig around for rigging assistance.
Body Language has me excited to rig again, which is perhaps the greatest aspect of the book. There are a lot of little "aha" moments here, and I'm itching to put them to use. It's an essential component of my reference library.
I have only one complaint with this book: It doesn't cover 3DS Max. It's understandable, what with Maya being dominant in the high end of the field, but some of the principles and techniques here are so good, it just seems a shame to not have Max involved. Ironically, then, it's the excellence of the Maya coverage that leaves me wanting the same for Max. Perhaps there's a sequel in the works.
That minor quibble aside, I still rate this at the full five stars. The book stands on its own merits, and that I wish for more merely testifies to the value of the data.

Excellent resource!

I was impressed by the in-depth and detailed methods for character rigging described in this book. It's an excellent resource for technically-inclined enthusiasts boost their skillz as well as the experienced professional who wants to hone them.
The book goes through great things that realistic rigs must have! There are a few "bonus" chapters (subjects I didn't expect to be in the book) at the end about UVLayout, Maya Muscle and skinning.
UVLayout FTW!
Great book, and a must-have for the reference library!

Mostly Good!
9. Juni 2008
Format:Taschenbuch
This book has many great points! i think mainly i like it because instead of a linear step-by-step abc approach, each chapter explains approaches for a specific bodypart for your standard biped rig. that is a big plus.
on the other hand the directions are unnecessarily verbose, skimming over important considerations and possibly over-stressing minor considerations. that said i would not set down this book for another.
This book along with 'Art of Rigging Vol 1' by CGToolKit are staple books for your rigging library if you are shopping for more than just long discriptive directions for applying IK solvers and naming bones.
