I'm still working on assigning all of the CPs and figuring out how things work with the Squetch rig.

So far, so good. The hand controls are really great. The only downside is that I'm realizing that all the rigging I did on my first character is going to have been for nothing, since I'll want to re-rig him with this!

One thing, though...

I've looked around and did a quick search on the forums, but haven't found a way to hide the FACE controls and they are showing up in renders. Can I translate the whole thing back up out of view (when I'm not using it) or is there something right in front of my face (that hides all that stuff right in front of my character's face) I'm just not seeing? :-)

In the Animation Controls>FACE interface>FACE off/Joint Controls/Split Controls, set the percentage pose to 0% to turn of the FACE interface in the pose slider window. This will alway render if you are rendering in the modeling window.

Thanks, Mark!

No problem.

I assume you use the posable rig? If you did, how did it go?

I did and it went really well! It really is an amazing system! I'm still not entirely sure that I did everything exactly right, but I guess I'll find that out down the road. :-)

I did have a little trouble getting the InstallRig to run (I posted about it in one of the other threads), but that was the only hitch and I was able to figure it out after a few tries.

I'm working on trying to assign CPs to the face bones now (in between playing around with posing.) Haven't done any smart-skinning yet.

Mr. Spott really digs that he can finally do that hand salute thing. :-)
