What is aRT?

I’ve been developing rigging tools for a long time now, with my first being developed back in 2004, but these have mainly been created for clients. I am at a stage now where I feel I can take all that experience and knowledge and create a user-friendly rigging and animation toolkit, just for you.

So, i’ve been working on an update to my biped rigging tool (bipRig), the big difference being that I wanted to create a more “modular” rigging system, meaning you won’t be restricted to just humanoid rigs.

The idea is that you define a “blueprint” using modules, and that then holds all the information needed to generate the rig. This means that the UI can be kept to a minimum, streamlining the whole rigging process.

For now, like with bipRig, this will only be available to YouTube and Ko-Fi members on the “Tools & Support Access” tier, so click you preferred button below to join and get access today.

If you would like to help the development of these tools please make a donation through my Ko-Fi account or joint the antCGi Club where you will be given early access and can help shape the future of the tool as its being built.
Time to take @valence3dapp onto the iPad and it&rsquo;s a perfect excuse to also test the @pen.tips #PenMat2 and #PenPad (Although the PenPad is for #Procreate) 👍 #3d #digitalart #modeling #3dmodel #subd #subdivisionsurface #subdivisionmodeling #po
