Hey! I didn't necessarily plan to make a video on Control Rig but here's one! I wanted to give Control Rig a fair try to see if it'd fit the requirements for a personal project of mine, and upon reading the documentation, exploring demo content released by Epic and watching tons of Youtube tutorials, I realized I may have something to bring to the table after all.
Thus, in this video, I first make a fast introduction to Control Rig, then I do a breakdown of a complex IK/FK spine, a switchable IK/FK arm and an in-game leg IK setup.
I tried to be as descriptive as possible but some rigs are quite complex, so be prepared. Hopefully this video helps in some way in your own Control Rig journey :)
Thanks for watching and thanks for the support! Cheers.
