Re: akeytsu animation software demo
I agree, rigging as an specialization will be replaced by tools in the next 5-10 years (and riggers will move to development or other disciplines). We have already seen several algorithms to create armatures based on the mesh shape, there are tools to convert delta mush like deformations to simple linear skinning (easing the weighting process significatively) and there are no doubts that sculpting will make their way into rigging. Films/VFX productions present a totally different scenario, but we are going towards simulation anyways so it eventually will be automated too. And all of this is available today! I'm pretty sure we will finally see/be-part of a change on the rigging paradigm. Exciting times ahead :) I agree, rigging as an specialization will be replaced by tools in the next 5-10 years (and riggers will move to development or other discipline).

Re: akeytsu animation software demo
Minute 14 onwards explains quite a bit about rigging and seems you won’t need the complexity of our current rigs after all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74eSHxwoGdQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74eSHxwoGdQ Regarding “need to build specific rigs” isn’t more a film requirement than commercials where we simply don’t have time to rig properly in many cases in the first place. Still is quite a bit of speculation on both sides, I am quite interested though in moving away from building rigs and more into animating more. jb On 23 Feb 2015, at 13:37, Mario Reitbauer cont...@marioreitbauer.at wrote: Well I am quite sure Akeytsu isn't really for everyone out there.

Re: akeytsu animation software demo
AFAIK there's no hidden rig, they are keying bones/joints directly. The only rig-like reference is the IK effector, they can't really stick with the manipulator approach because of IK pinning between keyframes. It's not difficult to code as long as you have access to manipulators (and users don't mind to use a especialized version while animating), raycast + get max weighitng at face (barycentric coord) + bypass selection to the joint.

Re: akeytsu animation software demo
I was looking forward to this one too. They wanted to release in fall last year, but are delayed as it seems. From its description it looks like a technical preview of what could be achieved with Fabric's Kraken one day, at least as far as encapsulation and rig complexity is concerned :-) There is also this: http://en.esotericsoftware.com/spine-in-depth but it's strictly 2D. Yes !!! i was looking for this the other day, but couldn't remember the name.
