08/18/2026 – Finally got the leg rig complete!
This was a BEHEMOTH of a lesson. Yowza. Despite everything being something I’d done before just the sheer volume made it a lot to take in. But as can be seen, we have working legs now! I kinda just barfed all of them on screen and put them in a pose, but they’re there.
Something odd that I’ve noticed is with my weight painting and a combination of the switchable parents. Depending on what parents I have set up the rig acts strangely. Not totally shocking when I think about it, but I’ve got to dig a bit more into it myself. My current assumption is that you animate certain actions with one parent and other actions with another, but it won’t make as much sense until I start battle-testing this thing.
Another one is the weight painting. I’m becoming very aware of where my previous weights may have fallen short. Luckily that’s the very next lesson, so onwards!
Also, of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a short video demo:
