After placing the final joints and leave the rig unbound. Transpose Master helps transfer your selected pose to the full subtool or the whole character. Translating pose to other subtools connected to the rigged base mesh or main subtool using the ZPlugins->Transpose Master->TPose|SubT command. These would create a follow-through and whipping actions to any major movement of the body such as an animated jumping jack. Other parts that can be affected and may require extra zSpheres would be hair and clothing. On the other hand, the buttocks would be affected by the root, the waist or sternum, and lower body movements. Upper body movement along with root and the waist or sternum affects or influences the breast area. With female bipedal SubTool, we need to take into account areas of the body that would be influenced by gravity’s effect on the body such as the breasts, and the buttocks. Transpose Master is used to translate the main SubTool movement to the other subtools of the mesh such as hair and clothing. Additional ZSpheres and Transpose Master Additional ZSpheres are needed for hair, breasts, buttocks, and waist. Posed base mesh with capped joints shows realistic movement in neck, shoulders, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, and ankle. These caps are used to create a more natural motion in the rig or main SubTool when posed in lieu of Maya’s painting skin weights to increase, decrease or remove a joint’s influence on the main geometry. Caps must be placed as close to the main joints such as possible. Since ZBrush doesn’t use weights, it uses a technique of adding more joints into the rig or Caps to manage joint influence on the meah. Repeat until you created all the blendshapes you require.Ĭapping is ZBrush way of creating a more natural movement of the base mesh or SubTool.Turn off recently created layer to snap character back to original pose.For example, Left_KneeBendClick Record.Pose the rig. Name the layer to match the action, joint, and orientation of the movement. Scroll down tool palette and select “Layer”. (In depth article “Part II: Rigging in ZBrush-Managing Multiple Poses”) Create Multiple Poses using the BlendShape Workflow we learned in class.On Toolbar, click ZPlugin->TransposeMaster->TPose|SubT.Pose the Transpose Mesh then transfer the pose to the original mesh and its accessories.Bind the ZSphere to the Transpose Mesh.Using Transpose Master to translate pose or action to the rest of the parts or subtools of the model such as clothes and accessories on the main rigged subtool.Create Transpose Mesh by go to the Menubar->Zplugin-> Transpose Master-TPose Mesh.Transfer pose to the rest of the SubTools by using Transpose Master by first creating TRanspose Mesh.Repeat 5, 6, and 7 until you are satisfied with the movement of the model.Test bind by moving joints to pose the character body parts.Hit “x” on your keyboard to activate symmetry.To begin placing ZSphere joints, first resize the first Zsphere and centered inside the mesh then place the rest of the joints for hour mesh.With transparent mode on, place Joints starting with the spine set. In the Tool Menu, Select Zspheres and click on workspace to place 1 ZSphere.Create or use a pre-made Model and load to your workspace.In this post, I will explore the different ways to bind bipedal humanoid female, using a ZBrush preloaded tool as a base mesh, Julie. With ZBrush, we can rig a character using ZSpheres and then bind the skeleton to the model. Different models require different skeletal structure hence a quick study of that creature’s anatomy will be very helpful in placing our joints in the correct places on the model. The process involves creating joints or a skeletal system to serve as an armature within a modeled character, then binding the skeleton to the model. Rigging is the way we control the movements of a character that allows the animator to breathe life into a model.
