Control your Blender Rigs like a Pro

In this video, Juan Hernandez explains how to automate animations using a custom rig controller. Not only we will take a look on how to set this up, but also showcase some situations where this can be very useful, like a robot arm or a bird and dragon wing.

    Wish I would’ve know about this a few months ago when I was rigging up my low-poly dragon. I made something like this, that was very hackey, which involved duplicated armature bones and copy location constraints on a driver. Having done that, I can safely say that this seems to be a much better solution.

    Beautiful, gave me a lot to think about. Would've been great for my latest project. For one, I used Build-in Function for the characters' secondary motions, which is cute but basic. I also used bone constraints activated by audio levels, but it looks so limited now. Notably, lacking in-between control.
