TBM RBF Pose Editor
This Amazing tool TBM_RBF_POSE_EDITOR is based on Sebastien Potet's RBF plugins (RIGOMATIK), to get better and more effecient and simple way to drive poses than the native Maya RBF nodes.
A year ago, The Beast Makers started the rigging of the 23 main characters for the TAT productions movie "Falcon Express" that should be released next year.
The body deformation quality expected was incredible !
So to be able to edit quickly the poses shapes of we tried to imagine a fast and non destructive way to add highend deformations available for animators !
This was first prototype done by Christophe Petit without RBF solution. The result was really nice !
So to automate this, when Sebastien has join the team with his tool set we decide to make it really reshapable with a UI. RBF involve so many transforms to handles all poses that it was necessary for us to get a strong editor.
Of course We where so happy to be able to do shaping process live with TAT animation director, and his team that we couldn't wait to go futher!
A few weeks later we implement an autoSkin tool as an extension TBM RBF Pose Editor !
Bravo to the amazing developer team for this job :Gabriel Akpo-Allavo, Sebastien Potet (Rigomatik), Yoann Dano, Christophe Petit.
