APEX Rigging | H20 MASTERCLASS

In this masterclass, William Harley shows us how to rig in APEX. He begins by creating a simple rig using Components (scripts) and Subgraphs (similar to HDA's). Once the essentials are explained, we take a look at a more complex rig and how it was created (the Chicken rig, which you can download and follow along). While the Chicken rig is not shown "from scratch" (pun maybe intended), all the key essentials as pole vector, look-at constraints, neck/spine, pose blends, control shapes and output, are reviewed.
