Creating a Character Rig - Part 22: Basic Twist Arm (Advanced)

(Note: Due to the custom nature of this rig, it's really ideal for film / tv / animation. For a rig more optimized for video games, go here instead:    • Realtime Creature Rigging Workshop  ) Files used: http://areadownloads.autodesk.com/wdm...

*CORRECTION*: Here are some better, updated values compared to what's shown in the video for the Advanced Twist Controls for leftUpperArm_HDL
Forward Axis: Positive X
Up Axis: Positive Y
Up Vector: 0, 1, 0
Up Vector 2: 0, 1, 0
World Up Object: leftUpperArm_result_JNT
World Up Object 2: leftForeArm_result_JNT

For the ForeArm_HDL, set the World Up Objects to leftForeArm_result_JNT and leftHand_result_JNT respectively.

NOTE 2: Squash/Stretch in the included scene files (arms/legs only) is broken for versions of Maya past 2013. You can download the fixed version of the completed rig in part 32.

This movie shows you how to create a basic twisty arm using principles you learned when building the torso.
