Hi folks,
I have rigged a character using the advanced biped template tool and during my clean up stage I want to get rid of subtle “pops” in the arm and legs ( knees). I am an Animation Mentor and Ianimate alumni and in their rigs, there where controllers to stretch out the legs and arms to carefully smooth out the pops in my animation.
I know that Cactus Dan’s CA plugin, I was able to select the joint and scale it up slightly and that seemed to help, but for the life of me I’m not able to actually pin point the actual joint and scale it up if my character has been rigged with C4D r17 native advanced biped template tool…even after I make the whole rig editable ( sorry if I sound like a noob).
I am not a rigger and I find C4D’s advanced biped template a God send and would love to hear if anyone has an answer for me.
Thanks
Rodrigo

Hi Rodrigo,

Thanks for the tutorial suggestion.

The main concern that I would have is that the “pops” [as you describe it] might have a reason. It is hard to tell from a few lines vs. a scene file, where the source of that behavior comes from.

To scale things up or down might eliminate the symptoms in a given moment, but might produce a stronger appearance later on, which is a wild guess on my side.

Perhaps you can get in contact with Michele to exchange a scene file, so the expert eventually considered for a tutorial like this, might share the solutions.

My best wishes

Sorry about the extra work.
