Course Description

We'll be creating two deformation character-rigs throughout this tutorial. This tutorial will begin by looking at the design of our first character. Next, we'll learn how to rig different parts with curve deformers. We'll then learn how to connect all these deformation-rigged body pieces in the network view through establishing a hierarchy arrangement. After that, we will examine the design of the second character and then begin to rig different body parts using bone deformers. Additionally, we will learn how to adjust bone deformers' articulation points, add deform modules, rig a parameter, and then apply additional deformers on the same layer. We'll end by creating a hierarchy arrangement to accommodate our second character in network view. You will have a lot more fun creating deformer-rigs for your own characters by understanding the powerful deformation tools available to Harmony. Toon Boom Harmony is required.

Skills You Will Gain

What You Will Learn

By understanding these powerful deformation tools that are exclusive to Harmony, you will be able to hit the ground running, creating deformer rigs for your own cut-out-styled characters while having a lot of fun

Finally, we'll finish by creating a hierarchy arrangement for our second character in the network view

Following this, we'll examine the design of our second character and begin the process of rigging different body parts with bone deformers

From here, we'll learn how we can connect all of these deformation-rigged body parts in the network view by establishing a hierarchy arrangement

Software required Toon Boom Harmony

We will also learn how to adjust the articulation points for bone deformers, apply additional deform modules, rig the parameter of a drawing, and apply additional deformers and swap them out on the same deformation layer
