    Awesome! Because of Auto-rig Pro & Quick Rig, I will just stick with Blender then for animation instead of getting iClone 8. I just can't find proper tutorials on retargeting in Character Creator 4 especially when the MOCAP source is from Unity. But with Auto-rig Pro & Quick Rig, they seem to have more support for third-party sources. I will use your affiliate link for Quick Rig. Thanks for the tutorial! :-)

      It's probably something to do with the rest poses of your rigs. You can also use the "interactive tweaks" feature to fix things after the retargeting.

    Personally, I would just create the control rig directly on the sketchfab model using ARP as this would skip many unnecessary steps such as re-assigning materials, exporting/re-importing etc. However, it's still an excellent tutorials, as always.

    • @CGDive

      Sure. ARP has nice weighting features. This video is for people who want to use AccuRig for one reason or another :)

    • @kenalpha3
      @kenalpha3 2 года назад

      What is your goal Engine, UE4/5? I would not use ARP default to weight paint unless you know how to correct the auto generated bones before Applying to Rig or Weight painting. There is a serious error in how he places the Neck bone at the back of the neck (anatomically correct, but not game correct), instead of centered like Mixamo and UE4.
      (I didnt know about this extreme difference until months of working on my character in Blender, and manual Weight paint fixes, after using ARP's.)
      Thus my anims that are retargeted from Mixamo, are wrong at the neck. I had to abandon months of work, and restart the Rigger before it was painted.
      I also had a problem with how ARP's Pin rigger makes Knee/Weights. It generated a knee bone (that I cant rotate or move, not the Ball pole bone). But when my character leg bends, the weights of the knees spike out. And I had no bone (from ARP) to rotate/move to adjust this Weight spike.
      So looking at this vid, I would recommend AccuRig to Rig. (Mixamo is somethings good, but imprecise because the Pinning window is tooo small.)

    Maybe its not a smart question, but why is it useful to rig a character with AccuRig then remapping a Mixamo animation to the character when Mixamo does automatic rigging anyways? Maybe I am failing to see why so if you can clarify that would be amazing! :)

    • @CGDive
      @CGDive  2 года назад +1

      Just answered a similar question. Here is a copy-paste
      -
      AccuRig is a more modern app. The weighting it does may be a bit better and it has advanced features which I'll demo in another video. Its rig also has twist bones in the legs and arms which creates better deformations in the shoulder, wrists, etc. (and the Rigify rig you get from CC Tools makes use of that).
      -
      But if you are happy with what mixamo does (which is not bad), then you can certainly save yourself some work and use mixamo only.

    • @kenalpha3
      @kenalpha3 2 года назад

      It is a smart question for anyone else to read: I wish I had the answer/tech months ago. CG answered why.
      But from a user experience, using Mixamo was fast to get a prototype, but ultimately wasted my time finding solutions to the problems of crotch Weight paints were wrong (when legs run). And other errors because the Pinning window is too small to be precise.
      Even ARP rigging/weighting has failed me. Months wasted. I wish I knew about AccuRig months ago. Correct Twist weights are very important in games/anims.

    9:59 Can you please help? I had to redo my character again, because of bone error. I bought the support package but he hasnt answered me.
    Q1: the TWIST bone that is between Arm and Forearm, is that for Inner-Elbow bend correction? (I do not understand what “Twist” motion he means at the upper arm?? Or does he mean arm rotation = Inner-elbow Weights-fix, which is what I need.)
    Q2: the TWIST bone between Forearm and Hand is for actual twisting (rotating) the hand-wrist correct? (I need to rule out it is not the elbow.)
    1. Because my problem is I have an exotic Rig, pre Weight painted (so I dont want to redo it with AccuRig), but no instructions.
    2. I found the bone that fixes the Weights of the Inner-Elbow, when the arm bends (this elbow bone is in the Upper arm).
    3. When I rotate this bone on the -Z axis, it fixes the muscle flex of the Forearm, but near the Inner-elbow - to fix the bendy straw-arm problem.
    4. But when I SET this bone as the TWIST bone (between Arm and Forearm in Quick Rig), and I rotate the IK arm/hand, it does not fix/rotate this Elbow-fix bone. Or Elbow Correction Axis is wrong??? It's set to Y by default.
    5. I thought I found the answer, and set Elbow Correction Axis to -Z (because that works if I add a keyframe to an anim after rigging, and then -Z rotate this elbow-fix bone). But with Quick Rig this fails.
    6. I spent 20 mins trying all +/- axis, and 2 different elbow bones. Nothing works. Whats wrong?
    7. PS I found similar joint-fix bones (special Weight painted) for the Thigh and Knee bend (like elbow problem). Setting these Thigh and Knee bones as Twists in the Leg for Quick Rig does work (when I move IK foot up, this Knee bone auto rotates to fix the Inner-Knee weights). So I don't understand why IK arms don't.
    8. Undocumented settings has killed my project for 5 months. Ty :(

    Didn't work for me ;s I don't understand why people use AccuRig. Every other way I've created rigs has given me better results.
