So in the last part I showed you guys the Fake Ribbon on a chain now I'm trying it on a character.
The Fake Ribbon is an alternative to using out of the box constraints to mimic the behaviour of a follicle based ribbon setup.
Is i explained the reason i'm doing this is the joint depth in a character especially in video games, Follicles also have flipping, scaling, and general transform issues.
I have personally found this method just as good easier to manage as its using vanilla Maya constraints.
In this example i have added the same setup on the chain. only this time i have made sure to line up the controls with the twist joints.
I then apply the same method only skipping the x axis on the aim constraints and parent constraints.
This ensures later i can hook up my no flip arm setup, as shown below.
Thats the setup im using here, i have tested it with animators. So far so good. Keep me posted if anything breaks. Happy Rigging. Jase
