Hello everyone!
I’m testing mGear for a project, and it seems that mgear has different orientations for joints and controls.
How do I go about exactly matching the orientations of the controls so they are same as joints orientations?
Thank you!
Hi welcome!
So just to clarify, mGear is the framework. Shifter is the rig. And a Shifter rig is made up of a bunch of components. Each component is different, so it depends which components you are using. Some have settings that can help. Some do not.
Some of the components have Orientation Offset values in the guide settings.
All of the components are open source. And easier than making one from scratch, you can consider cloning one as a custom component, and modify it to be the orientation you want. (If you’re comfortable with Python.)
And some people match an existing skeleton to the rig, and connect them.
The control_01 component is just a basic FK control + joint. That’s the easiest component that can simply match perfectly.
(There might be other answers too.)
