A modulated version of Auto-rigger will be delivered based on my previous version of the project (AutoRigger 1.4, designed solely for biped character). This new version of autoRigger will allow users to procedurally create working rigs for ideally any types of creature. It has flexible control of input to get custom output rigs.

16-Week schedule (8/19/19-12/14/19):

System Overview:

Module: the basic blocks that build the rig

Example:

• base module
• finger module
• limb module
• spine module
• head module

Template: the commonly used rig segment that consists of more than one module

Example:

• hand template (N* finger + 1* base)
• arm template (1* hand + 1* limb)
• leg template (1* foot + 1* limb)
• biped template (2* arm + 2* leg + 1* spine + 1* head)
