Tips for Creating a Rig Easier

[MonsterIosHotel 288]

It's been a long time since a posted a topic here...

 

Okay, so I've found some tips for easier rigging:

 

• Add the grid
  
  Sometimes it's hard to position stuffs when rigging using items and block right? Well now, with the new (no so new) Mine-Imator 1.0.0 Demo we could add the grid. 
  
  

  For moving one pixel     : 1
  For moving one block    : 16 (Default)

   

  NOTE   : I recommend 0.5 for half-pixel because it's more precise.
   

• Create your own scale unit ! (sorta)
  
  I've tested some scales that are might be useful for rigging, just like the 'Grid' one.
  
  For one pixel scale  : 
  

  X = 0.0625
  Z = 0.0625
  Y = Depend on what are you rigging

   

  To make the size of two pixels just do a simple math, but I'm just too lazy so I used my pal, Calculator   
  
  

  
  
  For one block scale  :
  

  Default duuh   

   

  
   

• Choose a style you prefer
  
  Some people loves the new Mine-Imator Circles, Cylinders, Round Stuffs, and friends of them, but some doesn't. Choose your own style to create your rig, in Minecraft-y Style, pixels, boxes, and etc, or use the round stuffs.
   

• Use Schematics
  
  From some theories, I got this equation:
  

  Love building in Minecraft + Have a good computer  + Mine-Imator + MCEdit or Mine-Imator Import = Schematic

  
  
  Schematics are used if necessary, when you think the shape is pixel-y round or something that are hard to make in Mine-Imator or Photoshop/Paint.NET/GIMP. Just remember dat 'equation' I made.
  
  NOTE   : For now I recommend MCEdit, because you could use 3D view of your world and precise cropping.

 

 

That's all for now, If you have other stuffs to tell me I would be happy

Hope this helps!​
