this rig is way too slow but low res work perfectly. Maybe just keep the low res for acting, then when facial expression comes into place, just switch back to high res for it.
So far, the low res serves well.
It's a good looking character, a bit slow, but workable.
However, it needs more refine on the FK controls for the arms.
1. Arms need to be able to turn to World, Root, shoulders space (both IK and FK)
2. Pelvis should rotate from where pelvis rotates - waist line.
3. Head should be able to turn to World, Root, shoulders space as well.
Neck I don't care much about.
Too bad, I thought of using it for teaching, but with IK arms not controllable it's too troublesome to use.
The facial controls are way too slow as everyone so far has stated....but the over all look and control of the body seems very good. Adding a facial GUI, like what the MooM rig has, would help also.
Similar to Bishop? Hardly. It barely looks like it. Azary is a clear ripoff of Bishop, but this looks original ENOUGH that there shouldn't be argument.
I've been animating for over a decade, I know who Dee is. None of your logic is making sense to me. Really I could care less, I use my own rigs, thank god I made mine before bishop was out there, otherwise people might say I copied him, thankfully, according to you, i'm ok, since he was made before AM existed. I made another one though, after AM was around, so I better throw that one away. Good logic, huh?
The head and face controls drag. Perhaps its related to blend shapes on a single mesh? If you detach the head or detach the head and re attach the head with different deformation order there would be no drag.
but the model is too heavy even in 0 smooth of high resolution (even on my PC intel quad core) especially during facial animation, try to make it more light otherwise facial animation is impossible to do with this rig
