Completed Ellie Rigs | Major

The rigs for Ellie are finally complete. I've had some issues with not fully understanding the tutorials for the 2D rigging.

Unfortunately I had to scrap my first set of rigs as the joints were too far apart and this had caused issues with the squash and stretch and other elements of the rig. There were also complicated issues with the controls. I attempted to undo my initial mistakes, however I found that this damaged the rigging more and more and lead to more issues rather than fixing them. For this reason I decided to go back to the skinned characters and redo all the rigging.

I also hadn't accounted for needing to be able to make the skirt move, so I effectively had to give Ellie a tail to control her skirt. The joints created in this would control the skirt vertices. This was not in my initial rigs, and required some re skinning, so ultimately this was a better option. The second time around it also took me half of the time that it took me the first time. This will also make rigging Pugwash easier as I now have a much better understanding of how the 2D rigging process works.
