I'm happy enough with the influence painting to move on to fitting a rig. I want to start with an arm I can place and adjust myself.
I chose an Arm package as the next small case. The first controls would let me place fit joints before building the motion controls.
The proposed package would feed curves into the existing painting workflow. That meant I could reason about fitting and motion as stages of a rig I would actually author.
The painting work was merged. The modular package remained a direction to test, and Charlie’s own rig was still an artist-owned work in progress.
I wanted Codex to help build around the decisions I make while rigging. Starting with one arm gave me a concrete way to judge whether that was happening.
