Bendy Limbs Rig: an awesome rigging tool for Cinema 4D

Eyedesyn is a motion graphics blog providing tutorials, tips, and resources to equip motion designers with the tools and knowledge to stay inspired. They offer various tools to help your 3D workflow easier, including Bendy Limbs Rig. Bendy Limbs Rig for Cinema 4D is an intuitive, simple, flexible, and fast way to rig and animate all types and styles of characters.

Let’s explore this amazing tool with iRender today.

Bendy Limbs Rig for Cinema 4D is the quickest and easiest way to rig and animate all types of cartoony bendy arm/rubber hose style characters. This is rigging for non-riggers, meaning you don’t have to worry about all those intimidating and complex rigging concepts.

You will get all them bendy arm/leg characters with separated limbs rigged in seconds by simply placing markers on your object to define where your characters’ body parts are, then add them to their corresponding body groups (head/torso/legs/feet/arms/hands). Then you are off and running animating your fully rigged 3D character.

This is a non-joint rig, so no laborious weight painting. Bendy Limbs Rig has already helped many folks who have never rigged nor animated a character in their life and given them the ability to easily rig their rubber hose style characters.

Bendy Limbs Rig utilizes the powerful C4D Character Object, meaning it works with CMotion to easily apply a walk cycle in a few clicks. You simply define your limb positions, press a single button to create your rig, drag & drop your separate limbs (head/torso/arms/hands/legs/feet) in their respective controllers. Then you are ready to animate your character.

This is the benefit of building a character with separated limbs and rigging with Bendy Limbs Rig vs. the traditional workflow of having a character made up of one mesh that relies on the laborious weighting and joint rigging workflow.

Aside from being able to easily rig up and animate your rubber hose/bendy limb style characters, there is a lot of added controls like the ability to adjust arm and leg bend sharpness, advanced controls for total control over the tapering & curvature across your characters arms, legs, torso, and head, as well as wrist bend and limb parenting controls.

In addition, Bendy Limbs Rig uses the powerful Character Object with full CMotion support to create an animated walk cycle to your characters.
