How to scale rigged character problems can anyone help?
Make sure the mesh (or all associated meshes) is parented to the armature as an object. Then, scale the armature in object mode and all will be well. Caution must be made regarding particle hair – that still needs to be modified manually to the new scale Thanks for your reply Daren, much appreciated.
What kind of rigging did James Lees use?
James Lees’s Masting and Rigging of English Ships of War says quite emphatically that the aftermost shroud in the gang, sometimes called a “swifter,” was rigged individually with an eyesplice.
Can a mast be rigged to a mizzen stay?
(Exception: sometimes one encounters a rigging plan in which the lower end of the mizzen stay is secured to the mainmast a few feet up from the deck. In a case like that, the mast to which the lower end of the stay is fixed obviously has to be rigged first; you can’t allow a wiggling mainmast to slack off the mizzen stay.)
Which is the first pair to be rigged?
The first pair to be rigged is the foremost pair on the starboard side; the collar forming that pair needs to be the one on the bottom of the stack. Then comes the foremost port pair, then the second pair on the starboard side, the second pair on the port side, etc. That seems to have been a general rule throughout the sailing ship period.
What is the scale of a rigged model?
I rigged my model and I realized that it has a scale of -1 on X axis (left/right). Then if I mirror the model the left bones deform the right and vice versa, I tried “Mirror vertex groups” but it does strange things (seems a buggy function).
How do you apply scale to an armature?
With the armature selected in object mode, apply the scale – ⎈ Ctrl A ->Apply Scale. Then in edit mode select the all bones, ensure there aren’t hidden bones on other layers, and scale -1 on the x axis – S X – 1
Why does armature go to original position in edit mode?
Also , Edit mode doesn’t effect the animation / Pose , so when you go into edit mode , the armature will also go to the objects original position and origin point . Edit mode is only for moving vertices/faces/edges and bone origin placement I had this same problem too! I tried all of these answers but none helped, I finally figured it out.

What should I include in my character rig?
Incorporate Both IK and FK Inverse Kinematics, and Forward Kinematics (IK and FK) are both important in your rig. While animators may prefer one over the other, incorporating both systems into your character rig will make it much more user friendly.
Which is better for character rigging IK or FK?
While animators may prefer one over the other, incorporating both systems into your character rig will make it much more user friendly. Having an IK and FK switch in your arms will give the animators the flexibility to use whichever one is best for that particular shot.
