This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.
I have a questioning about orienting the joints so it will be easier to animate my character. Do I need to have the x all facing the child joints with y in back? Or do I have all X facing down, Y in back, Z in front? This is my first time rigging a character. Any help would be great.
personally i have x down the chain and z positioned for my main axis of rotation for a limb. Use a script like template skleton LE or just look on high end 3d
Honestly I am a noob at orienting rotational axis, but following from what I have read, When creating an IK chain it is best to have the x following the child. When creating FK chain it is best to have Y following the chain. The other axis will follow the world axis.
