Hive Auto-rigger: Improve Posing With Bendy Limbs

Improve your posing with the Hive Auto-Rigger’s new bendy limbs! Add subtle curvature to limbs, or push your toon characters into contorted and exaggerated styles.

Our bendable limbs have been designed for speed/performance and usability.

*Create toon arms and legs with Hive’s bendy limbs.*

sfg — *Hive’s auto-roundess feature gives limbs a curved appearance.*

*Bendy is also useful for tweaking and exagerating poses.*

Our bendy-limbs have been carefully crafted with unique features that set them apart. Take a closer look at the following GIF images for more details.

1. Unlike the majority of other systems, auto-roundness properly preserves the length of limbs:

*Auto-roundness maintains limb length. (tangents show under the hood)*

Additionally there are four layers of controls, primary, secondary, tertiary and individual joint/twists, each bendy set can be shown/hidden individually.

2. The primary controls provide easy curve modification.

In the following example, note how these controls function with auto-roundness in both its active and inactive states.

*Primary controls allow for broad modifications. (tangents show under the hood)*

3. The secondary control fine-tunes the elbow’s placement while also accommodating auto-roundness.

*The secondary control tweaks the elbow position. (tangents show under the hood)*

4. The tertiary controls offer complete control over every tangent. These controls are, in fact, the tangents themselves and can be utilized in conjunction with auto-roundness.

*The tertiary controls are the tangents themselves. (tangents show under the hood)*

5. Finally in the last example, you can take complete control over every joint with twist controls.

*Fine tune each joint with the twist controls.*
