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.
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)
Fine tune each joint with the twist controls.
