This is a python tool for creating a bipedal IK/FK character rig. The skeleton is structured based on Unreal 4's 'Mannequin' character. The script is roughly ~5000 lines in length. This project was completed over the months August - September (after 3 months of prior research into Python scripting).

​

A great deal of the rigging methodology was created following this video series:

​

Pros

1. ​Can be generated in less than 7 minutes

2. Shared naming conventions and joint positioning as Unreal's Mannequin

3. Clean hierarchy - easy for exporting animations later.

Cons

1. Limited to bipedal characters following Unreal's joint hierarchy

2. No face controls
