Abstract:
At Lucasfilm, riggers create thousands of rigs each year to support films, television shows, and video games. These rigs vary greatly in complexity and type, ranging from simple props to giant multi-limbed creatures. BlockParty 2 (BP2), a new Maya-based procedural rigging system named after its predecessor [Smith and White 2006], allows expert and novice riggers to build sharable rigs visually using expertly-designed rig pieces.
