Minecraft rig for Hitfilm that I have been working on
So if any of you remember me on this forum (most likely not) you might remember when I showed a preview of a Minecraft rig that I had been working on in Hitfilm. Well, long story short, I scrapped the old project and started over again. I managed to get even better results this time, with better arm and leg bends and also less need for manual adjustments.
Just like in the original version, you can easily change the skin to your own by relinking the skin PNG file, only this time you no longer have to worry about blurry skins (just make sure you resize your mc skin in a photo editing software to "2160x2160")
If you have any suggestions on how to improve this rig please lmk in the replies/comments!
(For anyone wondering, this was done on Hitfilm EXPRESS with 0 addons)

How did you do this with no add-ons?

It's mostly just masking and parenting. The hardest part of making this rig was the bends due to the lack of effects because I use express. At first (with the original rig) I tried using the twirl effect. The issue with this is that the bends were not great unless I did some manual adjustment, which isn't ideal for stuff such as animation.
I then decided with this remake to use the displacement effect, where I made a composite shot of a plane with a bunch of gradients and set it as the displacement map

@CleverTagline twice in two weeks one of them "young punks" came up with something I wish I'd thought of. 😉

I would advise you to find a great new faction server to play with your friends!

@pippasmith I have a few issues with your comment:
- This thread isn't about Minecraft. It's about creating a Minecraft character in HitFilm.
- This thread hasn't been in active discussion for six months.
- Your comment was posted one minute after you joined the forum.
All of that makes it feel a bit suspicious (like a bot), so please reply to confirm that you're not.
