KineFX 101 – pt. 23: Flower 01: Petal
Added 2022-11-25 08:24:35 +0000 UTCIt's finally time to build a big rig. A really big rig. Over the next 4 to 5 episodes we will create a flower setup that is completely build around KineFX. This means you get a fully rigged flower in the end, which is fully compatible with rig pose nodes, inverse kinematics, motion clips, rig attribute vops, wrangles and so on.
The setup we are building is highly modular, so you can easily remove, modify or replace parts to fit your own needs.
In this episode we're starting with a single rigged petal. Over the upcoming weeks we'll cover copying it and shaping the blossom, creating details like the stem, sepals and stamen, combining everything into one single rig and animating and simulating our flower opening.
This setup builds on lots of techniques introduced in previous flower projects. These two talks in particular sparked a lot of ideas for this setup:
Simulating flowers with Vellum (XK Studio)

Hey! There will be five episodes in total, which will be released on a biweekly schedule, like all KineFX content. That way I'll get some downtime over the holidays, while all of you get new episodes ;)
