How to Rig G3 and G3-360 Character Heads in Cartoon Animator
Now that you've learned the Fast, Easy Way to Rig and Animate Your First 2D Custom Character in Cartoon Animator Without Complicated Templates, and you've Upgraded Your First Character Three Ways, let me show you the final steps to make you character a STAR!
In the third part of my Easy Character Rigging series you'll learn how to use your character's morph-based head to generate all the sprites you need to create a fully rigged G3 Standard head. I'll then show you how to convert your standard G3 Head into a standard G3-360 head with the ability to look left and right and still look great!
Also included is a specially made bonus video that will show you how to turn your front facing character into a side facing character, using AI to generate the body sprites you'll need instantly, that you can add your G3-360 head and bone hands to.
No one else teaches my easy way to rig a character in Cartoon Animator, using a single character image. In just over four hours of video training you'll have added a more posable, versatile, G3-360 head to your front facing character, and rigged a complete side facing version of your character too .
