Creating Multiple Figures in Blender with Rig JNS Add-On

In this tutorial, we will explore how to effectively utilize multiple figures in Blender using the Rig JNS add-on. This add-on is specifically designed for rigging Genesis figures and animating them seamlessly within Blender. Whether you are creating dynamic animations, facial expressions, or lip sync, the Rig JNS add-on streamlines the process for a more efficient workflow.

Loading Genesis Figures

To begin, load a Genesis figure by navigating to the "Figures" section and selecting your desired figure, such as the Genesis 8 basic female. You can enhance the figure by adding clothing and hair before proceeding to export.

Tweaking Mesh Resolution

Optimize your figure by adjusting the mesh resolution in the parameters pane. Ensure a smooth mesh by setting the resolution level to "Base" for all components.

Exporting Figures

Export your rigged figure by selecting the figure, navigating to File > Export, and choosing your desired output options. Remember to save your file with a recognizable name like "g8f" for easy reference.

Rigging Multiple Figures in Blender

Switch over to Blender and import your Genesis figures using the Rig JNS add-on. Rig each figure by following the sequence: Add Meta Rig > Match Rig > Generate Rig. This process may take a few moments to complete.

Animating Figures

Utilize the animations panel to import animations for your characters. Access external animation sources like Mixamo to download animations that fit your scene's narrative.

Baking Animations

Before tweaking animations, ensure they are baked into Blender. Use the "Bake Animation" feature to effectively integrate animations with your rigged figures.

Adjusting Animations

Make precise adjustments to animations by tweaking individual bones within the animation panel. Fine-tune movements to create a seamless and engaging visual narrative.

NLA Editor for Animation Sequencing

Utilize the Non-Linear Animation (NLA) editor to sequence multiple animations across different figures. Adjust the frame range, repeat animations, and blend transitions for a coherent storytelling experience.

Creating Narrative Sequences

Develop engaging narrative sequences by combining animations for multiple figures. Ensure smooth transitions between actions and refine character interactions for a compelling visual story.

In conclusion, mastering the art of using multiple figures in Blender with the Rig JNS add-on opens up endless possibilities for creating captivating animations and storytelling. Experiment with different animation sequences, refine character movements, and elevate your projects to new heights.
