>Ok first of all, you are getting scam, Pluralsight AKA skillshare is a scam, the person is not a real rigger.

okay who is a real rigger and what resource isn't a scam and provides the necessary insight to properly implement joints, weights, constraints, and scripts to solve problems? i can think of it logically on my own, but i hit roadblocks on translating my own process to a specific package/environment.

>Second, you added bones that should not be added because weight painting exist. I'm sure a SFX person can say you can do something better but I as a rigger say you are doing dumb things that would be easier in another area of 3D modeling.

how can i weight paint in a way that i can preserve volume around the knee joint like that webm shows? not only is it preserved, but the hamstring volume is also filling the surrounding space when pressed in due to the helper joint spreading outward. any resource that covers this would be appreciated.

>3rd, don't be like that guy above you, doing dumb stuff like not attaching a full body skeleton to the model. If you feel like it doesn't work then it means you either got the bones in the incorrect spot or you can't do that in a human body. Model also becomes a issue but that is if you are using a very bad model and not something that comes up. I don't know your model but looks like it is not the model, it's you doing bad things.

I don't quite follow regarding "not attaching a full body skeleton". are you referring to the joints not being parented to the same root in a cohesive manner?

>lastly, just in case anyone or you ask. helper joints are used in cloth, extra arms, monsters, odd animals, birds, etc...

then how do you warp body landmarks in a way that makes them preserve volume in multiple axes? I don't mind using blend shapes too, but if i can get partially there without them, i want to do so i can expand my knowledge set in case a client states something isn't an option.

I can just keep analyzing i guess.
