AUTO BALL RIGGING TOOL

DESCRIPTION
✅It's called the 'Auto Ball Rigging Tool' but it can be used for making any kind of squash and stretch system.
✅It comes with two Squash and Stretch controls, a master control, with volume factor, and two global controls. The Master Control also comes with an adjustable pivot (that is not showcased in the video but it's present).
✅It can be used to make simple ball rigs in less than 2 minutes and the Squash and Stretch system can be used to develop various other creatures and props.
✅I have used two different types of balls for a demo, but this tool can be used in creatures and prop rigging as well. You can use it to make a local rig having Squash and Stretch controls and add it as a Blend Shape to the Global rig.
✅It provides a rig with better controls, amazing flexibility, and saves a lot of time.
✅It's not a script that you will use in every rig but it comes in handy when developing a high-end rig and you're already running out of time.
✅Rest, it depends upon your creativity on how and where you can use it😉
