Once the Control Rig has been attached to the character exported from CC4 successfully,
the hierarchy in the Object Manager will be restructured
The root level group of the character is the CC_Character Null object
The characters geometry is stored inside the CC_GEO Null Object
The root joint of the characters joint hierarchy has been converted to a Null Object and
is stored inside the CC_JOINTS Null Object wich also holds other rig elements and joints of the Control Rig
The controls of the character can be found inside the CC_CTRL Null Object together with some predefined Selection Objects
The geometry and all the other rig elements are also stored on different layers in the Layer Manager to make selecting, hiding or locking certain components easier
By default the 🟦GEO layer is locked and the layers that hold the rig elements are also hidden in the viewport and the object manager so only the control objects are selectable
Important:
Do NOT delete or change the predefined Selection Objects inside the _SELECTIONS_ Null Object as the Visual Selector tag is depending on them. If you need custom selections feel free to create your own and if you dont want to see them in the Object Manager just add them to the HIDE layer in the Layer Manager.
CC4D Control Rig Structure
Default Layer Setup
Control Overview
The control objects are stored in the CC4_CTRL Null Object starting with the
🟢MASTER_CTRL+ wich holds all the other controls
The transformation of all control objects has been frozen after the Control Rig setup
so they can easily be reset to their initial state with the Reset Transform command
Some of the control objects have additional parameters wich can be accessed in the Attributes tab or the Viewport HUD when the control object is selected
The control objects with additional parameters also have a 'Reset Parameters' button to reset all parameters to their default value
The 🟢MASTER_CTRL+ has a 'Reset All Parameters' button to reset the parameters of all control objects to their default value at once
All control objects have predefined Keyframe Selections on their keyable parameters and transformations to only record the necessary tracks when auto keying is enabled or when recording more than one control at once
Additional Parameters and Visual Selector tag on the MASTER_CTRL+
Keyframe Selections and Reset All Parameters button of the MASTER_CTRL+
To make selecting control objects easier there is Visual Selector tag wich can be accessed through the 🟢MASTER_CTRL+ or the viewport HUD when any of the control objects is selected
Through the VS tag all of the control object can be selected as well as some predefined selection 'sets' with multiple controls for different parts of the body
The visibility parameters of the 🟢MASTER_CTRL+ can also be driven through the VS tag
There are 3 groups of control objects each consisting a set of primary controls
as well as some secondary controls:
🟡Spine Controls
Arm Controls - 🟠left & 🔵right
Leg Controls - 🟠left & 🔵right
