Hi Dustin,

I just bought your plugin today and unfortunately realized that you can't set up quadrupeds with advanced rapid rig. I did a quick google search and found this post you made on March 25th, 2010:

"Hi Kiran,

A quadruped is definitely something I will be doing, but at this point, I want to work out all the bugs in my current biped rig before modifying it for a quadruped. Otherwise I will have to fix bugs in two different rigs when I find them.

Once I finish my features for my full version of this rig, I will begin working on the quad."

Is this something that will be implemented soon? Really need this for my four-legged character :P

Thanks, Dustin!

Best,
Bill

Hi Bill,
I am working on a modular rigging tool instead of a quapruped right now. The modular rig can be used for bipeds, quadrupeds and almost any other combination of limbs. It is not quite ready yet, as it is a much more complex system than the Rapid Rig Advanced.

I am still working on features and fixing bugs but once it is more stable I will be making it available :)

I know some users have had success positioning RRA into a quapruped position, although it is would be limited in some of the nice-to-have quadruped features. They were able to add to it to make it work to satisfy their needs.

I am currently on holidays and I only have my iPhone to communicate with, so I apologize if those message is full of spelling and grammar mistakes :)

Hi Dustin,

Hope you are having a good holiday, and thanks for the response!

Will this modular rig be available as a Rapid Rig Advanced update? Looking forward to this and hope it will be soon :)

Best,
Bill

Happy New Year Dustin!

Good to hear you're still working on more Rapid Rig tools.

Looking forward to buying it when you're ready.

Have a great holiday!

I haven't quite figured out how I will approach distribution of the new tool. I definitely don't want to get rid of Rapid Rig Advanced because it is still better suited for quickly creating bipeds.

The modular rig is much more flexible in what it can do, but the trade-off is that it requires more setup time and is more complex.

Having an option to buy each individually as well as a bundle may be the way to go, but then that means having three different places to keep track of bugs/feature requests, etc.

For now, I am going to try and get the tools done and then I can figure out the distribution logistics :)
