RHiggit! is a set of tools and templates for creating and working with robust, intuitive, animator friendly character animation rigs in Newtek LightWave 3D.

Basically... an it’s an auto-rigger.

Letting you do in minutes what would otherwise take hours or even days to set up, RHiggit! offers solid “any pose” IK, with seamless IK/FK switching, squash and stretch control and great deforms with just a few simple weightmaps, on a huge array of different characters. Best of all it features an all native LightWave rig, meaning that once a character is rigged, no plugins are needed and it can be used across multiple installations and platforms, as well as allowing for custom alterations and additions.

Easy enough for Noobs, and poweful enough for Pro’s, RHiggit! delivers unlike anything else, making it THE tool for character rigging in LightWave.

 

“This auto-rigger truly takes advantage of everything LightWave has to offer and has features that free you to focus on your animation instead of having to fight to achieve certain poses, the shoulder rig alone is worth the price.

This toolset is without a doubt a game changer for the LightWave  user base”.

- Willaim “Proton” Vaughan -

Compatability

RHiggit! is compatible with LightWave 3D versions 9.6 and higher. It features all native Lightwave rigs, and the plug-ins are based in LScript, making it compatible on all platforms, Win, Mac, 32 and 64.

However... Owing to certain bugs present in LW itself, the rig templates will NOT load under LW for Mac 64 (though 32 is fine), and also the Advanced Biped template is incompatible with either Mac version. Since these are issues inside of LW, there is nothing that can be done on the RHiggit! side to fix these issues at this present time.
