I've seen lots of different ways to do
rigging and just wondered what method you use.
To be honest Dave, I've never look at ways of doing things, be it videos, magazines, whatever. I prefer to figure things out myself. I hope that doesn't come over as conceited or 'pig headed' I just think looking at too many methods would lead to one big headache!
Here's how I tackled the
rigging.
eze line and general purpose glue.
Look at the
rigging plan and keep each piece of line as long as possible.
Glue the first 'anchor point' let this dry ( a few seconds) then string out the thread to the next point - and so on. Think spider's web.(Back and to, back and to) With careful planning, it's surprising just how much you can do with one length of thread!
Then study the
rigging plan again and repeat the above. I had tried to cut individual lengths of
rigging, but found it very difficult to fix the two points.
A good trick shown to me by my late pap, was if you use white thread, place a piece of black card behind the model to show up the thread - vice versa if using black thread. It really works.
As you wrote, I'm sure there are loads of other methods and materials, I just found, with a bit of forward planning, the above method was reasonably quick and straight forward.
I hope the above will be of some use to you.
