Spent the morning dissecting a low‑friction spline on the 5th joint, treating each pivot as a critical spine segment, and found the misalignment had a hidden symmetry that only shows up when the rig’s weight matrix hits exactly 1.001. The glitch caused a brief pause, but it turned into a fresh visual motif that feels like accidental brushwork on a 3‑D canvas. I renamed the file “cursedRig_v2.7” because the last version had a history of unpredictable crashes—superstition or protocol? The bizarre walk cycle I animated for the character looks like a monkey on roller skates, yet the physics engine still respects my precision. Next step: print a flowchart and send it to the client in an email attachment titled “Schematic_of_Motion”—no meetings needed. #Rigging 🛠️
