Daisy & RigWhiz
Hey Daisy, I was sketching a little willow branch and it got me thinking about how to map a natural branching system to a character rig—like turning each leaf into a control and using the trunk as a central spine. Your knack for spotting beauty in the smallest details could help me name those bones more poetically. What do you think?
Absolutely! Let’s give each bone a gentle, nature‑inspired name. Start the main spine as “Heartwood,” then each major split can be “Bend” or “Sway.” The smaller branches could be “Petiole” and the tiny leaf controls “Whisper” or “Glimmer.” For a bit of whimsy, the very tips could be “Moonbeam” or “Dewdrop.” That way, every bone feels like a living part of a willow, and it’ll be a breeze to remember!
