Rigging a character special situation

with this character i tried to emulate the anime style which i think came out pretty well



the problem is in order to get the black outline like i did i used a duplicated mesh with inverted normals and a shadeless black color and backface culling enabled. this obviously presents problems with rigging this character. so how should i go about it? i have my own ideas but i wanted to get a more experienced users input as i am still fairly new to rigging.

If you want a quick result, the simplest is to use rigify for the rig and freestyle for the black outline (2 meshes isn’t a good idea). Look tutorials on the net…

Simply if it’s only for the black outline, freestyle is enough don’t you think ?

Of course is your advise in this situation the right one and i am not sure if inverted normals cause problems for skinning.

I was just curious about your expirience ,you know i run often in the wrong direction and i am happy if i can avoid some errors

I have exactly the same problem ^^
You know I am a true handyman ! I always try to make it simple, and I have only one rule : does it works ? yess ! if so, it’s cool, I’m a happy man :slight_smile:
