Hey, this seems to be a great and powerful rig but I can't find any IK/FK switches. There are FK control bones on one of the hidden armature layers but no bones to animate the arms or legs in FK on the visible Armature Layers.

And I have one more question. What ist the second Head control bone (HeadCTRL.2) for?

Sorry, I found the IK FK Switch. I searched all the time on the wrong places ;)

Great job!

I have seen you have fixed the problem rotating root bone in Z axis that you had in version 1.0, besides, you have animated IK/FK swith.

I love the face controls !!

I have tested the rig and it's great, but there are two points that would get the best rig for body mechanics:

1) If you scale the rig, the character is not correct, specially for small size. Maybe you can use root bone. 2) Add buttons to copy FK/IK position (and IK /FK too). This would be great.

I like the flag to indicate if the legs/arms are scale or not.

Anyway, the rig is fantastic and you did a great job.

This rig is fantastic. I really like the simplicity, yet he can convey so much emotion. I have a few questions about him though. I got him all linked in properly, including the two python scripts. He works flawlessly, but I can't find the FK/IK switch anywhere. Can someone help me out?

EDIT: I found it. For any future users, the properties for FK/IK only appear in the properties panel when you select the root manipulator (the 4 way arrow around his feet). Thanks!

Hi, really like the rig, many thanks. It's helping me a lot to learn animation in Blender. I do have one question though, which is probably to do with my lack of knowledge than an issue with the rig but... if I make of him, they can both move their limbs independently excpet for the spine. This is controlled by the original rig - I think the cagegraber mesh deform is the issue?? Just guessing here, sorry. Like I say I'm still learning. Any ideas how I can make this part invidual for both rigs in one scene?

Ok, never mind, all sorted. It was simply down to hidden/protected layers.

Hey, I don't think this rig works with the newest version of blender, I couldn't run the scripts.. is there a chance you could update it?

How to use hector is still too difficult for me. With no choice but to practice, badland is also one of those projects that I need to rework a lot.
