This is my 2nd character that I've created with blender 2.5. This is the first that I've rigged, it has some issues with the weight paint but I'm still learning.
The foot rig is based on Tob's tutorials (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tApdSx_4b0Q&videos=1W2tbu_8Hqw)
The hand rig is based on Jonathan Williamson's tutorial (http://www.blendercookie.com/2010/05/13/rigging-easy-to-animate-fingers/ original tutorial in Russian from Dimetri http://vimeo.com/10685206)
Thanks I hope you don't mind if I use it as a reference rigging is tough and I have learned a lot from inspecting others rigs. ")
this is a vary nice character/rig! Are you going to make more characters like this or was this a standalone model?
Thanks! I don't have plans for doing more like this one, sorry for that :P
Very good work !
