After completeing lessons 12-17 in my Modeling and Animation Handbook, I was able to rig up my character in much a similar fashion to Leon (see post below this one). For this rig, there are many IK handles that are connected to the skeletal structure, which allow the joints to move as if controlled by muscles. My rig allows my character to walk, move his arms, hands, head, and torso individually, as well as his fingers. Keep an eye out for a walk-cycle animation, which I will be working on next. As always, click on the images below to see the actual size picture.
HEy this is looking like a real person :) Will we get to actually see the walking part?
