hi everyone :)

i haven't done a setup in about 4 years and so i am lost here.
i have a model with a skeleton already but what i need is a simple to follow (beginner) tutorial for adding control nulls, ik limits, etc.
i found and used one years ago and got great results but darned if i can find it now.

any help there is appreciated, thanks.

Hi Andromeda_girl, pleased to make your acquaintance. I hope these suggestions point you in the right direction.

I don't know if you were aware of this site:

It is a collection of links to various tutorials around the Web specifically for LightWave. I think you might want to check out this link first:

You can also visit the SpinQuad forums to check out this thread:

Digiwonk's free rigging videos for LW have also been recommended. You should be able to find them here:
http://www.kurvstudios.com/free_tutorials/ (http://www.kurvstudios.com/free_tutorials/)

I hope that will give you what you need. If all else fails, just ask your specific questions in the LightWave forum here on CGTalk. I think you would get plenty of help, because I always have. :)
