How the hell do I rigg this??

#1

OK, I modeled this and placed some controllers on this sucker…N:eek:W WHAT?
Where the heck do I start, what’s the best way to rigg this? Any ideas or tutorial links are gladly welcome.

its a nice idea to have controllers in the scene so you know what kind of motion you are looking for, but the basic setup for a mechanical rig is placing the joints and testing on how they behave and if they behave in the way you want

parent the geometry to the joints to see if the motion is correct, if not, move the bones around.

when that basic setup is done (and clean) then you can think about how to let the controllers influence the joints.

there are more then enough tutorials on these subjects, main things you need to know is joints, ik handles and constraints
