Was board at 10:00 Pm so i startied playing with this rigged character.. Hes pretty cool his name is lowman and can be downloaded off the net...

The walk still needs some work and weight and some wrist ajustments but not bad for only 30 mins. Tried to give him a bit of a pidgeion toed look.

Nice and easy rig to work with for practising animation.

Hey looks pretty cool so far Kurt. I also just downloaded this rig and have been experimenting with it in class for testing animation ideas. I animated a double bounce type of walk so far, maybe I'll see if I can render out so you guys take a look at it too.

So Kurt what do you think of the rig though? I really like it, it's fairly simple and easy to animate with. I also like the scaling of the limbs and joints before creating the actual connections between the character and the joints. Fun Fun Fun!!!

Not bad at all Kurt. He could bend his right arm just before he falls over (like the arm didn't have enough power to hold him up). Or maybe he could fall over directly to forward...
