Description
Finally rigged and posed. Rigging has always seemed to be super difficult to me. Even after watching BlenderCookie's Rigging a Piston several times it still seemed difficult. But after some trial and error it wasn't really that difficult. I even managed to get the pistons on the legs to behave correctly when he moves. It's not that difficult once you know how to do it, but that is true for everything
They say rigging and posing brings a character to life and that is so true. Seeing something in that static pose, which it's in when you model it, makes it look wrong and dead inside. But move things around, even just a little, makes a big difference.
I still need to add some more stuff to the garage and dirty things up a little, and put some more light on the guy.
Blender used for modeling and LuxRender for rendering.
