Here is the character model for the next free rig I will make available here. Should be done in a month or so depending on my work load.

It was great fun working on this. Go Z truly rocks for modeling.

Edit: Rat just got featured in the editors pick section over at Cg Hub! Thanks Cg Hub! :D

Spiderbot

It’s alive!

Spiderbot is the first in a series of rigs I will make available here. Feel free to download and use it for your projects and reels.

Spiderbot rig is designed with speed in mind. Controls are fairly simple but you can get some nice performances out of him. The mesh smoothing controls are located on the Spiderbot Global Position control.

Hope you guys enjoy it and drop me a line if you do a animation with him, I would love to see it!

Cheers,

Ali

Here are some of the MEL scripts I use daily. I will keep updating the list. They really help speed up your workflow considerably.

•Pose2Shelf: An extremely useful script to save poses and selection sets to the shelf. Download here.

Abx Smart Key:  Filter tools for the graph editor and the timeline. This is one of the best scripts I have seen. It makes selecting  attributes extremely simple. Download here.

Bohdon Sayre’s Mel Scripts: Excellent tools for animation. I especially like his ghosting script. Download Here.

•mMirror Pose: A simple pose mirroring script which help a lot when doing cycles. Download Here.
