patience rigging

so i offered to help Chris Caldow's film in the form of rigging. they have their character modelled and UV'd all that is left is for it to be rigged. as they were struggling to find a suitable artist i offered my services alongside chris learning to rig himself.

i began by looking into what the character would be doing, mainly just simple walking, sitting down and use of arms hands and fingers, so i set out to create a simple humanoid rig with some more attention placed upon the hands.

this video was my reference for the characters spine, in order to get a nice arch and amount of control for when the character sits down.
