Almost there just some fine "tooning" and /or tweaking new8e.mov Thanks for watchiing

Played a little with the TSM and rigging decided will need a little more time than I have in one evening will also have to add a few more things to the model so he can blink his eyes and get a mouth control but for your enjoyment from this rough attempt here is something to watch 1stattempttorigwithtsm.mov simple action repeated 3 times while rotating model which will explain the jerking wiggling some bones into place with the rig not as easy as I remember ................................... found out what I was doing wrong getting close now

This may take sometime so I threw in a couple of bones and added a sound just for fun quicktrial.mov

Any suggestions on which rig to use on this ....an area that usually take awhile at least for me now with a little color
