Animating Insect Man

[higginsdj]

Hi guys. I can't seem to get the insect man model to work. With constraints on I can move his arm at the elbow but only rotate the bicep in one axis. I'm used to rigs with Nulls to animate IK arms and Legs or FK rigs that allow me to at least move the bones. When I set the Drag to animate eveything in IK I can't seem to get any movement in the arms and legs.

 

I guess I am missing something but can't work out what.

 

Using AM version 10.4r, 11.0, 11.1b

 

Cheers

I think that model, which is also on the Hash CD and/or on Wegg's site, is rigged with either the AM 2001 rig or the Wegg rig, which are much the same. We don't support those rigs, or use them. Justin used it for his disk because he liked the model and the face was already rigged.

 

That said, Raf might have some insight here, so i'll draw his attention to this.

Hmmm...I'd done some tweaks on the rig from what the Eggington crew had originally made, but I never tested it post-tweak. I'll dig into it and see what I can do about fixing it...
