I Really started to make this Robot for grand daughter. Got Side Tracked  This is what came of it. Need to get back at other stuff. 

[Maniac]

Having Problems Rigging Robot. Things do not work as a robot should. Do I need to learn how to build a Mechanical rig. Is there a lesson On building Mechanical rig. I Have lowered patch count modeling part is done. This is  my weak point trying to wrap my head around RIGGING Models. Most of my Models Are Stuck .I do  Mechanical Modeling. I Really need to learn how to rig properly

[Maniac]

Here he is with Rig in him Dose not  work right  for some stuff the torso head neck works fine. But when it comes to leg and arm movement things do not work as  I want .I Try a few different things with a fail. I did not use shoulder bones  figured it would not help  

[robcat2075]

There are several solutions to this problem.

Try this sample. move the Body and Feet bones around in the Chor and tell me if this is the behavior you are looking for,

I was just playing Around If  I go Into Bone Property in action window I get what I want  just Rotate in Axis in property Needed to use shoulder bones for Rotation of shoulder Sockets Added A Bone For Hip Socket Rotation. Do not no if this is Proper But seems to work I have to play around A bit Longer. And Thank you I will Give that A try after I am done messing around With  what I got going   

[Maniac]

Here is My first Pose He is A bit Bull legged Some thing I did When I Put the  the rig in Model. I need to fix that Still Playing Around with rig.

Is it Possible to get the 2 hip bones I put in rig to get working like shoulder bones. Hook  up to thigh like Shoulder to Bicep they work fine. I can only get them in with Torso Bone 2001 rig

[robcat2075]

I'm not sure what you are seeking.

Since the robot has those sockets for the disks, the motion of a shoulder bone will take them out of the socket.

[robcat2075]

If you could bring that to Live Answer Time today at Noon CDT we could look at that better.

[Maniac]

I have worked I bit more on Walk cycle

 

 

 

 

[robcat2075]

Hey that looks pretty sharp.

Normally i'd suggest not leaning a character back like that in a walk but for him it kinda works.

[Maniac]

I have  leaning back it just  looked like a nicer walk cycle .I try it the proper way the walk cycle look a bit off. For A robot Walk. It just seem to Look better, The way I did his back like that lean/Trail and error. works for me

  

[Maniac]

I have Be working on Stepping off Charge Station Action have to work on it still  .This is my start Trail and error part

On the "stepping off" motion... you can convey a greater impression of weight by having the body continue downward for a bit after the foot hits the floor.
