Advanced Rigging Tutorials

[scott-kletzka]

I'm looking to improve my character riggings skills and I was hoping someone could point out some good tutorials online. I'm looking to rig characters similar to Squirrely: http://www.creativecrash.com/maya/downloads/character-rigs/c/squirrely--2

I don't really know much about rigging so I can't really give technical terms as to what I'm looking for, I'm hoping that link will suffice

Hi!

I need some tutorial on knee/elbow sliding along with strechy and individual scaling of both the joints (shoulder/elbow or hip/knee)... pls help me out.

I think you misunderstood me. IM looking for tutorials on rigging. That link is to a character that is rigged in the manner than I would like to learn

I'm not sure if this will help you, but I hope so. Maybe you're beyond that level, I don't know. This is a videotutorial I've been following, and I find it very clear:

@Anne Moody - Thanks! I think that will help

Also, I did some researching on rigging and I think I know what I'm looking for.  I think its an IK FK rig with stretchy limbs and I think clusters are involved as well? Like parenting clusters to control circles? and constraints
