Your New Best Friend

In advance of your walk-cycle-poses assignment, I am posting this character file for you to begin experimenting with. He comes in two flavors, hero and villain. I leave the symbolic color coding up to you.

(Right click an image and Save As to download the corresponding file.)

A few basics about this rig: Red controls are IK and Blue controls are FK. Many of the controls are more complex than the basic Translate / Rotate / Scale channels, so look in the Channel Box for custom attributes. To use them, either type in new numbers or select the number then click + drag your Middle Mouse Button in the view pane to use that channel as a Virtual Slider. Don't worry about the assignment at first: just go nuts with the rig until it starts to make sense. Enjoy!
