Description:
This is a little character I created for my upcoming free animation tutorials. It has a complete rig with arms and legs with Both IK and FK. The face has all the controls needed to be very emotive and I think its also good enough for basic lip synch.
You can use this model & rig to practice animation, it is really user friendly, very simple yet powerful rig.
You have to credit me if you use it in one of your animation, demo, or commercial project. Anything you guys do with it, I would be really happy if you send me a link to what you've done with it so I can see :)
Happy Blending :)

Written May 09, 2012Rowilson: I speak french and english, but I seriously doubt I will have time to translate any of my tutorials. I do them in english simply because it is the international language.

Edited May 15, 2012Thanks for sharing your model! Its look is pretty cool (I only dislike the fingers which I find too long but that's just me ;)). The rig is nice too, but I don't find it very handy when it comes to bending the fingers; I wanted to ask if using a scale on their controller was the correct method or have I missed a slider or something?
Anyway these are just details, here is a quick walkcycle test I made; it's not perfect (I didn't animate the fingers nor the fins due to a mix of omission and lazyness) but I'm quite happy with it as a test. Thanks again!

Written June 01, 2012Thanks Sangoku, nice work on the walk cycle, not very natural, but a nice animation non the less :)
There is many ways to do hands, this is just one way, I tend to try some differences every rig I do, simply to explore and learn new possibilities ;) There are chances that I redo this character eventually, maybe make a character tuto out of it :)

Written June 01, 2012Goodcsevil, very nice lipsynch animation :) I really like :) Although I don't have 3D glasses to see the stereoscopic in action, I can still clearly see the animation :) Good work ;)

Written July 02, 2012Far most the easiest rig I've ever downloaded. Its completely new user friendly, I should know I'm a new user. I was looking for a alien like character, and I ened over looked this guy about six times. I'm glad I have him now! I can now get started on my mini series that will include this guy. and of course all credit goes to JEANNOTLADRY for his creation.

Written July 09, 2012hey thanks for uploading this, it's a really great little rig and the character has a lot of personality. literally the only critique i have is that the controls are a little intrusive - they take up a lot of screen real estate around the character, and it's kind of hard on the eyes. i find i have to try to look 'through' and around the controls at the character to make sure i'm posing him correctly. i guess i can just scale the widget meshes down for my own sake :) but i thought it worth mentioning in case anyone else feels the same way.
but all in all a fantastic little guy, easy to animate otherwise!

Written February 28, 2014fantastic rig! i have been using it for my animation challenge (i'm animating a little thing every day) and after three weeks of playing with it i finally figured out how to switch it from ik to fk (i'm a bit dense sometimes) can't wait to play with it some more!
here's the link to my gallery just in case you wanna check it out (just a heads up, i'm a beginner and my work really sucks at the moment :P) http://blenderbeetle.weebly.com/works-archive.html

Written March 23, 2017Thank you for the model, you did a great job! Everything works perfectly even in Blender 1.78c (I think now it's the latest one).
Do you know if I can attach this rig to another model? Is it a complex process?
Thanks.
