Goos Animation Playground & Basic Rig v1 (blender 2.72)
I created this file, so i could just jump straight in and start practicing
character animation without having to set stuff up all the time.
so i thought id share it with everyone.
Theres 3 files
one is just the scene with a group set up called GAP_Scene, which can be appended into your own character
or your character can be linked into the GAP scene.
the second is the scene with a character called slick with rotations set to XYZ Euler.
and the third is the same as the second but the rotations set to Quaternion.
the rig is just a basic rigify rig, ive added eye blinks and eyebrow movement,
so basic emotion can be shown in the face.
most the scene has basic bones attached to them so they can be animated.
id suggest downloading the dynamic Parent addon from here

Anyway Have Fun!!!!

Thanks Kaki haha yes there's a ladder, maybe a kitchen sink on the next version:) Id like to animate dinosaurs but i'm not great at rigging them, i prefer rigging my own stuff.
I will improve/add to this file when i get time. maybe a Jurassic park playground haha
:) Glad its of some use. If you see any issues let me know. Im working on a new version.
Just looking at the preview, I was going to say that you need a ladder. Then I opened it and saw you had one.
This is a great way to practice, and you have included good advice with it. Too bad I'm only interested in animating dinosaurs right now.
This is a great contribution for animation students. Good on you.
