I think the modeling isn't realistic. It must be more High-Quality and more like Ironman. I have a Ironman rig which I modeled and rendered but someone else rigged. The rig is quite bad so can you rerig my Ironman? It's quite high quality ;)
This is pretty fantastic. I love how technical it is, with the rotations of the complex bits like the shoulders and knees. Everything is very machine-like, very cool.
I have noticed one major problem with the fingers. When the rig is moved up or down (through either the All_Control or the Torso_Control), the fingers bend with the world. If you move him up, they will bend down horrendously unrealistically, and vice versa. It wasn't too big as I could hide the hands in the few poses where I had him changing vertical position like this, but I think it should be fixed.
Also these are just personal nitpicks, but I don't like having the IK/FK switches on the all_control, as it basically precludes you from making a character set and using this rig with trax editor, as you now have to include the global controller in a character set, which just won't work, unless there is some other way to do it that I don't know.
Also, might be a problem on my end, but I couldn't make any quick-select sets with the controllers. I'd make the set and it would be empty no matter how I try to put a controller into it. I was able to just use the Maya layers instead, but it wasn't idea.
All in all, it's a fantastic piece of work and I'm having a lot of fun animating it, despite some small setbacks. Thanks!
Sweet rig! The only thing I could crit would be that at first I thought the L_leg, R_leg and so forth were visibility controls and not the FK/IK switch. But beyond that, this is a very, very cool rig. Thanks for putting this up!!
Thanks for putting it up as a .ma file, btw.
