COMPLEX Rig Made EASY - Rigging a Strandbeest - A Blender tutorial
151This one is a bit unusual, but I am sure you'll learn a lot about how to properly set up a rig and make it work in a proper and efficient manner.
The Strandbeests are unique artificial creatures constructed to walk by themselves on the beach just driven by wind.
Created by Theo Jansen: / @strandbeestfilm
What you'll learn:
Setting up the main bone structure
Creating the walk cycle with just one rotation
Using IK and parenting for complex movements
Duplicating the whole rig in an efficient way
Making the legs walk automatically when moving the whole "Beest"
Creating the sails on the top and connecting them to the rig
