Time for a break.

After the problems outlined in the post before, I have finished the new Goldfinger rig. I did it much faster the second time round so I think I have got to grips with the very basics of biped rigging now.

There was also much less need for envelope adjusting too which hopefully means I set it up better than last time too. He also doesn't have the upper arm issue he did either. Overall, perhaps the importing issue helped me to improve?

Now Goldfinger is set in motion, all I need to do now is animate the laser and make the two characters have a bit of eye contact.

Also, as a note I forgot to mention before, the television screens on the bench will have working video in the rendered animation. This is done by assigning a .avi file to the diffuse of a material and applying it to the plane that is the TV screen.

The video I used can be found here:

As I only wanted a very brief portion of it I used Adobe Premiere Pro to cut the part I wanted to use.
