thanks… I try to work on making him more round… I know what you mean… but somehow it just doesn’t work out really… heh… well, gotta try harder.
here’s a little update.
That’s a funny guy! Perfect for some kids’ intranet page. His “rear end” looks a bit boxy, though I guess it’s really because he needs a bigger butt to balance the belly, perhaps.
The only prob with the animation that I can see is that his knee bends backwards slightly when he lifts his foot. However! Given how cartoony he is in nature, that might actually work to the scene’s benefit. Otherwise that is VERY cool! It must’ve taken forever to render lol. Great job!
it sure does. I once asked in #blenderchat how you can control backwards-bending… or limit it, actually. for knees and hands… and I got several people saying:
a) it cannot be done
b) it can be done with iksolvers
c) it is coming in future versions
the b option seemed nice one, but I never understood the horrible looking setups, and, they still didn’t quite work… I know it’s my fault, I just dont have the patience… perhaps I’ll try one more time with this character, if I don’t succeed, I post the blend here and let’s see if somebody can fix him up?
