![](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/d/1/d114bfe2118d5f6a425cc23475ceec10fe30e4ec.jpg) A witch character for my next film, rigging the cloak on this one was a bit of a challenge, since I don’t like using cloth simulation (too slow…and a pain to re-calculate over and over again to get right…) so I had to use some clever rigging on the legs to get the cloak to bend properly when the legs move. The magic aura thingy here is done in a separate .blend file and linked in as a reference. Getting the face rig working is the next job, I want to be able to use the freeware Papagayo program from Lost Marble to do all the tedious lip sync work… so it’s off to read some python tutorials next. ---

the spell emblem aura thingy is in the way of the character. not a problem in the animation, but for a still it is blocking the witch too much. i would be intersted in seeing how you have done the cloak/leg rig ---
