After you’ve mastered the bouncing ball, animating a walk cycle with the Simple Bot is a great learning experience. It allows you to focus on the pelvis and legs without being distracted with the rest of the body parts. Since the pelvis is the main instrument that leads the entire body motion it’s good to be able to figure it out separately.

More and more Maya users are developing free rigs for use by animation students, to help them learn their craft. Of course, Karim Kashefi doesn’t own the rights to the Pink Panther, so do watch out when using anything of this nature for commercial gain (strictly forbidden) and make sure it’s just to practice your animation skills. We have not yet road-tested this rig, but we’re looking forward to seeing what our talented students can do with it!

Destrucktor is a mech boss driven by one of our original human characters, the Gunfighter. Making the first machine-based rig certainly brought along its own set of challenges. Most of these challenges were centered around automating the animation of mechanical pieces on the rig to free up time for focusing on the main action.
