Creating a reverse foot setup is fairly simple (that's the thing that keeps the character's feet stuck to the ground and allow you bend the foot in various places). But the process can seem a bit complicated when you first see it . . . lots of moving pivots to various places, etc. So here's video to walk through how I do it. Obviously, other people have other ways of doing it, but let's see them make you a video! They'll never love you like I love you! {sniff}

So I'll be honest. I didn't actually watch your video, mostly because I know how to set up a Reverse Foot Rig.
ReplyDeleteThough you seem like a very knowledgeable guy...Do you have any insight on making a bird foot where you have to reverse lock into more than one "ankle" joint?
I've been trying to rig a vulture talon and...i'm very lost.
Hahaha. Well, I haven't read your post because I've read some before. But I'm going to assume it's full of compliments. Thanks so much!

Not sure what you mean by more than one ankle joint. . . Since you may not doing the RF the way I do, my advice might not make sense in any event. So . . . what do you mean by multiple ankle joints?
