The Lizard Rig


I thought today I would put Clayton's Portfolio Link so you can see what Leonard is rigged to do. Notice how his arms bend in the middle; they also do this on his legs and forearm.

On the Incredible's Blu-ray and possibly the DVD, there is an "animators" commentary. They are constantly referring to how convenient the new rigs were because they had the above mentioned control. They said it made the arcs look a lot smother, and their animation flowed better. Find those controls and give them a try. In Clayton's Demo reel he used them to the extreme, however they would also look great if used subtly.
