EX 7: Character Rigging

 

I was unsure of how to tackle this assignment of character rigging but figured that I would start with downloading the low man character model that was provided. I played around with various poses by highlighting and rotating his joints. I ultimately wanted to display the low man model doing some sort of athletic action. therefore I made it look as if he was running and jumping a fence as if he was an Olympic runner. The one thing that I couldn't figure out for the life of me was how to change and rotate his elbows, hands, arms, etc. I feel like altering that would have definitely made the action more believable.
