[Softimage] How can I rig a character to behave like Finn from Adventure Time

Leydriell

I've been searching for this holy knowledge that is learning how to rig cartoon like characters with bending/stretching arms and legs but, it seems to me that, currently speaking, nobody uses Softimage as much as they use Maya.

I'm currently starting a school project in Softimage and I need to know how to this god forsaken way to rig a character before I lose my sh#%$, since I can't do it in any other software (because school stuff, I don't even know anymore).

I'd be forever grateful to the person or people that can address this issue with me.

Thank you in advance.
Cheers.

Scroll down to 'Toom Arm Deformation' for a video tutorial and see if that does what you're looking for. If you're familiar with ICE you could also try a spline like this http://www.vanilla-box.co.uk/?cat=14
