Alrighty then - I've done the vast majority of rigging work for this octopus rig, and while skinning isn't complete, I'd like for whomever may want to to give the rig a quick once over and to give me some C&C. Please be as frank as you can - this is for my masters dissertation. I did put it up a while ago, but it seems to of been auto-saged, and yes, I have looked for it, but alas, no luck.

I'll explain a few things:

1) I've hidden the other layers other than the mesh and control objects, nothing is locked down in the other layers as of yet. So they've been frozen. Also, ADVrigging layers are for effects and BASErigging layers are for skinning purposes

2) I've been told by my tutor that this rig can run slowly due to the number of springs I have in the rig.

3) For controlling the legs, spheres are for general rotation/positioning and the spline objects lining each leg are for twist

Sorry for the link, file's rather large

dropbox

Thank you those who take the time to answer, it is much appreciated.

    Unless of course your aim is to piss people off to the point that they do not trust any link you post ever again... I'm off to scrub my system clean I suggest anyone unwise enough to click those links do the same.

    Hm, would I rather get rid of the source of a virus, or just vaccinate myself against it?
    Mark has a good point- I never like to download anything from these sketchy pop-up sites. It immediately puts me off- and I just close the window.

    Dropbox is certainly a better option.
    But, of course, do what you will.
    Someone will download eventually.
