sure GCastro

well the main point is that 1 is organic and one not... as you say pistons, flaps, gizmo hydraulics can be used on the dog as where the character needs to be set and weghted so it moves naturally.

both tutorial will server there own purpose for whatever you needed..

There will be many set driven keys on the dog ... And its probably fair to say mike will also do this on the hands of the character but I have yet to discuss this with him.

but it will be fantastic for sure as mike and craig have some great skills... both will be top tutorials.. I watched mikes rig part 1 and he is just so natural about the way he goes about it... I learn something everytime I watch him. Plus it was extra nice of him to give his character to go along with as many would not have so many thanks to him!

and craig: well craig was the guy who inspired me to get into maya and open this site! so it goes without saying that he is my mentor.

lol I went a little off the topic here but I sure am lucky to know 2 of the nicest people you could ever meet!

dam i love you guys :love:
