hey arran, yeah it is a bit clunky, I think my rig is literally straining at the bones (or just inexperience on my part) user added image
I'm thinking that the deformation may be because the rig is constrained to single joints and therefore it doesnt smooth out when more than one is bending. Something to definately look at.

Your vacuum will be cool to animate, all clunky and maybe with some particle effects as he sucks stuff in?

This challenge will take me a full circle back to July last year. It definately doesnt seem a year since then - I'd hope my modelling has improved some (all those hours on the train must have helped).
