Duh. Yea I went to raidientsquare.com.
I think they had a problem with thier registration when I went there the first time. After visiting again I was able to register and download the scripts for Final Rig.

Thanks.

Tony.

Hello Mike, question; what is an acceptable file size for the final render? Any solutions on how to minimize a file containing the complete animation? Yes, my file is HUGE!

Encoding it as a divX video will reduce its sice. DivX is a widely used codec so it wouldnt be a problem.

Yes, make sure you post a link to whatever codecs you use to make sure people can view them!

Btw Mike on a related subject, nice constraints tutorials, thanks. I'd defnitely recommend them to other people if they are trying to figure out how constraints work.

Grab the joint and rotate it. You'll most likely need to adjust weights. Don't forget to check out the rigging video series we have here at SM.

Character Setup part 4 is where the paint weights tool starts, and lasts through part 5. It is only for smooth bind.

Here's the Constraints videos:
