Resize rig + model??

Hey all,

I was hoping someone could point me the direction of a good tutorial on how to create an attribute that will re-size the rig, model and controllers.

Cheers?

first you create a rig, skin it with character,then assign a global cntrl to all the controls of the rig. i think best way to start rigging is to create empty groups first like joints,iks,mesh,cntrl curves, etc: assigned under one major group. then you can arrange your joints in joints group, controls in curves group and so on. then when your rig is final u can give a global control to all these groups and then u can scale that global control and your rig as well mesh will scale on same time.user added image

But be warned....you cant freeze the transforms on the group after you scale it because the mesh will be locked to the joint translates etc.

cheers
