Flying-Fox v1
An animators best friend is not a dog. Flying Fox is an animator friendly rig that allows you to squash and stretch according to a direction and a position that you choose. It will also allow you to shape the rig according to how you would prefer to draw it with the use of “super-controls”. Any pose is possible! It also has a tail and ears that work with the rest of the rig nicely. Watch the video to see how to use the controls.

Little Warrior Rig Playlist
I once made a rig, when I was a student, called Little Warrior Rig. Occasionally, youtube would send me an update telling me someone posted a video of animation using LWR. I checked recently and found quite a number of…
Welcome!!
redesigndavid.me was created to offer CG artists guidance. I had been teaching Rigging and Visual Effects full-time for some time now and the stuff I’ve learned has been so rewarding, I have no other recourse but to share.In this site, I offer scripts, rigs and tutorials, all products of my own pair of hands–unless specified otherwise. I'll try to share as much as I could of things that I think would make a well rounded CG artist complete.
