Modelling Pt.2

my first attempt to add bones tot he model of the forks i didnt inclue bones to link the vertiacal parts to the fork arms, so i used some connecting bones to link them. these work very well almost as sholders, i may be able to use them to produce a shrug type movement.






now i will start building the driving rig. tutorial link click here
(note this tutorial is for a 4 wheeled vehical.)
i ensured i had the poivot points of the wheels in the center of the wheels. i then created a dummy for each wheel. and aligned them. this first dummy was the wheel hub, i then scale copied this so the box was large to create a dummy for the actual wheel. with mechanical rigging you create the ring and link the different mesh parts to it. which makes it very flexible and easy to ammend

after going most of the way through the tutorial
something in the rig broke and i couldnt work out what, so i deleted most of it adn started again with the basic componants.

the front wheel has an additional dummy for the steering hub. the individual dummies on the top are the suspention anchors.
