Blender tutorials for creating the simplest rig with four limbs and no elbow or knee joints.
I originally used a model of the Google Android put up on the Internet by Kriss Occipinti but if you want to make all the rig including the ‘skin’ (the 3D model), I have added tutorials to show how to make it.
The Google Android is also used in a series of tutorials developing a walk around collecting game, click here for the page.
