Thank you very much Bassam and thank you all Blender team. I never though I could learn so much of a 3D software. With blender and with a help of artists like you it is beeing ever easy. Thanks!

Bassam, I can't wait for your ManCandy to be delivered (OK, that sounds wrong!) Seriously though, I pre-ordered the tutorial DVDs and am really psyched about finally having some high quality vid tutorials in my self-study curriculum. I have Tony Mullen's character animation book, which I reference occasionally, but I really learn best by seeing the process in action. I'm still pretty lost when it comes to rigging, so hopefully this will be the key.

Cheers,
QA

A big Thanks to you Bassam, all that I know about rigging I've learned doing reverse engenering with Mancandy.
The characters of my future short animation film Orion Tear use something like 80% of old mancandy rig.
You're a Pal ^_~

thanks folks. I updated the mancandy2.0 file; now the armature is visible (and selectable) by default. If you intend on lib linking the goup, I recommend you hide it.
jedihe: I need a full week of work to finish the DVD- unfotunately I got hit by some other deadlines, and by the blender conference. I think the presale will start soon, though, and I'll try to get it finished pronto.
Eric, I'll be there! I have a presentation on Sunday. I'll show of a few teaser things from the DVD, and do a totally un mancandy related demo :)
