The Process of Modelling and Rigging a Mechanical Model

Posted on by

excavator_14Robert Burke, the author of the ‘Precision Modelling PDF Guide‘, has published an interesting article on the modeling and rigging of a mechanical guide.

Robert writes:

I have been working on this model for some time now and rather than repeating the usual step by step tutorials I have decided instead  to write a brief article. The article will detail the process and a few of the techniques used to get to get from the first idea to construct a complex mechanical model that could be animated, to the finished excavator.

      I remember this from the work in progress thread on blenderartists. Well done, Rob. The model looks great, and I’m sure the article is informative (I’m gonna read it, honest!). Kudos.
