Fantasic rig. Character animation is still too complicated for me, though. How I wish I can master character animation soon! Wow.. Fantasic rig.

I'd recommend the following workflow: pose your character in whatever mode (IK/FK for the arms/head) and use the "KeyArm" or "KeyHead" options, that would care of constraint influences as well as keyframing the bones. About slowdowns, you might experience some. I think there is a bug somewhere related to python things that I've heard about... but try it for yourself and let me know ! @Bassam: you're the master ! @oto: O brigado ! Thanks everybody ! :) @Karl: it is possible and intended :) .

Well done Claudio & Leandro, it's a nasty problem to crack no matter what animation package you're using - I implemented space switching in Maya a few months ago, and it was a right pain! Well done. I'm curious to know how this system deals with keyframing - is it possible to animate an arm in IK for the first 50 frames, say, then switch to FK for the second half? Does the rig slow down from the scripting craziness that you (presumably) have running in the background? Karl Ahh, space switching!

BTW those who don't know malefico: poor guy has made so many cool bird (and some other animals) rigs for plumiferos I'm shocked that he still has the energy to rig like this on his own time. thanks malefico, I'll be learning a lot (as always) from your work. wee, maloyo on blendernation! awesome, truly a cool rig.

I haven't tried this yet, but it looks awesome. I thought it looked a lot like the Lego Knights' Kingdom figures. I haven't tried this yet, but it looks awesome.
