Every once in awhile some impressive things pop up for Blender users to learn from and experiment with. This is one of those things.
TheSudahlah at cgtalk has place three rigs up for everyone to experiment with. The rigs include a humanoid figure, a 4 legged dog creature and a 6 legged robotic insect. The great thing about these files besides the fact they are nice examples of rigs is that actions are provided for each character.
Each character has a series of actions including walk cycles, running, fighting, jumping, etc. So you can mix and match the actions, blending them to create your own animation. And with 2.43 you can use the new Walk cycle modifier to create more motion.
TheSudahlah says:
I just want to share my rigs
2legs, 4legs and 6legs
There's already an actions in it, a basic walk, run, etc....hope will help, and usefull...
The files are not packed with the textures. But the textures are included in the zip file. Just rename the path to where the textures are located and the textures will be UV mapped. I've also updated the rigs collection post to include these rigs.
Download the rigs at:

i must say this is a pretty cool setup. i love stuff like this
Cool... Downloading and testing!!!!!!
Looks amazing the setup of the wrists
Very generous of you! I thank you very much for this contribution!
(testing, testing) :)
What is really amazing to me about his rigs are how he captures a very realistic and natural body movement in his animation for each character. These where keyed, no Mo- cap or BVH !
GREAT JOB YOGA !! ^_^
there's blenderartist thread on this one. Why not link to it instead of CGTalk?

That is excellent animation work, I wonder if this can be combined into harkyman Blender people ( http://www.harkyman.com/bp.html ), to create massive massive presentation ?!?!

Wow! Just amazing! Thanks for sharing this incredible resource!
these rigs are quite good indeed. I'll be using these as standard to set when I get into rigging for my projects.
Thanks a lot for sharing.
