      Okay, I'm done with the rig, and I created some poses. Check them out on my blog:
      http://www.giantmonster.tv/giant/?p=364
      (to limit bandwidth on this site)

      I'll probably work on the Stone Age pose a little - not as close as I like... but it was all to test the rig.

      Believe it or not the posing was pretty quick to do, I was surprised.

        Really nice work on this. I'm particularly impressed by the clothing on your model of Sam too.

        Perhaps you could put together a rigging tutorial?

          That’s Fantastic. I’m going to have a bad dream after looking at the fears face of hunter13.jpg 😄
          This is the first time I have seen rigging in SU.

            Great work as always Justin!! Really looks like a powerful yet fast moving creature! The running image has me thinking that the hunter has more of an ape/gorilla/baboon stride than a canine/cheetah based stride? What's your inspiration on its movement?

              Director Bob, sorry for the nightmares 😄

              CraigD, he's more like a cheetah than an ape. I was trying out some power sizing with the front limbs. When he's just in the stand pose I think the size difference with the front and back works, but after posing I don't think it works so well. I'm working on fixing that now.

              (I'll be thickening the hind legs)

                    The man who is adding fluidity and motion to this medium...great job bro!!!

                    Like CraigD said "Really looks like a powerful yet fast moving creature!” Most of the big fast cats use the tail as counter-balance when pursuing their target. Have you thought of adding one to Hunter? Or it must be using alien technology…ooooohhhhhh!!! Still great work MZ, can't wait for the next monster you cook

                      Hehe, I think it has a counter balancing tail, only thing is that it is cloaked 24/7 using technology developed by the Klingons which he purchased (for a few thousand darsek and twelve Romulan slaves) from a rogue Klingon military officer, K'Eldhykur, seeking to be reinstated as second in command of a warship.

                        I didn't seem to refer to a video I made with regards to this character.

                        I also made the this one:
