i'm searching good tutorials for rigging

[dobilan]

Hello,

 

As said in the title I'm searching for good tutorials for rigging assemblies of rigid bodies such as robotic arms, mechanical devices like elevators, gantry cranes, concrete mixers and so on. The net is full of rigging tutorials for creatures but less for mechanical devices. Also if you have an idea how can I animate a spray painting operation.

 

Thanks

you need to use the link constraint first you need to link to something that is not animated example the floor now your first target has been selected now you need to make a new constraint so your model is completely animated once you have everything link constrained together part from your floor. I would look at the referance files to get more information
