LogInRigged by Emanuel Khemchan.
Emanuel Khemchan is stretching his rigging muscles with an impressive robot leg he set up in Blender. Its parts move smoothly as if oiled, with every little detail interacting thoughtfully – so well that you won't believe it's his first time rigging.
"As a generalist who's constantly learning and absorbing information, I have so little to show for it. It feels like I've learned everything there is to know in 3D, yet I've never taken the time to put it into practice. That's what I'm finally doing with this character, and all the future projects I'll be using him in!"
If you, like many other Redditors, want to know how the long "bone" moves, Khemchan has an explanation: There's actually a curve wrapped around both pulley wheels, acting as a path. I took a small plane segment and arrayed it along the curve, making the belt shape. Then with drivers, I move the belt along the curve based on the wheels' rotation."
Khemchan's rigging journey was boosted by DemNikoArt's works, who has recently released a new course on mechanical rigging, by the way.
You can also enjoy his car suspension rig, a beetle-like wing structure, a robot arm rig, and a reworked version of Storm Eagle's wing.
