For this week more rigging.

Summary.

For this week i finished the main base rigs for both of the characters. I added an ik fk switch to the the arms. I added a clavicle controls. I added in the ribbon rigs for the forearms and the shoulders, including twist. I added a stretch controller for the elbow.

Negatives.

The ik arm rig was resulting in horrible deformation/twists. Therefore I went back and fixed it.

Positives

Base rigs are finished.
