I vound zis very inner resting.

can u put a download link in descripton

[FakeeTreZz]

Is it possible to send me your c4d file?

[AnimatorC4D]

Wow this is awesome :D Soo detailed.

Check out my arm ist made with joints and "hydraulic"

/watch?v=rqEB8oapTyo

This was made without joint only with Constraint tags?

Have you used ik tags?

And Is it easier with joints or without (becaus i want to make another arm :D)?

[HDDigitalDesigns]

tutorial?

[AmBusHxInFeCtIoN]

template pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee!?!?!?!?!?!?­!?!

[agent8el]

Amazing. 

[BigTimeRushLOLOL]

couldn't you also set the very tip of the finger as the Goal instead of setting the wrist as the goal and then constraining the fingers?

[bongobl]

For each part of the arm, (upper arm and forearm) where do the axis centers have to be??

[Que70]

Hi Tommix, so how were the wires created, hair, soft IK??

[Que70]

Hi, so which constraint type did you use for the joints. Out of PSR, Parent, UP, Aim, Clamp, Spring, and Mirror. Which one did you use?

[tommix83]

@Que70 Hi Que. UP and Aim for the mechanical joints, spring for cables.

[Que70]

@tommix83 Thankyou so much! I never had a clue on what type of constraint to use for joints, Do you know what UP stands for, is it just the word up or is it an abbreviation?

[GraphiXhouse]

Very nice ! You should really make Tutorials!! How you did the Dynamic cables and the gears, pistobs??

[Que70]

were the joints rigged with the joint tool or were they rigged with constraints?

[tommix83]

@Que70 Hi, It's all about constraints. No joints

[Que70]

@tommix83 thankyou, than after that, you apply an IK tag to the base and set the hand as the target I guess

[Que70]

was mocca used in this?

[OneDirectorsCut]

how you make it that the cables follow dynamically?

[2enx]

veramente bello....

come hai fatto a fare il RIG???

5*

[tommix83]

è tutta cinematica inversa con dei vincoli per rispettare gli assi di rotazione consentiti da ogni perno. Più un pochino di scripting per le pinze.. I tubi sono IK con dei vincoli elastici.

;-)

[Que70]

did you use C.O.F.F.E.E to program the arm? and how do you set up those sliders on the upper left side of the screen to correspond to the arm's motion?

[fredb3]

I got a question for the arm parts did you model using splines and rig with Controller IK or Bones IK and with the hand did you set with pose-mixer or is that using a different set up for the rig?

Finally which version of c4d did you use?

[tommix83]

Hi fredb3! I didn't model using splines but simple box modeling. I didn't use any bone, just simple IK's, a few Xpresso and lots of constraints. No pose mixer or else

[fredb3]

Was the expresso for the wires or for the 'fingers'.

[JUANREVI]

hey! excellent rigging, very cool realy. congrats...

[SPIRESCUIOANANDREI]

Very impressive.Keep it up:)

[theguruxxx]

very good....

[ShepperdOneill]

Very nice! I recently did a robot arm as well, although it was not as complex as yours.
