oops, forgot to name those ear bones :P

interessting use of ik for the eyes.

any particular reason you used that instead of a lookat constraint?

i'll try to explain sensibly :P

the "track-to" constraints (max uses lookat) tend to rotate incorrectly (like in a clockwise/counterclockwise fashion) when they follow an object. the IK constraints point at it rather than spin around following it.

great Job!
thanks for tis tutorial.

Great tutorial, very thorough!

Awesome! Thanks Dave!
I love that Gorilla.
I have a question.
i have seen that ppl using arrow sign (i guess its path) to some of riggin jobs. How is it made that?

ok!!! i catch it! of course you can make parent of any object. ( This can be an arrow or even rocket! ) Thanks!!

Thanks a lot! I didn't find ANY tutorial on face rigging, until I found yours. You explain it verry well.

THis may sound stupid, but when I tried to do your tutorial, I had a problem:
* I clicked the face and went in weight paint mode.
* But as soon as I selected a bone in weight paint mode, I automatically went back into object mode.

* Another weird thing: I can only scale the bones in their length => make them longer or shorter. Not flattter, like you sometimes doe. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help!

Excellent job, keep up the great work!
