Post 3: Figuring Out the Arc Rig

To be honest I haven't really animated a quadruped before. I've animated a tiger once and that's about it. So while waiting for our models and set to be ready, I tried to do some animation tests to figure out the dragon rig we got Arc by Sobel.

I had a lot of issues figuring out how to use the picker for Arc. I talked to another student who was also using the rig and she explained that I had to use a premade folder to use the picker, not just the rig's scene file. I also couldn't select anything on the picker and someone on my team helped me figure out that I needed to rename a scene file.

The picker has a lot of awesome features including making it easier to select controls, premade poses, different textures, and even different types of modeled dragons! We decided to use the Young option for of this rig.
