  This video could not have come out at a better time! I just started making my rigs for Atlas and P-body from Portal 2  and I had no clue where to start with the cables.

  Bonus Tip: If you want to shade smooth with a Skin Modifier, just use the option "Smooth Shading" in the skin modifier tab.

  @<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkAk-GYpcvs&amp;t=472">7:52</a> importance of parenting with empty groups. Though I have personally had some success with automatic weights if I actually want a bendy robot.<br><br>Edit: with automatic weights, just got to weight painting mode remove the influence of adjacent bones on a part you only want one bone to be able to influence.

  Man... I am so new to Blender and I&apos;m working on my first rigging set up ever, which happens to be for a mech. This tutorial explained it better than most of the others I have watched. I absorbed and understood why you toggle and assign certain things so well from this vid, especially the parenting and IK parts. Thanks a bunch, your workflow was so understandable! Great video fr

  I&apos;ve looked at some good tutorials for rigging robots, but this one gave me exactly the setup I needed and now I actually understand how ik wors, so I was able to edit my rig to accomodate my robot&apos;s needs! Thanks for this! I&apos;ll be following your walk cycle video next.

  Useful stuff! One speed tip: you can add the IK before you symmetrize so you don&apos;t have to do each side.

  It&apos;s very nice to just watch these when i already know how to do this stuff, there is one thing that i need to learn tho...how to rig metal gear rex&apos;s legs, the lower leg can &quot;expand&quot; it slides
