Hi,
So,,,what I`ve been doing for this long ? Well, I`be been studying rigging a bit for a while, and my PC got bugged heavily,and I ended up buying new hard drive, installing OS, softwares...Oh that was a hell...
Anyway, this is what I got. Basically I just followed one of tutorials out there(I learned alot by watching those!). I used riverse foot control system for foot, and IK/FK blender for the arms, Spline IK for spine. I should have made simple animation to show what I could end up with, but , yeah, for now I just put the printsceen images.
I used to feel almost freaked out by hearing a word,"rigging." But actually the process was fun enough. One of the tutorial out there called rigging as "puppet rig," instead of rigging. This reminds me of mechanichal puppet rig that has been used in SFX industry, and seems make the rigging sound a bit more interesting somehow. So I myself decided to call this puppet rig : )

Wanna keep the rig for eye section stay as there are!! :
As always, I faced trouble this time too... Everytime I moved the control object for big scissor(on top of the head), attached rig for the eye section move along with it. I trid to stay the rig for eye section as they are by making the control object(nurves circle) at the root of the eye section.
Then I have the root joint orient-constrained by the new control object. Yeah, the same technique as we use for hands and head. But didn`t work at all....
Next step
Anyway, I will start binding from now, then have him posed, should be fun!!
