This is actually some nice learning material. Thanks for sharing 🙏

@Aender Lara Thank you for posting this video. It is super helpful. Do you have any plans on a full tutorial on how you rigged the mechanical leg?

[@AenderLara]

Glad it helps, I did not think on going back to the leg actually, there was something in particular of it that you like to check?

[@Dchane]

​@AenderLara Well, all your rigs are amazing, but I guess what I'd like to know is how to rig a joint like the knee but have other several moving parts move along with it. How you constrained everything, what expressions you may have used, and Blenders equivalent to Mayas set driven keys if you had used anything like that. Anything that sticks to the leg bones or joints but has its own seperate animatable parts.

Amazing, what does the Lerp do actually ? I've always been curious about blender expressions but didn't find any ressources that explain them, this is super useful.

[@AenderLara]

Hello! Lerp is linear interpolation between 2 values, you provide A(from) and B(to) value then using the interpolation value (that usually is between 0 to 1, here is where normalized value comes handy) you can return what is in between A and B or do some transitions between both values. I am really slow delivering tutorials but I and making a detailed version of this video explaining a little of it.❤️

Nice! I was struggling to get what your clamp driver do with modifiers in the driver editor graph, guess I'm hyped for your tutorial then ! Thanks

[@jostasizzi818]

in near future can we expect full fledged tutorials

[@AenderLara]

Well I am just finishing editing one where we do all this example with the slides and another one where we apply some of this equations to an actual rig.
