No-Flip Quadruped Hind Leg {

Credit to Morgan Loomis for initial leg rigs (Foreleg, Hind leg)

Link to No-Flip Foreleg post

As before, I'd like to share my No-Flip solution to quadruped legs rig. This time, I'll be doing the hind-leg, as promised. I'll briefly explain the initial leg rigs, but will focus primarily on the No-Flip nature of them. If you want more information on the initial rigs, check out the links above.

The Hind-Leg solution utilizes the same techniques as the Foreleg, but the extra ankle joint gives us some more work to do.




Tutorial {





Start with a joint chain on the XY or ZY plane. This will be the main joint chain. For simplicity, I left out the toe joint, but it shouldn't be difficult to add it if you wish.
