Here's what I have so far in terms of layout; the files are available now in the "Layout" folder on Dropbox:
For one reason or another, I can't really get Larry's rig to work. I'm using Maya 2013, but I can only move a few things, like his legs and his eyes. Everything else is stuck. The timing and the camera positioning here are right, even though it probably looks weird. I can continue on, but to anyone unfamiliar with the story, it'll look really odd.
Any suggestions as to how I can get Larry's rig to work are very much appreciated.
to make sure his rigg works i would say first things first make sure that each control handle is unlocked for the movements you want to allow. for instance if you want to translate the elbow but the manupulator appears gray, then that means that it is locked. in which case you enter your channel box, highlight translate x,y, and z, then right click unlock selected. if you do not see those in your channel box then they are hidden in which case you need to go into your channel box and hit edit, channel control. then in the middle column, find translate x, etc and move it to the column called "keyable." then it should appear and you should proceed to unlock it. hope this helps.
