I'm no animator, but I found this videos with good information of the Rigging and Animation tools. Brian Horgan is a professional rigger for C4D and is/were a student at Animation Mentor if I'm not mistaken. Generally speaking, I've read at C4DCafe that he complains more about viewport performance of the rigs on C4D viewport, in comparison with Maya. Anyway ... here is the videos. http://youtu.be/hD5wZ8bV-Aw?list=UUWhRfxKSqHU8hjx7mbmKVxA http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC57D98597A0B7DD0

C4D received a character animation toolset overhaul several years ago, and still receives love by the development team, and will continue to do so. I will suggest you go to: http://www.cineversity.com/search/tutorials/and search for “character”. Then filter for Free tutorials (Access type). You will see some of the tools available.I may have a bit more information about this subject in a few days. Don't forget that I’m a huge fanboy of C4D and Maxon beta tester, so I’m extremely biased, but I never lie. please feel free to ask any specific questions… CheersThanassis Just wondering if anyone has done any real character animation in C4D. I bought version 9 when I dumped Lightwave and the character animation tools were pretty much crap (which is why I own Softimage now). I heard they updated them a while back, but I can’t really find any tutorials or even examples that look anything but amateur at best.
