Heres the first draft on my Jack of blades model I've been working on for a bit he still needs to be fine tuned so i have to go over him again taking out different bits of the model and connecting it up as well as texturing him but thats for later

i have run into some problems with the rigging it's a ok rig but maya has enviably made some mistakes
so i will have to go back through and paint the effect of the joints onto the model unfortunate i've forgotten how to paint the influence of the skeleton joints

but i have found a website that has a tutorial on this so i will watch the video and then fix the rig

I should have the model properly rigged very soon.
