april rig update: controls

i got around to setting up alisha's control system today. the controls strive to address the requirements identified in earlier posts, and are color-coded for visual clarity. shapes and placement are heavily influenced by the norman rig.

here is an x-ray view that shows the bones and spine control handles:

the parenting and hierarchy are not fully established yet, and no skinning has been done. the rig still needs a 'key control' and necessary interfaces to handle IK/FK switching when required.

it's my goal to give angie a semi-working version of this rig to play around with by sometime this weekend.
