The buddy baker

I bought a tutorial on character animation from Blender Cookie dot com. It comes with a fully rigged character ready to go and the whole thing focuses on just character animation in blender. This is good because all the tutorials I have ever looked at regarding pretty much any sort of animation have been for maya. Not only that but all the blender tutorials I have ever seen that deal with character rigging are for previous versions of blender. Doesn't seem like such a big deal but when you don't know where all the bells and whistles are, it is. Especially when they change the locations of the bells and whistles from one version to the next. Not to worry, I have puzzled on and my patience has paid off in the form of the above... This is Baker. The blender cookie character animation test subject.
Well, not exactly like this. The actual Baker is orange. See, in my natural procrastinatory fashion, I'm more interested if I can make him look like a porno star than actually investing time making him do things. I mean you could argue that making him behave like a porno star (and all that that entails) would be more beneficial than trying to make him look like a muppet and I would probably agree with you. But what are you going to do?  I was curious if I could change his appearance and I could. Neat. Undoubtedly, further and more graphic updates will follow.
