Over the last two weeks we covered how to rig a piston. This week we wanted to show you how to make a multi-stage piston. This is great if you are rigging robots and you need a piston to extend outside of its natural bounds.

Colors Everywhere!Rigging can be an interesting art form. For the most part, the audience will never see your work. The only ones using your products will be the animation team and the lighting team.
