I am planning to follow this tutorial to make marvin the depressed robot.

[http://67.15.36.49/team/Tutorials/making\_marvin/marvin\_01.asp](http://67.15.36.49/team/Tutorials/making_marvin/marvin_01.asp)

Although I am unsure with regards to the rigid/flexy contrast for animating.

Is it as simple as attaching the rigid bits directly to a biped. Then applying a skin to the flexy bits?

I always have difficulty with shoulder joints.:panda:
