I'm working on the rigging for my Antonia. A little slower than patorak, of course, because I'm a mere human and new to all this. Also, I guess I'm a bit lazy when it comes to posting status reports. There are some fairly recent renders of her in my gallery.

Everything except for three fingers is set up. When those are done, I'll have to go back into Wings and fix some small details on the mesh topology and the grouping, then do some more joint zone adjustments. She also needs such small things as lashes, teeth, a tongue and proper eyes.

Her shoulders, elbows, hips and knees don't bend as nicely as I'd like to. No worse than most Poser figures do without JCMs  and such, but I'd like to do better. So when I'm reasonably happy with her initial, "conventional" rigging, I will look into some alternative rigging options people have been using, such as splitting the shoulder into shoulder and upper arm, introducing a dummy hip bone, etc.

Then I'll UV map her and see if anyone volunteers to contribute textures, morphs and such for the free version. Because I can't be bothered to turn her into a finished product - I have a day job, after all - I'm planning to give the base figure away for free and hope that lots of people jump on board and start to create - and possibly sell - additional content.
