Version 1.0 is out! Catch him while you can:)
Squirrely is a free rig for noncommercial use only. I wanted a "ball like" character with a tail to play with for animation tests and Squirrely came into being.
Features:
-  Body Rigged with The Setup Machine 2                                       
- Stetchy IK Spine
 - FK/IK Switchable Arms and Legs
 - Limb mirroring
 - Auto/Manual Stretch limbs
 - Character Sets Set up for proper keying
 - Tail/Ear Controls
 - Finger/Toe FK/IK
 - LowRes Proxy Geometryy mode for faster playback
 - Character scaleable via master control
 - Hideable tail via "COG"
 - Face Camera
 
 - Facial rig
 - Limited yet functional facial rig
 - FK/IK Eye Rig - set up via my good friend Scott Englert's Tutorial
 - Eyelid Tracking/Blinking Control - setup via John Doublestein's Tutorial
 
Recommendations:
- EyeBlend Control transitions between Joystick/look at control for the eyes
 - Use the character sets - one of my nit picks with the setup machine is that the FK/IK swich attributes are located on the COG control. As such, having limited keying sets via selection sets or quickselection sets is a hassle. The characters sets make sure you key all the appropriate attributes
 - FK/IK Arms and Leg switching accessed via the TSM controls
 - Mirroring accessed via TSM Controls
 
Requests:
- I'm not great at shading/texturing. If anyone wants to come up with some slicker stuff you want incorporated, lemme know.
 - Tag animations you do with him as "Squirrely" on YouTube, Vimeo or the like. I'd like to see em.
 - Have fun:)
