The story behind the AT-ST

A Star Wars AT-ST rig built for mechanical walk studies

Emilio Serrano rigged this AT-ST walker from scratch in Autodesk Maya, with a clear setup for animators who want to spend their time on motion and mechanics instead of a complicated control scheme.

Keeping the legs IK only makes the walker quick to pick up and easy to animate, and it makes the rig a good fit for learning or polishing fundamentals: the weight of each step, the shift through the body, the rhythm of a two-legged machine. Open the sample walk first to see the motion the rig was built for, then make your own.
