Automated Serpent Rig

The idea behind this project was to create an automated rig, where the animator would animate the first control, and the rest would automatically aniamte correctly behind it. The concept was a serpent like rig (think sea serpent or leg-less dragon) where it wouldn't be required to animate the length of the body. There are secondary controls that allow for animating off the main course, but the main motion is determined by the lead control.
Here is a quick example of the X-rotation in trial:



Only the front control is animated, and the back end responds based on the amount of rotation frame to frame.
