Does anyone have any nicely rigged Lightwave characters? I would like to use them for practice and to enter some 11sec club competitions. I would really appreciate it!!

I don't know how much this will help you but we rigged a character in block 2 that I have. It's the soldier character. It is like our week 4 rig. Could work unless you want something more complicated, that I don't have.

I appreciate the reply but I need a full character IK rig, and one that has a mouth for lipsync. Thanks again!

Free rigged characters:

This is a link to the Adam & Eve rig for Lightwave created by DAVE grad Kurt Smith.
Check out the YouTube walk though of this rig!

This is the Roid Ribbit rig.
Check out the YouTube walk through of this rig!

These should get you started nicely!

Also if you want you could grab the free creature kits from NewTek. Models were made in LightWave and ZBrush and are already rigged and textured and ready to go. I grabbed em both up to start teaching myself character animation prior to Block 2. Enjoy!
