Alien-weight painting and attributes

when i heard about weight painting i thought it was going to be quiet easy just whack a lot of colour everywhere and it would work fine... but to dismay it doesnt work like that and you have to carefully put/ take away paint from places. the paint being the influence on the joints, white being it has full influence and black meaning there is no influence at all. i think i did this pretty well on the and everything seemed to move nicely.

 after the weight painting we had to add custom attributes to the controllers so that the model would be easier to animate. the attributes that i added to the foot controller were peel heel, toe tap, stand tip, twist toe and twist heel. these attributes will make it easy to make a walk cycle and do general things using the legs e.g. stamping out a cigarette. i also added a fist attribute to the hand controllers and blink to the eye controllers.
