how to rig 3 characters at the same time?

[pelos]

hey guys,
how can i rig 3 characters with the same rig?

i did the rig. very basic, is a Ant with 4 legs and FK arms that's it.
each character is different height.

is there any thing special tool to use?
or do i have to rig each one?

Several possibilities:

1. If the characters had the same size you can duplicate the rig and use it on the others

2. You can use the XSI Biped Rig to generate rigs of different sizes

3. You can learn how to script and create custom rigs with 2-3 clicks

If you do understand rigging and want to get more technical, scripting is your next move.

thanks,
well i wanted to do them all the same size and then rescale them with the bones or the master null.
look i will use the rig on XSi or do all of them apart =(

i did a lot of rigging in messiah studio, but i started with xsi like 2 months ago.
where else i can get more info about scripting for xsi?

You better start learning rigging in XSI first, then move to scripting.
Although generally similar, rigging methods in XSI tend to differ in wokflow from other 3D software.
To learn more about rigging, I suggest the 3Dmastermind rigging DVD (although I haven't personally watched it), and my own RiggingPRO XSI DVD, which covers rigging a bipedal character from scratch.
For scripting material, I think my own Scripting 101 and Automatic Rigging DVDs are the only ones available atm.
I am working on new scipting DVDs to be released soon.
