time for a stretch

so i made a little tutorial for a friend of mine with my own way of rigging stretchy limbs. I hope it works for his project. So now im posting for everyone else why not share the little knowledge i have in the world.

 
its more for the advanced rigger in 3ds max but follow along and any one should be able to do this.

well here is a quick animation cycle for the troll. All rigged and animated in 1 day
Animation list in order is
1.walk cycle
2.idle
3.attack
4.damage
5.death

trolly wolly

well looks like i got away with my last update with no scraps or bruises XD. So i thought i add a update for ye on the rock troll :D end poly count 1300 im happy with that .
few touch ups on the texture left then he is ready for rigging and a few animations thrown on him.
ps. crystals my idea and they may be removed on final model meaning the poly count would be 1000 or sumthing like that
