Bionicle Rigging Showcase & Animation Test - June 2022

A rig (or rigs) I was tasked to produce for an ongoing VFX student Project. The rigs themselves are standard body rigs since facial rigging was not necessary for the scope of the project, nor what the animations themselves would need. Legs are rigged for IK with the arms in FK (with the option to switch to IK if needed), only one of the rigs have a showcase as both the rigs are so similar that adding the second one would be a bit redundant.
I added two test videos to showcase what the rigs are capable of, a short walk cycle featuring the "Hero" character and a pose test for the "Villain" character.
Both rigs were produced in Blender, and the creator of the models themselves (along with the textures) is a fellow student and partner on the project; Francois Esterhuizen.
Below is a link to his Artstation page and to his showcase of the models themselves;
