Hey guys,
Thanks so much for the kind comments. I'm working on a new version of Johnny, I'm trying to implement all the suggestions you guys had as well and just making the rig a lot more solid. And maybe adding most customization options for him.
Brazz: Awesome work mate! Love his expression at the end! :D
Epower: Woo! That's awesome! Nice little scene as well!
Thanks again, I'd love to see any other animations you guys have! :D
I am a big fan of this one. Especially for beginners it's perfect since there aren't tons of confusing controls.
Here is my work

Nice rig. Simple controls and clean. Great to practice some animation fundamentals.
As I already requested, would love a way to rotate the box in diferent pivots.
great job on this rig. keep it up.
I thought you would like to see my test on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDYlw8LOm7I
cheers,
I finally managed to install Maya 2012 to test it, but I am disappointed on some points :
- The stretch doesn't working well, the cube gains in volume instead.
- The shape is not as clean as the previous version.
The good points :
- The controllers that allows to move Johnny's bottom and top parts independently.
- Better Eyes (but still some problems if we move them, making the shape changing)
I prefer to stay with the previous version of Johnny because it has a better stretch and, in my opinion, a better shape when I rotate the top. For me, the perfect version of Johnny would be the first one with the second one's eyes and the independent controllers ! Also, putting a scale value on the middle controller, allowing to change the volume at any moment, would be perfect.
I love the first Johnny, so I'm looking forward to see another version of it in the future, keep it up !
so far i haven't downloaded that many rigs.. mostly because most of them where very disappointing. this one is with no doubt the best rig so far.. :D super nice simple idea and a great rig for it.. your eye rig gave me a load of ideas for rigging. not only for eyes but all sorts of things! and thats the only reason i download rigs.. to get inspired. but until i came across this one, there had only been useless controls that only made things less intuitive and confusing to work with..
