Powerloader

Get away from her. You . . . beast?

It's the iconic Powerloader from the film Aliens. You need to be licensed to drive this thing. Thankfully we've made work a lot easier for you. I have created a constraint rig which handles all 10 pistons on the loader, which makes managing movement as easy as any normal character. There is also an IK rig included.

NOTE: Be sure to follow the order of Applyting the constraint rig first, and then the IK rig.
NOTE: Be sure the loader is in the default pose before applying the constraint rig.
NOTE: Be warned, the constraint rig hides the bones which it applies to. This is because if you unhide them, and click them, your SFM will crash. so if you ever want to end a session REALLY inelegantly, do that. but otherwise, NEVER CLICK THE CONSTRAINTS. DO NOT UNHIDE AND CLICK THE CONSTRAINTS IN THE ANIMSET EDITOR.

Additional notes for use.
The powerloader uses the human skeleton, so once you have aligned your "rider" , you can lock them to the loader, and their movements will roughly follow correctly. You will probably want to unlock the Arms though.

The Control handles on the arms swivel forward and back. this makes holding them much easier.

The Light should be blinking. if it isnt. oops.

The original model comes from Aliens Colonial Marines.
