Thank you!! It's just a little over 29,000 polys. I wasn't too worried about the count since it's not intended for a game

Thank you! Are you working on a more realistic one i take it? Rock on!! As for rigging.. I haven't dove into it yet, but my plan is to do a really simple rig since AT-ST's movements are limited. Simple joint setup to turn the head and only like 3 or 4 joints for the legs, since it won't be like animating a person.. does any of that make sense? What are you going to have yours do? And what program are you using?

im using 3ds max, but my rigging knowledge is a bit basic, i was going to use IK chains where some of the joints are restricted, but i cant get it to work

Have you just tried using simple joints instead of IK chains? You might wanna check the normals too

how do you set that up?
not sure what you mean with normals for rigging

Not so sure in Max, I'd have to play with it a bit. I usually use Maya and there's a create joint tool that you can use to just make joints as opposed to Inverse Kinematics... There should be a choice in the Display options where you can show Normals (of the joints). Sometimes if they're not all facing the same way, it can affect the way the joints move...
