Rigging
Once I am finished with the look and the colors, I send it to LW 9.3 and I start developing the bones for the posing and all the necessary weightmaps to pull the geometry with the selected bones. Again, this is a slow process with a lot of testing to make sure I get the right functionalities. Once the naming is finished and the bones function properly, I start rigging it in a simplistic manner, I need the legs to bend properly and the arms to fold in with the shoulders. Once that is done, Posing would be the next step.
Posing
I usually have a pose or a position that I have in mind before I even start. It is just a matter of tweaking until I get it just right and when it is set, I would then freeze the pose and send it back to Modo. I would then sculpt any small problems to make it look even better in the pose.
