Rigging, FK, IK controllers - and how to create a nurbs curve in 30000 hours

Rigging today...

So I find the rigging process and creating the hierarchy fairly relaxing...

Creating a Nurbs Circle with 8 sections, and a Nurbs Cube....3 hours of tension !!!!!

For my own notes, so that next time it's not so laborious...

For the wrist controller cube...

Make coffee.

Put on Music.

Create Polygon Primitive Cube

Create an EP curve (curve tools)

Set cube to component mode 

Shift select EP curve

Snap to points (part of the magnetic toolbar icon)

Select cube, component mode, shift select new curve and snap vertices to the cube corner vertices.

Adjust, tweak and repeat (for about 30000 hours) until all cube edges have a curve (straight line!) attached to them. 

Delete cube in outliner

Select all curves (straight lines) and under curves drop down menu, select 'attach'.

Hopefully all the curves will now glue together and become one complete object...

And now back to the straightforward easy part of rigging....
