Lots of arm rigs here, so I thought I'd post a simple leg. Nothing mind blowing, just a simple leg. There's a couple of bones with angle relations that help give the illusion of muscles flexing--thank you Vern. Also you'll notice that I have an extra bone on the foot, which I put an animated lock on--thank you member who's name I can't think of.
I'm a big fan of keeping things simple. Instead of cutting the leg into two vectors to create the crease effect I just have one vector with a manually drawn in "crease." The crease isn't perfect and needs some point animation, which I didn't add, for clarity.
