I'm trying to rig this robot and I'm following the quadruped tutorial and also the help section but the proxy isn't finding more than 30 percent of the character.

Wondering if the proxy needs more points? The character is very box built with little points in most spots.

Maybe I should just create my own rig? but don't want to.
Also, the robot hands are claws with only two fingers. The rig won't let me delete other fingers, so I made the middle three fingers small to keep them out of the way.

But the biggest issue is the proxy.

You can see here how I'm having trouble getting the proxy groups. Works so good in the tutorial but still having trouble with this robot.

I downloaded some other models and this one seems to be working well.
The big difference is the polygon count. This model has about 60k polygons compared to the green robot with only 3k polygons.

Will keep testing this until I can get the original robot rigged.
