v2.0 with some more facial controls and other bells and whistles done by David Andrade

Squirrely is a free rig for noncommercial use only. I wanted a "ball like" character with a tail to play with for animation tests and Squirrely came into being. Hope you enjoy him. Here's a test animation done to test the rig.

And here's another great animation done by Valerie Morrison:

Features:

• Body Rigged with The Setup Machine 2
  • Stetchy IK Spine
  • FK/IK Switchable Arms and Legs
  • Limb mirroring
  • Auto/Manual Stretch limbs
  • Character Sets Set up for proper keying
  • Tail/Ear Controls
  • Finger/Toe FK/IK
  • LowRes Proxy Geometryy mode for faster playback
  • Character scaleable via master control
  • Hideable tail via "COG"
  • Face Camera
• Facial rig
• Limited yet functional facial rig
• FK/IK Eye Rig - set up via my good friend Scott Englert's Tutorial
• Eyelid Tracking/Blinking Control - setup via John Doublestein's Tutorial
  

Recommendations:

• EyeBlend Control transitions between Joystick/look at control for the eyes
• Use the character sets - one of my nit picks with the setup machine is that the FK/IK swich attributes are located on the COG control. As such, having limited keying sets via selection sets or quickselection sets is a hassle. The characters sets make sure you key all the appropriate attributes
• FK/IK Arms and Leg switching accessed via the TSM controls
• Mirroring accessed via TSM Controls
  

Requests:

• I'm not great at shading/texturing. If anyone wants to come up with some slicker stuff you want incorporated, lemme know.
• Tag animations you do with him as "Squirrely" on YouTube, Vimeo or the like. I'd like to see em.
• Have fun:)
