Help Needed! DIY Digitigrade Harness?

[Halo_1]

Hey all,

I'm in need of any advice/words of wisdom/tutorials on building a digitgrade foot harness for myself.

Any links or help would be greatly appreciated. Even manufacturers.

Gracias!

Stay safe,

Tim.

It's been done but not often and not easily. Most people just fake it with padding. There's 2 high-quality production studio versions I know of.

Mikey from MIB 1:

and Namtar from an episode of Farscape in season 1:

Non-professionals have tried it with varying results. These guys have a great looking setup but don't sell their stuff: http://www.lordsofthehoof.com/index_files/construction.html
This guy's tried it but didn't get far: http://www.angelfire.com/d20/roll_d3_for_this/

Other people fake it by using those german "Powerskip" stilts that look like leafsprings.

Here's my old thread I started, looking for similar information. I haven't gotten anywhere with it yet, unfortunately. No time or materials. :}
