Creating a Stick man with rectangular sticks I tried creating a stickman rig with rectangular sticks. For easier understanding, this is what I have so far:



The Problem with it is, that I just used rectangular object and added some caps to them. Than I strapped each element via an empty to a bone. During render though I found out that Blender Render cannot render overlapping faces.

-> how would I go about modeling such a model without overlapping surfaces?

This is my first Blender creation, that's why I tried picking the simplest way to do things, as it is also the only way I know how to do it.

Thank you very much for helping me out :D
You need to make a single mesh instead of many small overlapping ones.

Start with a cube.


Then press "Tab" to go into edit mode
Then press "Ctrl + Tab" and select "Face"
Right click the top of the cube, press "G" then middle mouse button
then pull up, then right click

I can go on and on, email me at psuheena@yahoo.com
and we can set up a teamviewer so I can show you one on one if you want.
