I have taken two Workshops (for now!), and they were great. A lot of information, very well organized. Suchan is really good and very professional, aside from being a great person :), which makes the complex world of rigging a lot more fun and enjoyable.

So, THANKS Suchan for sharing your knowledge!

Hi Suchan I am happy to tell that I learned a lot from you. For a beginner like me, it was very helpful experience. I could learn at my pace, at any time. I was confused after following some rigging tutorials. The basic workshop was very good in helping me build a proper workflow. I felt that you were thoroughly professional in training and gave importance to even minute details. I hope I could continue learning from you.

Just a quick note thanking you for the fantastic workshop you are giving. The notes and the way you approach your presentation were exactly what I needed. Your sense of humor created a light-hearted learning environment. You created a wonderful opportunity and experience for me by your workshop. I am honored and grateful.

I really like Pupeteers Lounge. I have learned so much in a short time. It never felt like uneasy learning and Suchan took his time explaining everything I wasn't sure about.

Could you do me a favor and give me some kind of "confirmation of completion" document 🙂 would be nice. I would suggest you to do this for all your students, it looks good 🙂

Suchan is a very friendly person and also a great instructor. He teached me some under the hood stuffs, that a lot of other people/friends/teachers simple hide from you. He´s very punctual with the classes and did all of the proposed on the workshop. Very soon I´ll take more classes!

I thoroughly enjoyed the hair system workshop with Suchan. He is a great teacher and the classes were well organized. Suchan taught me the basics and then moved to the more advanced setup in the specific topic of hair system rigging, step by step, in very well organized learning path. Now I have understood the principles, I can apply those in many different scenarios depending on the rigging needs. This was exactly what i was looking for when i joined the workshop. Also, more importantly, the one to one formula of teaching in the workshop gave me the opportunity to have an immediate answer to any questions i had regarding the topic during the lessons. I want also to thank Suchan for his availability to answer general rigging questions not fully related with hair system so that I also had the opportunity to learn even more.

I am very happy that I studied animation at Puppeteer Lounge. Instructor Manish Shakya is very good at teaching and goes in-depth from the basic or the fundamental of animation and its principles. They let me feel like friend as the learning environment is very friendly and creative. This is the best place to study character animation. So, come and join Puppeteer Lounge and animate your dreams!

I found at Puppeteer Lounge, a new experience of learning. Animation becomes easier and more interesting learning in a very friendly environment from skilled instructor. And also, completing animation course within 5 special workshops in the shortest amount of time is the reason why I decided to learn from here. So, I think all over Nepal, this is the best animation training center where we can enhance our animation skills and create opportunities in our life.

In my opinion, Puppeteer Lounge Rigging Workshop is a MUST for everybody who are looking to work with rigging. Suchan teaches you and explains everything with a high level of details! What makes me a lot happy is the flexible schedule. For real I will be back soon! Thanks Suchan you´re amazing guy and teacher!

Eduardo Cavalcante

Suchan's consultancy service and workshop have been a tremendous inspiration to riggers in our studio.

With no senior rigging supervisor in-house, Suchan's consultancy has just filled in the missing position.

By providing instant feedback and hands-on guidance, riggers can benefit from Suchan's advice which gears their work towards the right direction. " “HEAD of Production | TWR”

It was my first time with Python and programming language in wider terms, and step by step, after a few lessons I was able to make my own scripts.

The flexibility, of taking the classes when i want, was what i needed and that's the real power of Puppeteer Lounge, I'm really glad I applied for the Python Workshop!

Fabio Siino

Italy

So far it has been a great experience. The process of learning Python has been very hard but the instructor has been patience thru the whole learning process.

The experience of learning rigging and scripting was amazing. The mentor was very patient and posses great knowledge of all the technical and artistic aspect of the rigging process. I feel ready to tackle any challenge that will come in future projects.

Lenin Garcia

Really enjoyed and learned a lot in my first Animation Workshop at Puppeteer Lounge. The instructor was so professional, always worried that you understand clearly in the class. The Puppeteer Lounge is the best option for all artists of all levels who want to increase their animation skills.

Topher Chang

Ecuador

I can't recommend Puppeteer Lounge enough, they are doing a fantastic job. They are really worried about their students and are willing to take some extra time if there are unanswered questions. The tutor has a strong understanding of the told material and knows about the problems each starting student has to work with. I learnt so much stuff in such a short amount of time, so if you are interested in some of the workshops feel free to ask them everything you want to know, they are a really nice and obliging team. Every penny is more than worth you spend on their workshops!

Achim Wirth

The fact that you guys really work to help out working professionals isn't something I'll forget. I've been recommending you to others and I'll continue to do so in the future.

Charles Wardlaw

In this 15 class Rigging Workshop I learned to construct a complete human rig that any animator will be happy to work with! Every class was very clear and understandable and the schedule was great because I could choose the day and time that I wanted. I am very happy about my decision to take this workshop at Puppeteer Lounge!!!

Raluca Feresteanu

Germany

When one of my clients asked for the model I designed and modeled for them to be "animation-ready," I discovered how rusty my rigging skills were… Puppeteer Lounge got me up and running in a matter of days! something other schools would have taken weeks, if not months and with ridiculous expense. Suchan's experience, knowledge and - specially with me, patiences, made this whole process not only easy to understand, but most important… enjoyable! My client not only was impressed with the rigging, but has commissioned more characters for his project. I recommend Puppeteer Lounge to anyone who wants to get up and running with rigging quickly and with confidence.

Frank Guthrie

USA

My experience with puppeteer lounge was highly valuable. Taking the advanced workshop course was a great learning experience, where I developed and improved my rigging skills to a stronger and more refined level. The tasks were well thought out to encompass a wide variety of subjects that cover what is expected of a character TD in the industry. Suchan also provided good productive and encouranging feedback that helped me produce strong material for my rigging reel.

Naweed Khan

I took the “Basic Foundation” Animation Workshop to improve my animation and to learn how to use Maya. I was very pleased with the course; the small class sizes as well as the open and friendliness of the teacher created an engaging and fun environment to learn. As soon as I finish “Basic Foundation” I will straight away be starting “Body Mechanics” and in the future I would like to take some of the rigging and python courses that Puppeteer Lounge has to offer.

James Rowbotham

I have learned so much from your courses. I will definitely be take other workshops as well the auto rig workshops. Amazing school! 🙂

Nigel Poole

Technologies that I have learned in face cartoon rig master class are very comfortable in use and functional. Therefore, with some modifications done, currently we are using these rigs in the place where i work- Kazakhstan animation studio. Our animators are very satisfied with these new face rigs! Recently I have enrolled for “Motion Capture Facial Setup ” master class and I am definitely planning to go on with it. This school is great with loyal prices!

Andrey Filimonov

Kazakhstan

All I can say is wow! I was really only expecting a video, you guys really go above and beyond to give your students the resources to learn. Up until this point I just thought you guys were like all the other workshops/tutorial videos out there, where it's only the video and maybe a scene file; which is fine but this is fantastic, it makes me all that more excited!

Aaron Carlisle

USA

I am currently doing rigging workshop 2 and it's fantastic the amount of topics it covers, it's full of neat tricks to learn and implement on your own cartoon characters and the tutor explains every step of the process in great detail I totally recommend it. I'll be doing workshop 3 after I finish this one.

Edgar Jardim

David taught me to really look and analyze motion. So we could understand why something moves the way it does and how to apply that to our own animations. Thanks to his feedback I learned to pay attention to the details when refining my animations.

Jeff Metz

I want to thank Suchan and Puppeteer Lounge for sharing the knowledge with me. It really pushed my rigging skill into another level. I do recommend everyone who want to be a rigger seriously, and want to build a strong reel to take some of the courses here, it will make you different.

Harris Wu

I am very glad to know about Puppeteer lounge rigging workshops.

Puppeteer Lounge is the best place to start your journey with rigging.

Maciej Czapla

Poland

I`m very happy with my experience in Puppeteer Lounge because I learned how to make a entire rig with a world-class quality being sure that's going to be friendly with any animator. Also, with the rigging workshops you become more than a simple rigger, you understand and apply all the additional areas which help to make you a good rigger and better artist, as anatomy, sculpture, logical thinking and more. All the investment that you make on PL really worth it.

William Esteban Méndez

Best institute in Nepal for 3D Animation. Thanks to Puppeteer Lounge training in 3D animation, I have now started my own startup 77 Studio where I use my 3D animation skills that I learned to good use.

Ronit Shakya

Nepal

I came being already professional but I needed to group my knowledge, to add options and to test the system. In the end the cartoon rig is very stable furthermore it is easy to develop, to add more options, thanks to its design. Suchan is very attentive on the way back and does not hesitate to take time with you for debug or to find other solutions. He also takes time to analyze the options which you want to implement to make for you returns above. Very reactive and always around, it is a pleasure to have an instructor of this quality! I recommend to Puppeteer Lounge to the beginners as well as pro riggers who wish to improve their skills. To summarize, high quality workshops for a completely reasonable price. Thanks to the Puppeteer Lounge team!

My rigging skills have improved immensely since my time with PL. The rigs that have been taught to me are robust and of professional quality. I love that the workshops are constantly revised and improved upon as new techniques are developed. Suchan is a great teacher and will guide you through complex rigging techniques and make it seem easy. I will be attending future workshops and would recommend it to anyone with a strong desire to have a professional career in 3D animation.

Luis Gerardo Garcia

I really want to thank you for providing this wonderful workshop to people for a very reasonable price, where most people in the US spend enormous amounts of their time and investment into some places that only provide them with either next to nothing in terms of being relevant to the industry, or having any skills to embark on their journey into it. I'm glad I found this company to learn from.

Stafford Ahartz

I feel really happy with all the knowledge I got in class, and also I can say it is one of the best decision I took. Learning from Suchan is always great because of his knowledge and because he makes you feel comfortable in class, where you will get clarify about your doubts.

Great place to learn 3d Animation in Nepal. I highly recommend it. I joined Puppeteer Lounge for Rigging Workshops and I learned many new techniques. As a beginner starting out in 3D rigging, Puppeteer Lounge guided me from the basics and now I can rig my own great quality 3D characters for animation!

Shuva Shakya

Nepal

Puppeteer Lounge is a rigger's dream come true, offering affordable workshops on every aspect of rigging one can imagine, with new content being regularly added. Suchan, Puppeteer Lounge's CEO and rigging instructor, is easily one of the best teachers I've ever had. His workshops somehow manage to be extremely thorough without being overwhelming and he's always quick and eager to respond if you have any questions. If you want to grow as a rigger, I can't think of any better place than Puppeteer Lounge. My only regret is not discovering it sooner.

Ben Rosenstein

I’m on week 19 of the live Rigging Workshop III with Suchan and I couldn’t be happier. He has gone above and beyond with the training, giving me information, materials, and critique that I know isn’t officially part of the class. You can tell Suchan has a real passion for teaching and is not only extremely knowledgeable of his craft but also cares about the success of his students.
I have a summer internship at a game studio and I have to say that a lot of it is due to the quality of the training I’ve received here. If you’re looking for classes that will both challenge you artistically, technically, and professionally, this is the school for you. I will definitely be taking more classes here in the future.”

Sachina and Suchan were wonderful mentors! I learned a lot from this workshop. I can’t wait to start on my next workshop with them!”

Justin Alvez Santos

I am in the middle of Rigging Workshop 2 to make a cartoon character setup and it has been very helpful, all the techniques that I have learned are helping me to understand the bottom of rigging knowledge and not just some way to rig, this is very important because in studios you have to deal with a lot of problem solving and this course is helping me to improve that, the way it all comes together with the mix of advance features is helping me to achieve a good level to apply on different requirements of my work as a freelance rigger. Suchan is always open to help with questions even if they are not related to the course itself, just for the understanding of rigging. It is also an affordable course that let you manage your time according to your life schedule without rushing it or interfering with other tasks you may have, I definitely recommend puppeteer courses!

Working through the Cartoon Quadruped workshop with Suchan as my mentor has been an incredibly fun and educational experience. Suchan is an excellent teacher with a vast amount of knowledge and expertise within the area of rigging who cares greatly about a students learning experience and requirements. I can't recommend Puppeteer Lounge enough to anyone looking to advance their skill set further within the area of rigging or the 3D pipeline in general, the team are a credit to themselves and I can't wait to see what other awesome content they bring about in the future. 5 STARS!

I took the Super toon workshop and found it to be very complete. It helped me learn a more specific type of rig while reviewing the basics I had already learned in school. Most important, it gave me a better understanding of connections and expressions within the system so that I could better problem solve this structures and have an overall higher performance. I am sure this will help me in future projects, and with my portfolio. Great experience.

Grethel Guardia

I took the Workshop 3 - Hyper Real Character Setup as part of the Rigging Courses from Puppeteer Lounge. Throughout the course, I learned invaluable techniques and methods that have made a great impact on my own rigging workflow. Suchan is an excellent teacher, who knows his stuff and is very clearly passionate about rigging when teaching, making the lectures both enjoyable and knowledgeable. He was also very understanding of my busy schedule, and was very kind to reschedule classes often to accommodate. I highly recommend Puppeteer Lounge from my own experience, and hope to see more in the future.

Raffaele Weiss

Completed my MEL Workshop 1 and Cartoon Character Setup Workshop. I would definitely recommend Puppeteer Lounge to a newbie and even to an experienced rigger to add to their skills. Suchan is an amazing instructor and throughout the workshop you will learn multiple techniques which are used in production and not only just the syllabus but will help you with problem-solving and troubleshooting different errors.

Umesh Panigrahy

India

Suchan and his classes at Puppeteer Lounge were an essential part of my education experience. Traditional colleges and universities cannot offer the same level of attention and depth as Puppeteer Lounge. I was hired very soon after graduating and it would not have been possible without taking classes from Suchan. From my experience Puppeteer Lounge is well known and highly regarded in the industry so there is a good chance an employer will already have heard of Suchan and his classes once you start looking for work as a rigging artist. Learning rigging the last few years has been a rewarding experience and Suchan conducts all his classes with patience and a friendly attitude!

Mitchell Hardy

Canada

Suchan helped me grow my rigging skills tremendously! I already had some basic knowledge, but now I have a true fundamental understanding and skills to solve any rigging problems on the way! He even helped out with the showreel, which is also very appreciated. I highly recommend Puppeteer Lounge to anyone who wants to take their rigging to the next level!

Casandra Johnson

I learned general knowledge of Rigging at my animation college but, I wasn't so pleased, So I wanted to find a good Rigging course online to improve my skills and find Puppeteer Lounge. I am happy that I choose  "rigging workshop 2" online,  I learn a lot of new technique, different ways of approaching rigging, Suchan the instructor  is a good and friendly person, have a lot of knowledge in the field , also very flexible in the meeting schedule ,and you chose your own pace.

Last couple of month I took 3 courses here (Workshop 2, auto rigging, and intro to mel scripting).

Most friendly and patient person ever! Highly recommended!!

The "Advanced Creature Rigging" course has been instrumental in deepening my understanding of creature rigging.

I can't say enough about my wonderful experience with Puppeteer Lounge. As someone passionate about 3D animation, I was seeking a place that not only offered top-notch training and production services but also had a welcoming and friendly environment. Puppeteer Lounge delivered on all fronts. These training programs are outstanding, with knowledgeable instructors who are not just subject matter experts in their fields but also superb educators.

Salomi Rai

Rigging character classes can be a daunting task, but with the Puppeteer Lounge school, it becomes a rewarding experience. Throughout my journey, I found that attention to detail and patience are key elements in creating a seamless rig that brings characters to life. Learning about skeletal structures, skinning techniques, and weight painting was both challenging and fulfilling.While certainly not without moments of frustration, overcoming obstacles in rigging ultimately led to a sense of fulfillment and growth. The teacher's support and assistance not only gave me confidence but helped elevate my abilities to a new level. Each successfully rigged character class felt like a step forward in my journey as a digital artist and animator.

Being among the initial trainees to complete Puppeteer Lounge's 3D rigging course, I can say with confidence that it has been an enriching experience. The teachers are knowledgeable and dedicated, providing valuable insights and guidance throughout the course. The learning environment is vibrant and supportive, fostering creativity and collaboration among students. As a well-wisher, I heartily endorse Puppeteer Lounge to anyone considering a career in 3D animation. 🙂👍🏻

Arati Shilpakar

Nepal

I had a great time at Rigging Workshop 4 with Puppeteer Lounge. I learned about body muscle simulation using the Ziva plugin and how to use it in a production pipeline. I also learned about facial blendshape combination system to achieve a more realistic facial rig.

Rayner Brian Hendry

Indonesia

I joined the Puppeteer Lounge as an art graduate wanting to grow my knowledge for matte painting. At the very beginning I only thought I would strictly stick to digital painting. I had a lot of doubts about learning other mediums but after a lot of advice and support from the mentors from PL I was able to broaden my horizons. Now I not only paint but I also do texture art and 3d modeling.

Plus the environment to learn is super chill and friendly. You get to learn whatever you want at your own pace which I think is super important to any creative person.

I would totally recommend PL to anyone who wants to grow their knowledge related to 3D animation, rigging and stuff.
