Cartoon rig reel by my student Esteban Mendez. The character design, model, texture and rigging is all done by him!
Esteban is currently busy with our Rigging Workshop 2 (Cartoon
Character Rigging). Will be posting some of his amazing progress works!
Check out the facial rig demo by my student Andrey Filiminov. Andrey took the Cartoon Facial Setup workshop with us.
I had some great time teaching Blendshape Combination System and it’s workflow on creating a realistic facial rig during by teaching process at Puppeteer Lounge. The BCS toolset is a gem of a tool, highly recommended for those into feature film quality production.
You can learn how to setup your very own cool facial rig using BCS with me at Puppeteer Lounge. For more info click here!
Puppeteer Lounge have an updated quadruped setup workshop
where we go over rigging a lovely cartoon dog model. The workshop
consists of 8 classes or approximately 8 hours of lecture time (Body and
facial included)!
The character modeling is done by our
very talented student Edgar Jardim who is currently busy with Rigging
Workshop 2. Special thanks to Edgar for the model and request for the
new workshop.
BTW the models name is Bobby and can be used by our animation students in their assignments too 🙂

Kangaroo – Rig breakdown by Iker. IK + FK + Offset tail is a cool feature!
Creature animation reel by Puppeteer Lounge student Antoine Cunningham. Antoine also worked on the creature setup and dynamics.
Nice tool by student Damien VIE to re-create shape model from the weight list in the blend-shape node. Very handy!
Very cool! Skin sliding, collision system, muscle flex and relax features seems very interesting.
Check out the facial deformation/expression
demo by Chris Bostjanick. Fantastic eye movements. A lot of hard work
here with facial shapes!
