Student’s Feedback

Asya Alkooheji ~ “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.”

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 🙂
