Re-Post of the animated short “RUN” by Puppeteer Lounge’s animation instructor David Good. Check it out! The short is about PTSD or Post-traumatic stress disorder where a soldier is confronted by his unresolved past! The portrayal of the character is very nicely done.

F.A.S.T

F.A.S.T from clovis gay on Vimeo.

Check out this cool video demo of F.A.S.T by
Clovis Gay. Inspired by what Pixar showed on Presto, this tool will
really speed up your animation workflow. There is no need to select and
manipulate controller to pose the character, the puppet is controlled by manipulating predefined mesh zones with your mouse movements.

You can get the tool currently available for 3ds Max here: http://www.kinematiclab.com/#!fast/cokv

P.S. the head model/scan used in the demo can be purchased from: http://www.triplegangers.com/

HRCS (Rigging Workshop 3) Facial Setup WIP Demo from Suchan Bajracharya on Vimeo.

Check
out this quick WIP facial rig demo from Puppeteer Lounge‘s Rigging Workshop 3 (Hyper
Real Character Setup). The rig currently is based upon muscle, joints
and blendshapes. Small details like wrinkles, folding/creases will be
added upon based on triggered maps. Sticky lips/eyes and skin
sliding/dynamics will also be featured for more accurate facial
deformation. Stay tuned for our student’s reel!

You can also watch body rig/deformation demo here: https://vimeo.com/99830628
