Student Feedbacks ~ Raluca Feresteanu
Puppeteer Lounge’s student Raluca Feresteanu from Germany shares her opinions and feedbacks:
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!!!
Thank you Raluca! We are glad that you choose to learn from us. All the best and we are looking forward for a great reel complete with you animation skill-set

2013 – Implicit Skinning: Real-Time Skin Deformation with Contact Modeling
Linear blending has been the primary choice of deformation for many years now. Then comes the Dual Quaternions system, which does preserve volume but deformation often results with bulging and in-appropriate deformation. Check out the Implicit Skinning, which as seen in this demo is a real-time solution to preserve not just volume but also simulate skin contact. Great stuff!
