Buey de PiraΓ±a


A funny animated short “Buey de PiraΓ±a” by Leyenda Studio from Chile. I really liked the character design, the retro style and cartoony animation!

All the characters in the short was rigged by Francisco Tejo who has been studying advance character setup from Puppeteer Lounge for well over a year by now! Francisco is talented, hard working and a diligent artist. He is also multi-talented as he did shading and rendering for the short as well. I wish him the very best πŸ™‚

nCloth Setup ~ Puppeteer Lounge

nCloth Setup has been added to the On Demand Rigging Workshop. The course goes from the fundamentals to how we can layer nCloth dynamics to simulate not just cloth object but also how it can be added to enhance the body and facial deformation. Check out Puppeteer Lounge website for more info!

Also below is a really cool video showing skin tearing simulated using nCloth dynamics by HowardM!

Puppeteer Lounge “BODY MECHANICS”

Body mechanics is the place where most animators β€œGo Wrong.” If an animation does not have convincing mechanics, it does not look right even to the untrained eye.

The amazing world of BODY MECHANICS has now been added to the list of Puppeteer Lounge‘s online Animation Workshops!  Feel free to check the course details from here… Cheers πŸ˜‰

Animation Workshop

Puppeteer Lounge is pleased to announce Animation Workshops! Puppeteer Lounge started off initially as a character rigging training workshop but with the demand from our passionate students, we have kicked off the animation training workshop starting from the date of our 1st successful anniversary. Initially we will be starting off with Workshop 1 “BASIC FOUNDATION” and Workshop 2 “BODY MECHANICS” πŸ™‚

These workshops will be personally guided and mentored by Manish Shakya, an aspiring animator who have over 3 years experience as a character animator working for Incessant Rain Animation Studio. He is currently working as a freelance animator for Escape Animation and is also doing his graduation from Animation Mentor! He also did some of the animation work for the characters from the rigging workshop. Welcome aboard Manish πŸ™‚

Bird Wing Rig Test ~ Nicolas Rossi

A video demo for Bird Setup Workshop (The pupPetEEr’s Lounge) by Nicolas Rossi where he demonstrated some of the techniques he implemented to achieve a better wing and feather deformation.

During the online lecture session, we are always trying to figure out new and better ideas, tips and techniques to figure out more efficient rigging solution. It’s fun and always exciting to learn new stuffs and troubleshoot at the same time πŸ™‚
