Interesting and cool tool demo on creating/simulating an ocean wave! Reminds me of “Surf’s Up” movie 🙂

iPad GUI with 3DSMAX

Check out this cool test video by Iker showing an ipad touch screen GUI to control the facial rig in 3dsMax. Iker mentions that he used TouchOSC and Motion Capture controllers on 3DSMAX to create an interface that allows the user to set expressions on the character using an iPad!

Check out this cool demo on facial rigging by Ricardo Jost Resende! Really expressive facial setup derived from nice sculpts and simple UI. It’s fun to watch 🙂

He mentioned that this is his first facial rigging looking at Stop Starring book by Jason Osipa!

Shadow Rig by Martial FONTAN

Check out this unique rig! Very Flexible and intuitive design for a shadow character. Really liked the way the head, facial and finger controls are setup-ed on 3D geometry and later projected onto 2D shadow 🙂
