Bird Rigs
I checked this bird rigging reel a little while back and find these setups to be really intuitive and pretty straight forward; flexible controls producing proper articulation by Rebecca Lรณrien. You can see that the rigger has used a blend of fanning joints placed in anatomically correct position and spline based control/deformation, somewhat similar to or look alike Paule Neale’s Setup for the wing and feather system to achieve believable wing spreading, folding and flapping articulation.
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 ๐

Making of a 3D horse
Making of a 3D horse rigged with Maya Muscle by Saad Chlyeh of Mammoth Studio. Really nice job with the muscle and deformation. However, one note that can be improvised is the muscle jiggle at scapula – humorous region, it’s a bit too jiggly!
