In this video I go over building a Spine Rig using Spline IK Handle in Maya and Blender! I am also delighted to share that Puppeteer Lounge is now offering rigging workshop 1 and 2 in Blender as well. Feel free to check out the program on here!
Rigging Workshop
Fundamental difference between rigging in Maya & Blender | Inverse Kinematics
In this video I go over some key difference between rigging in Maya & Blender focusing on bone and IK Handle creation. As a long time Maya user to me Blender is very new, has a lot of quirk and looks a bit modern compared to the dated Maya look. Also I have found Blender to be lot stable! Will be creating more overview videos like this regarding fundamental rigging difference so stay posted on Puppeteer Lounge YouTube channel by subscribing. Next videos will be set driven keys, constraints, skin weighting, etc.

Wrap3 FACS Facial Setup
At Puppeteer Lounge, we are launching a new facial rigging workshop called Wrap3 FACS Facial Setup training workshop. With this new workshop we will learn to setup a believable FACS based facial rig using DIY photogrammetry to 3D scan a face and integrate it to the pipeline for CGI animation creating your very own digital double. Learn to extract facial expression based on FACS from 3D scans. Make it compatible for 3D workflow and create a rig based on it. Learn to create automated maps for wrinkles and fine facial details. The motion capture ready FACS based facial rig is compatible with game engines and films. For this course we are using the amazing Wrap 3 tool-set!
