Training Workshop
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” 🙂
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 🙂
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 🙂
Bean ~ Cartoony Vehicle Setup
Here comes Bean, the cartoony vehicle character featured on the menu for my online rigging workshops (The pupPetEEr’s Lounge). The course deals on creating a feature animation ready, fully Car – Toony, squash and stretch integrated, bendy and deformable vehicle rig with an intuitive and expressive facial setup!
Cheers 🙂

Mr. BallBot “The Transfomer Concept”
A quick concept art that I sketched up for my new upcoming workshop on Transformer setup!
Mr. BallBot transforms from a spherical ball into a bipedal robot, therefore the name goes Mr. BallBot. The concept is still a work in progress and I am constantly figuring out new ideas. The idea is to keep everything simple and subtle.
Well the sketching part was fun now comes the time to start modelling which is going to be fairly technical. Once the modelling is done, I will be posting a 360 turntable video prior to rigging!
I am already excited to see BallBot transform and come to life 🙂
Stay tuned folks The Transformer Workshop is coming soOn … well not that sOon 😛
Workshop Assets

Auto Rig Tools Workshop
A new Workshop ON Demand has been added to the Menu!!!
“Auto Rig Tool workshop will focus on creating a fully customizable bipedal character rig using automated tools. Using these tools one can setup a character rig in a matter of minutes with just a click of a button saving both time and resources to deliver quality rigs. The workshop includes setting up an interactive user interface to create and connect custom rig set for body parts such as head, torso, arm, leg and finger. Tools are created using MEL.”

Mini-Course Mentoring @ Rigging Dojo!
Teaching is truly another form of learning for me! Recently I conducted a little mini course at Rigging Dojo, sharing some of the ideas, tips and techniques for creating a Dynamic Rig! During this time, I was very pleased after receiving all those cool feedback from the students. I would like to thank Brad “The Founder of Rigging Dojo” and the entire Rigging Dojo team including the awesome students for this wonderful interactive opportunity. I really had a wonderful time 🙂
Tejo 360 Turntable!
Here is a 360 degree modeling turntable video of “Tejo”, the muscular creature for my Muscle Setup workshop! I had to work out a nice topology and edge flow maintaining the muscular anatomical volume of the character. Let’s see what this beast is up to with all those brute muscle! Gonna be FUN 😉
