Its a tough call. I only took the general TD with Python in XSI with Raf. Hopefully they'll be selling it stand alone shortly. I haven't seen any others that are terribly appealing. Not saying they don't offer great quality but its hard to tell without word of mouth and recommendations, basically what you're asking for. :)
Overall I think rigging-wise you can get a lot out of rigging courses even if they are Maya based. It's more the concepts and approaches than actual application. If you're going to a course to just see how to push this button and then this one, then this one... so on and so on, you're not going to get anything out of it. I'd try to find a bunch of different course and see if you can email the instructor ahead of time to get an overview of the course and ask more in depth questions about what you're hoping to learn from it. Also ask for references that you can email / ask opinions in regards to the course. I have a mixed riggng experience from XSI to Maya and back and many rigging concepts are universal. Implementation in the application is where it varies, not the concepts. I saw this one a while back, not sure about how good it is: http://www.riggingdojo.com/ -------------------------------------------- Eric Thivierge http://www.ethivierge.com On Wed, Jun 20, 2012 at 6:09 PM, Sandy Sutherland < sandy.sutherl...@triggerfish.co.za> wrote: > Hi Guys, > > Quick question - what do you guys think would be the best Rigging or > Character TD type course to have someone take - would be ideally an online > type course. > > Currently the idea is to start with the 8 week Facial Rigging by Judd > Simantov off cgsociety - > http://workshops.cgsociety.org/courseinfo.php?id=275 - anyone done this > course, it looks quite good but I am concerned it is Maya-centric? > > This is for one of our Riggers who is going for the lead role. > > Thanks for any input. > > S. > > _____________________________ > Sandy Sutherland > Technical Supervisor > sandy.sutherl...@triggerfish.co.za > _____________________________ > > > > >
