Hi Sandy I have just finished the Judd Simantov course. It was very Maya centric but all the techniques and theory can be easily transferred over to XSI and the weekly feedback was very useful. No fancy plugins used - just out of the box stuff mainly using joints and corrective shapes. All very good stuff and I would easily recommend the course.
This was my final outcome after the 8 weeks - still needs some cleanup. http://vimeo.com/jahirulamin/facialromtest Thanks J ________________________________ From: Sandy Sutherland <sandy.sutherl...@triggerfish.co.za> To: "softimage@listproc.autodesk.com" <softimage@listproc.autodesk.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 9:09 AM Subject: Rigging or Character TD type courses question 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.
