Thanks everyone, Really helpful – thanks for the recommendations. I think the mentoring route is the going to be beneficial – I have a ton of questions, so it would be cool to speak to someone about process and get some feedback on my rigs – I think I’ll try Rigging Dojo and speaking to Dave at Animschool.

Im not really interested in "learning" Maya and thankfully i only have to animate on it... but i feel a complete stranger (and junior) now that Soft is no more...

Any recommendations? I would prefer not to have a course aimed at beginners, just something that can introduce some mid/high level concepts and techniques. Having said that, as I need to learn an entire new toolset it’s probably wise to start with the basics (as long as it moves quickly into other areas). Has anyone taken the iAnimate course? http://www.ianimate.net/workshops/rigging.html Animschool also allows you to take a single class via its express option as well - http://www.animschool.com/Catalog/ProgramDescription.aspx?ID=1#<http://www.animschool.com/Catalog/ProgramDescription.aspx?ID=1> Any help, opinions or guidance much appreciated… Cheers Sofronis (Saf) Efstathiou Postgraduate Framework Leader and BFX Competition & Festival Director Computer Animation Academic Group National Centre for Computer Animation Email: sefstath...@bournemouth.ac.uk<mailto:sefstath...@bournemouth.ac.uk> Tel: +44 (0) 1202 965805 Profile: http://uk.linkedin.com/in/sofronisefstathiou Student Work: http://www.youtube.com/NCCA3DAnimation http://www.youtube.com/NCCADigitalFX http://www.youtube.com/NCCAAnimation [cid:image001.jpg@01D00C4E.CEA1FF90]<http://ncca.bournemouth.ac.uk/> [cid:image002.png@01D00C4E.CEA1FF90] <http://www.bfxfestival.com/> [cid:image003.jpg@01D00C4E.CEA1FF90] Awarded for world-class computer animation teaching with wide scientific and creative applications [http://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/Images/QueensAwardLogo.jpg] BU is a Disability Two Ticks Employer and has signed up to the Mindful Employer charter.
