I am student of 3D Animation at Seneca College in Toronto. One of my teachers gave me your name as one of the best animators and riggers. I’m glad that I know about you now and will definitely go through your videos and use your tutorials.

As one of our assignments we should talk to an animator we have never met before and ask some questions. I don’t want to take so much of your time, some short answers to my few questions would be greatly appreciated. And it will help me and my fellow students to learn more about you and the route you have taken to get where you are now.

here are the questions:

1. What path have you taken to become an animator?

2. What type of work are you doing now?

3. Where do you want to be in the future?

4. What is your favorite movie?

Thanks very much for your time and answers,

Tahereh

I was just wondering where I could find your twos.mel script, if it’s still available for download. I’m working on my graduate reel and it would definitely help me a lot.

Thanks,
Natalie

sorry if annoying and thanks in advance

These tutorial are awesome.
Do you plan to make some video for rigging quadrupeds or birds ?

oh ok

not sure when the pilot is coming to nickelodeon.. I’m not involved with that part of things. my focus is all on the feature animation side.

i was wondering because i have had the time of my life writing one for Monsters vs. Aliens

ps, when is the tv show going to start up with the pilot on Nickelodeon?

im a devote fan of the Movie and am concerned im going to miss it like the BOB app…

Are these dvds same one which were available for Autodesk subscribers and if so is there any update on them.

Thank you very much sir.

Your interviews are awesome! You should write a book and see how it does on lulu. When I was in school there was a copy of your rigging bundle that I watched a lot. its great to see more material available here.

So jsFkIkArmRig.mel is used by the jsFkIkSetup.mel script. If you have the docs that you used when you purchased the dvd, page 48 starts the documentation on how to use it.

Do you have the docs that came with the dvd & jsFkIkSetup.mel?

when/where did you purchase them?

I’ve bought your AFR bundle a long time ago and there was no
documentation about the scripts that you gave us.

I’m trying to figure out how to use the jsFkIkArmRig.mel for exemple.

How can I get those documentations?

thank’s

enjoy!

in your readme file, you mention a video tut? .. but you have changed a domain, so that link does not load up .. would you, also and please, have this movie available as well ? .. i would like to show it to the students, would be faster that way

thank you much

I would like to quickly ask if your script for drawing in Maya is still available. I was not able to find the DOWNLOAD page that you refer to in your blog, neighter a log in …

so I wonder if it is still available. Would be awesome to use it, we are having currently animation courses with Andy Schmidt from Pixar, he is a classical animator at also and I would like him and the students to use your script for planning their shots .

would it be possible to use this great script .. ?

thank you much
david

I’m a student at VFS in Digital Character Animation.
As a classically trained animator, your AFR is awesome.

So is Grease Pencil! Does it work on a Mac?

Thanks,
