      Hiya!

      My DVDs don’t cover any skinning material.. They are focussed on creating animation controls that are intuitive and fun to use. If you are interested in learning about muscle tools definitely check out some of the other rigging tools out there. :)

        Hi Jason, thanks for your answer, I am still interested in your tutorials especially in those fast rigging, I know that the faster option is the TSM but I would like to built my own rig as fast as is possible.

        Cheers!

    Hey Jason,
    in the preview clip I saw a video where you make a walk cycle with the character you rig, but i can’t find it anymore. I was sure it was inside the AFR bunble but there isn’t.
    Can you help me ?

    Thanks

    Hi Jason,

    I read about you in Tina O’Hailey’s book, Hybrid Animation. I also browsed your website and wanted to sincerely congratulate you on all your achievements – I’d like to be as good as you someday. I just wanted to ask you if the twos.mel script is available anywhere for download, as I’m working on a 2D/3D reel and it would help me very much in going through these tutorials found in the book.

    Thanks very much,
    Nat

    Hi Jason,

    I just wanted to know that whether your tutorial includes high end rigging of character? Like

    Thanks

    Hey Jason, would these be beneficial for animating with video game rigs? Our rigs are much more simple and usually have a very simple facial control system,. Eyes and jaw mainly.

    Thanks in advance,
    -John

      Hi John!

      Yes, many of the concepts will work fine. You will have to adapt the rig to suit your particular game system.. but the concepts of what types of controls you use and why you create them are system agnostic. :)
