Animator Friendly Rigging is one of the top training tools available to learn the ins and outs of creating character rigs that your animators will enjoy working with.
Based on the same principles that animators use when animating, these tools will teach you not just how to create one particular type of rig, but they will help you develop a systematic and creative approach to solve almost any rigging problem.

This 8 chapter series (broken into 4 parts) helps teach the rigger to look at a problem, get reference, analyze it, try some ideas, generate a toolkit of techniques, and apply them in a way that will make their animators more productive and creative.

Hi Jason I am an animator and always I have to built my own rigs,for commercial I use the TSM but now I am interested in built one with your rigging products, for hipper realistic rig with muscle system winch one do you recommend to me? the Animator friendly rigging ones or the creature and fast rigging?
Cheers
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,

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
Hiya natalie!
Thanks very much!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the book.. Tina wrote a really great one!
I don’t have twos.mel on me, but I did find it here:

cheers!

Hi Jason,
I just wanted to know that whether your tutorial includes high end rigging of character? Like
FK IK automated switching. I have brought many tutorials in the past but none inlude that. Can you guide me with the same.
Thanks
Ashley
It does include fk/ik switching where you learn how to match the fk and the ik joints.
enjoy!

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,

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.
