New Human Rig DVD.

[AVTPro]

Here's the last video of the New SkinMan Rig. This shows how Weight Maps in EIAS Animator v8 works perfectly as expected and how to specifically paint vertexes with precision into the desired shape. This allows you to design the creasing, elasticity and bending even with geometry that is less than perfect for animation. Also the price for the BACK to School Sale is not $150 (not 125) for both the SkinRig and Deformer Rig.

Since we are also talking about spybots here. Anybody removing tracking markers? What's your quickest app to do this? i have used Shake and AE to do either QuickPaint or Slip Mask but I would like a faster combo of the two. Maybe something like a track paint.

Mocha Pro, perfect for tracker removal.

[AVTPro]

Thanks Kbitz...definitely going with Mocha.

Last call for "Back2School" Sale with the ReadyRigs "SkinMan" Rig and "DeformerRig" DVD for $120. It will be going back up to $85 each soon as October Hits. Get it while the getting is GOOD!!! ;-)

You guys know I love EIAS, Zbrush and Maya.

Here's a tutorial I did about face sculpting with Zbrush.

here's a Mech character I'm working on that's all Zbrush. I hope to do a robot rig in EIAS...maybe after the new release.

Scaaaaaary...

Beautiful model, would love to see it move... Some textures in the mean time?

[FelixCat]

Very nice model, Alonzo. Could be hard to animate it with all that pieces moving over others.

Cheers

I did a more complex robot in EIAS for PUMA a few years ago. So many parts, over 200. Double IK, Tubes. EIAS is better if you want to get things done quickly.

Eventhough I have a high interest in RED Camera and Animation, I'm just going to focus on modeling for a couple of months now that I spent so much time rigging and client works to make a living.

Hi Alonzo, enjoyed the zbrush tutorial. Yes it was helpful !

Thanks Mark

[AVTPro]

I'm glad the free tutorial on Zbrush was helpful. I have been doing a bit of hard body surface modeling in Zbrush and I make the high resolution models low res so it can be animated. 

Here's some sample WIPs. 

 

 

 

The low resolution with the normal maps and/or displacement maps means it's very animation ready geometry.

A bit off topic, well a lot actually, but hey Alonzo- have you seen the trailer for "Eyeborgs" ?

There are some interesting, 2 legged and 6 legged robots that must have been fun to rig. They reminded me of your spider bot which I spotted on your youtube channels.

Here it is on GumRoad.

Here's the first DVD I did.

This sold well at the time. One of the goals for this was to make sure all the tricks and tips never got lost or stayed in one persons head.

Anything else I find I'll post.
