    A great example of how to make your anim life easier, have the character in line with the scene axis and rotate the env. Thanks for sharing @Nagyunagi_ !

    1) "Using video reference (for animation) is cheating" 2) "Using 3d to block in shapes, perspective and light direction is cheating" Everything I was exploring in school was slapped down by purest, only to find that both are 100% viable in a production environment.

    Artists: Did you ever have a bad art-school critique that really set you back, knocked you off your pins?ย  What was it? Keep it short; donโ€™t exaggerate. Often, it can be the least thing.ย  Have you ever made a โ€œrevengeโ€ work of art? What was it?

    Teaming up with Darren Bartley @fightpunch on his Tribal series. Initial rig and sim test, since the poncho plays a big part in the character design, I wanted to test my workflow before starting animation. High res vimeo.com/345640434 #Tribal #Korlyn

    As I work up the next iteration of my face rig, I think to myself, "is that too many joints?" then I look at what MetaHuman is fine with and shrug...

    Has anyone seen a tool/setup like this for Maya? I'm guessing it's a time offset as a base, but not sure. Thanks for any help!

    Some rig tests for Tribal (@fightpunch ) support characters. Not polished work, more to check the setup and wrap my head around the design / motion types. More to come! Model by artstation.com/dratard High Res/Notes: vimeo.com/400174639
