Facial Rigging Breakdown - Core Techniques For Artists

Overview:
In this webinar hosted by Image Metrics, the folks at Rigging Dojo will provide an overview of core facial rigging concepts and discuss how understanding anatomy is used to inform deformation and rigging. The seminar will present common practices of rigging faces and will go beyond the philosophies of facial rigging to introduce practical technical knowledge.

This forum is like Christmas! Two of my favorite things in one.

Wait?! This forum has chocolate and pretty girls??

:D:

Would it be possible to just make this into a youtube video?
Its much appreciated you are doing this for free, so no complaints, but its hard to reserve a specific time sometimes.

Quite interested in this! Is this free and sorry for the noob question but how does a webinar work?

I’ve gone ahead and registered, but just realised that the timezone difference means it falls at about 5 in the morning for me. As I very much doubt I’ll be able to watch it live, will there be an archived video made available after the fact?

@Scott It’s like a web chat room you log into but it has video. You can only type and it’s only really when you have questions but you watch and listen to the host while you can see others type comments as well.

IM usually uploads videos after the fact. Just look on Vimeo for Image Metrics Webinar and you’ll see previous ones. :wink:

Ah cheers, thanks for the clarification :slight_smile:

I’m wondering, though, if I should give up my seat, unless that seat means early access to the archived video?

Typically this is not true. It isn’t like Rigging Dojo where they don’t release the educational material to the public before the students. Everyone has access to the saved vids at the same time up until now.

Cheers, Jonas. I’ve sent Jay an email letting him know I’m giving my seat up.

My pleasure!

This is awesome! Thanks for the initiative. I’ll be there 7am in my time zone. :slight_smile:

Still time to register and lots of space open. :slight_smile:

I’m putting my feet up on LoTekK’s free seat! :wink:

Looking forward to it.

Thanks, I had fun, hope some people learned a few things… like don’t try a soft mod on a head that is supppppper tiny:) while in a hurry:)

Thanks to Jay for setting it up and to those who attended.

i had fun too watching you “soft moding” all over the place! :slight_smile:
however, staying up late was worth it… i´ll never use multiplyDivide for inverting again, i guess…
always nice to see different approaches for the same issues.
thanks.

yeah was great watching some different methods fly about, cant wait for the next one.

plus the resources were top notch!

It was a very informative session for sure, Thanks Jay and Brad.

I had to drop out early because they started tearing down a wall in our studio.

What is the alternative to multiplyDivide!? :smiley:
