If you don’t know who Bernhard Haux is, read this interview.  I know of him but recently I got re-acquainted with his work via this interview.  If there is anyone I look up to as far as being a role-model for rigging, technical directing, and so forth, this person is on the top of the list.  Many, many others you’ll find will agree.  I really know the upper limits of what the software can do when I take a look at some of his rigging techniques.  It’s a little intimidating actually!

Oh, and Haux’s work is online I should add.  Just take a look at his “deformation grid” TD demo.  Sharing knowledge and information online helps with artist comradery and helps young artist like me find a way to become better on our own, or at least in this case what the possibilities are.  I’ve learned way more stuff being out of school than ever before because of the internet but it’s a shame more talented people don’t share their stuff online.
