Anatomy for Rigging and Modeling Webcast

VitruviousAnatomy for rigging and modeling with Jeff Hesser was an event hosted online by Rigging Dojo just the other night. Improve your work and understanding of joint movement in the Human Body. A must see if you’re a TD, Animator, or Modeler.  Follow Rigging Dojo to find out about more events like this in the near future.

Vokle is a place for live webcasts and is very integrated with social media websites so it’s easy to share with your friends interesting events.  During this event Jeff had his rig that he created while at Rigging Dojo on the webcast showing people human motion and anatomy.  He has unbelievable depth of knowledge on what drives our bodies underneath the surface.  Seeing and learning anatomy like this is absolutely essential to creating believable animation and rigs that make creatures/characters move in a natural way.

Here are some links to what I think are major resources in learning anatomy traditionally and in a 3d atmosphere.

Thought I would post this marking a new beginning in my blog. I have been working on using this template for my old blog, but for now, it’s just too much hassle to get it to working properly. So I decided to start fresh. I will get my recent work back up probably but for now I’ll just call it a new blog for a new year. It wasn’t like I had a million posts before.

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog that encompasses artistic interests in the Computer Graphics, Music, Film industries, and a few of my personal interests as well. I'm pretty new on the scene, but I hope to contribute a lot more as I have time and color my little dark corner of the interwebs with all kinds of things that make me, and maybe you, excited and inspired. Sometimes bombastic and at times dark and moody but always mischievous, I give you CG Hijinks, please, enjoy your stay!
