New!!

Kitestring online, a new project from Rich Hurrey  (Character TD by way of Pixar ) has launched and while his main content is his Rigging Master Course he is working with Brian to bring the “Art of Moving Points” to a larger audience and make it fully searchable on the Kitestring platform. (coming soon).

Kite String Art of Moving Points

The “Art of Moving Points” is designed for the intermediate to advanced Character Rigger or Character Modeler that wants to learn a different approach to character facial articulation using point weight containers, and assigning them to deformers to move points in space.

Be sure to check out HippyDromes Art of Moving Points on iTunes for an in depth look at deformation layers and topology for rigging the face and our New Face Rigging 101 course to understand how to make these ideas work in Maya.

thank you so much on all your videos. As a college Graduate still trying to learn the methods of rigging solo, i very much appreciate your generosity with this information. just wish i had a mac to read your book on.

Wow! This is a fabulous thing for you to do. Thank you. I’m excited to look over it and study it. I hope to get the book soon. Jonathan Paine recommended you highly and sends his regards.
