Digital Creature Rigging Reviews

As a Character TD, this is a must read. The book goes in-depth into the fascinating world of creature rigging in a very compelling and clear way. In this one of a kind book, Stewart Jones explains exactly how to setup an amazing creature and bring it to life by blending the artistic and technical aspects of digital creature rigging.--Suchan Raj Bajracharya, character TD and CEO at Puppeteer Lounge

Do you want to learn character setup techniques by pouring over difficult technical jargon and combing through un-illustrated dense text? Oh, then please, put this book down. You won't find that here. Stu delivers all you need to know about rigging in Max in an easy to read-light hearted way, all punctuated with oodles of images. The methods he presents are production methods that will serve as a great reference tool for anyone working in rigging for themselves, in a group project or preparing for a production career. Enjoy!--Tina O'Hailey author of Hybrid Animation and Rig it Right!

Right to the point and a one-of-its-kind; clear, simple and filled in with fabulous 'practical theory', Stewart's book puts together everything you will need to master the beautiful art of rigging. Whether you are a beginner or a pro, an animator, a rigger or a modeller, Digital Creature Rigging will take you the next level--Nacho Barahona - Character Animator, Harry Potter 7, Happy Feet 2, Guardians of Ga'Hoole
