Work in Progress August 2009
TPD WIP August 2009 from Paul Caggegi on Vimeo.Welcome to this month's work in progress video. I offer a couple of tips this month, to enhance your rig, using action constraints, and set-driven shape-keys.I like to use these techniques to enhance an already functional rig. They can add some extra deformation specific to the area you wish to control.Action constraints can be assigned to multiple bones/objects, all driven by the property of a control bone. The example I show here is a simple hand ...

Discussion Point - 07-09 The Miracle Element
Welcome to this month's discussion point post and podcast. As I have been writing, I've decided to relax on verifying all facts in order to concentrate on imbuing the script with more fun. I am apprehensive of relying too much on any miracle exceptions which may arise in my writing. In this week's podcast, I speak about miracle exceptions - when they go bad, and when they are acceptable.

Bonus brainstorm 06-09
What a month for updates. I'll begin with my quick foray into the wonderful world of rigging. This past month, I have been deeply entrenched in blender rigging tutorials, trying to find that magical, elusive process which will render the most efficient rig. And efficiency is what it is all about. I've now fully-rigged Marcus Blair, and I have to say, putting him through some motions is making me SQUEEEEEE with joy. Can't wait to show you.As this month's work in progress video is all about that p...
