Advanced Rigging?

achillesian

Sooo, rigging beyond the standard bone by bone/ weight painting is really baffling me. And i am having trouble finding a tutorial that shows how to add all those nifty nurbs curve modifiers, and how to setup IKs and FKs well. Any suggestions? Everything i search for through google video seems to just be reels of peoples animations, or people showing off how awesome their rig is, or a super basic tutorial that just features bones.

I use Maya, and i would like videos.

I have no videos, but I do have a book

Maybe some peeps here can make some video tutorials for this

Google 'Jason Schleifer' -Worked on Lord Of The Rings. He has tutorials & forums to answer question on Maya Rigging.

Those from gnomon are pretty good from what i´ve seen over the years.
Jason Schleifer´s "fast animation rigs" are ok when you already know rigging in maya a bit better.

Fahrenheit digital published also very advanced rigging dvds, more td-ish, but good stuff.
