I can suggest few tutorials till you find mentor : The Art of Rigging its old but cover everything you need to know about rigging and mel coding + a lot of scripts you can learn from CGcircuit - The Base Skeleton /CGcircuit - Biped Skinning Gnomon Character Rigging Axel/The Gnomon Workshop - Creature Rigging for Production
Deploy the advice you had recieved on your other thread, there's no need opening a duplicate topic unless a particular issue requires further clarification or remains unresolved. So for my money I strongly second the recommendation for Scott Eaton's workshop, not only was he an early pioneer of digital sculpting but also…
Yes it's going to be very difficult. I studied a bit on the side while at uni and I imagine it can be very demanding with uni work and deadlines. I graduated in 2013 and I'm still in the hunt for my first gig. I had to take online workshops after graduation while working a part-time job to really understand animation.
Personally I have kept away from physically printed material on game art, programs, etc. I find it way easier to interact with information like that digitally. That being said, 3dmotive has some pretty nifty stuff on maya, same with the gnomon workshop. This one specifically was really informative:…
1) Trip to SF/CA Workshop 2) See above! 3) Umm. Probably whatever my brother gets me. Don't think I asked for anything silly (though I usually do). Favourite gift I am giving is a custom t-shirt for my brother that says "pwned!!!!1" in silver letters on the front. Heh.

[ QUOTE ] Woah. I would love to have that, but i downloaded the demo thing, and the interface was kind of...what the hell? For me. [/ QUOTE ] the interface confused the hell out of me but I took a leap of faith and picked up Zbrush 2 along with the Introduction to ZBrush DVD from the Gnomon Workshop, it is a great DVD and…
I know a few character artist who make use of the samsung slate with the built in wacom digitizer. They have used it for photoshop and zbrush...while it wont replace a desktop by any means, it allows them to knock out enough work to be usable when on the road or even in workshops. Asus is releasing one as well in 2013 that…
Speaking of too similar, this Sven set is up on the workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=250118155&searchtext= Which in a very likely case is stolen from this piece of artwork: http://artcobain.deviantart.com/art/knight-concept-215330843 I've reported it for art theft, and even tried contacting…
:) I thought about that during the creation process. But Thomas who did the workshop had already shown us a character, who was missing a finger. And I just didn't want my class-mates pointing at me and telling me that I am stealing ideas. But in my future designs I won't think that way anymore, so what ...
