CGCircuit (www.cgcircuit.com), a tutorial marketplace for traditional and technical artists, announces Andy Van Straten’s release of his advanced rigging tutorial, “Skinning with nCloth.” Created by a former Weta Digital TD, this tutorial contains the sought after rigging technique of multi layered cloth simulation for achieving advanced skin deformation. Also included is detail on modeling the bones and muscles of the arm. Graduating from Otago University and Media Design School, Andy Van Straten has worked on major films such as, “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” and “The Hobbit II: The Desolation of Smaug.”
In “Skinning with nCloth” Andy explains how to achieve results similar to his Weta work with Maya builtin Rigging Tools and nCloth. Andy provides useful scripts along with guidelines to implementing his rigging techniques into a production pipeline. Designed for riggers who want to gain traction in their field, this unique advanced tutorial provides a rare glimpse into techniques used on some of Weta’s finest work. Today the level of quality in rigs is becoming higher and higher and “Skinning with nCloth” can help a rigger raise the bar.
Carlo Sansonetti, Founder of CGCircuit, believes “Skinning with nCloth” holds a great value because, “This tutorial is one of the best tutorials on CGCircuit. Andrew explains a difficult and complex topic beautifully. I have been a rigger for almost 15 years, and I love to see a new approach to skinning. This tutorial is for riggers who want to stand out and take their reel to another level.” Check out Andy’s, “Skinning with nCloth” at cgcircuit.com/course/skinningwithncloth.
