Rigging Dojo

At this stage, the ratio of hours spent vs notable change gets up there. Hands are doing better, still need to do a pass on the head/face/tail. All Wip, but gettin' there. Kaiju by @henningsanden

Yes, come see @OzoneStoryTech Subdivs, Studio 2.0 sneak peeks and these two old riggery dudes :)

@Halo_VFX @OzoneStoryTech @Official_GDC @EpicGames @UnrealEngine @xencelab @rhurrey @henningsanden @KielFiggins Yes! @KielFiggins work on the rig and animation is always awesome. Fun collaboration with him and @FlippedNormals

@OzoneStoryTech @Official_GDC @EpicGames @UnrealEngine @xencelab @rhurrey @riggingdojo @henningsanden i recognise that animation @KielFiggins

Check us out at @Official_GDC as we show off our real-time Subdiv tech for @EpicGames @UnrealEngine and how much we love using our @xencelab 16” tablet display as a second monitor here on the show floor :)

Last day at #GDC #animtip #rigtip Stop by west hall and find out how having realtime Ozone Subdivision surfaces in Unreal can improve your entire character pipeline. Modeling, Rigging, and more.

Attending GDC? You can find SideFX at the Summit Connect Lounge all week, plus don't miss our sponsored talk: Freedom Through Structure: Character Pipelines at Embark Join Erik Östsjö and Björn Arvidsson from Embark Studios as they share their character pipeline development journey, leveraging Houdini and USD as the core of their workflows. Discover how they balance automation with artistic freedom using a procedural mentality—from manual to fully automated workflows. Learn how USD combined with Houdini's PDG and Solaris contexts maximizes creative flexibility while minimizing repetitive work, supporting both Arc Raiders and The Finals with their varying production needs. Perfect for artists and technical professionals curious about modernizing their workflows with USD and Houdini.

#GDC with the @OzoneStoryTech team. Come say hi to Brad and @rhurrey and learn more about rigging and working with realtime subdiv surfaces in Unreal.

Cooking @OzoneStoryTech Subdivs are incredibly fast... check it out! Design your assets for Subdivs properly, target the proper render resolution, and you will wait mere seconds smooth awesome results :)

@rhurrey @OzoneStoryTech @UnrealEngine @RafAnzovin @AgoraCommunity_ @henningsanden and more characters tested as we prepare this for full production release.

Let's see if we get a copyright issue, but streching my super lame animation legs to show off @OzoneStoryTech Subdivs here. 10 Characters, millions of polygins, all running in realtime in @UnrealEngine 5.7 and barely showing up in the profilier.

Bifrostでリグを組んでみる連載、第9回公開されました🚀 “リギング モジュール フレームワーク”とやらの入門的な内容です🔰 第1回のベルトリグを引っ張り出してきて、モジュールに変身させてみます！！ #BifrostRigging #bifrost #rigging #maya3d

@nodespaghett @autodesk Yeah it’s the least fun you can have in Maya rigging.

Here's a quick tip for moving joints in @autodesk™ Maya™ ! Be sure to follow me for more helpful tips and tricks for @autodesk™ Maya™

@rhurrey @Lenovo @UnrealEngine I spy with my little eye… the “Art of Moving Points” up on our new training Portal?!? Yes. Yes it is :) #Hippydrome #RiggingBible #AppleFree

@henningsanden Check out your Kaiju! Path Traced, Ray Traced and @OzoneStoryTech SubDivs set to level 3 (5.6 million polygons) in @UnrealEngine renderer. (We hit texture resolution limits now before geometric ones ;)

Our speech articulators are a system of moving parts. When one part is displaced, others must compensate. This system can seem frustrating in its variability, but there’s beauty in understanding when & how to apply rules while still respecting the chaos. melindaozel.com

A reminder as we start the new year of classes. If you are not ready to earn what you learn, don’t apply. “This is a 101 level class but that doesn't mean easy, you will struggle, in that struggle is where you learn” Use our free resources, we will be here when you are ready.

Eye vs. “Cheek” Squeezes: And references to help you to tell them apart cheek raiser: marked by the orbital region contracting & lid tightener: marked by the palpebral region contracting, or, even more specifically by the preseptal area. More on that at melindaozel.com/facs-cheat-she…

2026 is off and running. Just emailed out updates for applicants and looking forward to a great year ahead of training and learning with you all.
