CGProShop - Character Rigging with 3d Studio Max and Biped

This DVD will provide you with tools and knowledge to rig a character faster and better than ever before.

Rigging which would have taken days and weeks can now be done in hours thanks to a combination of tools and techniques developed in demanding studio production environments.

For more control over character deformation the DVD includes a toolset designed specifically for use with the Absolute Character Tools plugin.

Available for the first time on this DVD these tools also provide the ability to create muscles beneath the model surface and the ability to mirror the muscles in real-time from one side of the character to the other as they are being created.
