We recently published an extensive complete character rigging tutorial series for Maya, and today we're happy to announce we're kicking off a new one focused on creating a complete character rig inside 3D Studio Max. So if your a Max user who's been looking to learn how to construct a fully realized character rig using Max's proprietary toolset, you're in luck!
Author Soni Kumari will walk you through the entire process from start to finish and give you a series of in-depth lessons, working towards building a intuitive, animation friendly character rig from the ground up.
