Animation tuts (not necessarily archviz only)

[RyanSpaulding]

Hey guys,

 

In my free time I'm trying to shore up some of my character modeling skills and I usually throw $50 or so every 2 months into an envelope for training. I've noticed that there is a TON of material on rigging, animating, and modeling for animation for Maya....but very little for 3dsMax. Has anyone run across any for 3dsmax? It'd be nice to learn how to rig an animate like a pro...

 

Looking for something a bit more in-depth than the general Lynda.Com fare...and a little more updated than their animation DVD for Max 6.

They have 3dsmax modeling, texturing, rigging, etc. training DVD's. I bought their maxscript dvd and it's very well organized, in-depth and all-in-all excellent value for money.

Agreed about their rigging DVDs. 4 volumes, and you get everything you'll need to know about building a production-ready rig from scratch explained very clearly and throroughly.
