I have finally finished the rigging tutorial on Digital Tutor a few days ago. It is a real good beginner video like I said in earlier post. But I feel the rig that I have used in the professional world can do more than that.
So I did some research on what I should look into next. I found this book being recommended by a lot of artists out there, "
Body Language : Advanced 3D Character Rigging" , also the series of video
AFR(Animator Friendly Rigging ) by Jason Schleifer.

| AFR by Jason Schleifer |
After reading about Jason Schleifer's About section on his website. I decided to go for AFR first. He started out in Alias talking and promoting MAYA, and moved on to Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and by the end , he's already a lead animator. Then he moved back to US and works in PDI Dreamwork (still my dream studio, I would read AFR for this), and he will be the head of character animation in the new film coming out in 2014. I can only say, Damn that's cool.
AFR next!
