Critics Review

“Of all the rigging advice I’ve seen over the years, the detailed rigging chapters in this book are so solid and it gives me joy to see a good resource in print.”

Brad Clark, co-founder of Rigging Dojo.

“This book is not only valuable for someone more junior, looking to start a career in technical animation, but anyone that works alongside or relies upon technical animation. It does a great job of breaking down, from start to finish, what is needed to establish a technical animation foundation for a game.”

Mike Jungbluth is an animation director and game developer who has been working in games since 2006.
