In answer to Altadena: Yes I did, I got a couple actually on advanced character rigging. One from CG Toolkit and another from DT. Both are very good in their own ways. DT is aimed at more cartoon character rigs and the CG is more creature. Also included was a traditional Sculpting DVD which is over 2hrs long.

The CGtoolkit came with MuscleTK and a host of other stuff (mel scripts etc for easier blendshape creation, plus facial setup using a combo of GUI and blendshapes, which looks heaven to use.

There have been a few things Ive been itching to learn regarding character setup over the months and despite picking brains at work (to no avail) Ive finally got my answers. Once Ive tried and tested the certain techniques I will share them.

Steve: Motion Builder should be a doddle for a man of your calibre mate, Ive seen it in use at work, even I could do it.

Happy hols
Cheers
