Testimonials:

“I am amazed how comprehensive this course was for time frame. It was totally engaging. There were little gems of insight all throughout, especially regarding production techniques that I was not aware of. What stood out for me were the initial simple examples used’s to teach the fundamentals of Alex’s rigging technique. He explained it so well with his simple rigs that you feel prepared for when he moves on to the complex bipedal model. It’s easier to follow, understand and replicate.”
