AVTPro’s ReadyRigs: FK Spine DVD
The new FK Spine DVD is compressing now. So it’s done. It was a good decision to do the FK spine before a full rig.

Though it’s still compiling I don’t think the whole DVD is more than 3 hours. Again, this training helps extend your rigging to professional technics and principles. Many user shy a from professional rigging paradigms because of some of the confusing behaviors inherently built in EI bones and algorithms. This DVD rigging best practices for getting a professional job done use for my clients such as PUMA, BMW, Pepsi, Disney, Frank Gehry, IDeaDesign, DWU Studios and so forth and etc.
I’m very proud of the final product. I am so tempted to animate it.
I will post another sample but it’s the same as the FK spine Jumping animation I posted.
SPINE ONLY NOT A HUMAN RIG!!
Tails, Spines and Wires.
Good points about the DVD are:
1. Building an Natural “S” Spine.
2. Controlling Smooth Spine deformations (8 bones) with a control skeleton (3 bones)
3. Mastering Icon controls orientations.
4. Clean numerics vs garbage values.
5. Weighting spines.
6. Ubershapes.
7. Color Coding and professional rigging for animators.
8. Iconic GUI vs nondescript bones.
Bonus.
IK Spine.
