In this Maya tutorial we will learn about joint-based facial rigging in Maya. Throughout these lessons we will go over using joints instead of the traditional approach of using blend shapes.
We will be using locators and offset joints to attach to NURBs curves. These curves will be the foundation of how the rig works. It's very simple, and very effective. Once the rig is created the rig is re-usable on many different types of meshes.

Throughout these lessons we will extensively cover the tools and techniques we can use on our raw images to process them into a final product. Along the way we will look at how these tools are utilized to drive more fundamental concepts such as composition and color theory.

In this tutorial we will go through the character design process as well as go over various painting techniques.

I am so excited to be able to write this book and share with you what I have learned about digital IR photography. Infrared photography is easily attainable by the novice and professional alike.
Why?
Because it’s digital! We have transcended film photography and now have the wonderful opportunity
to be able to photograph digitally. No darkrooms, no chemicals, no worries about light leaking in and
ruining precious film. We are free to experiment over and over; the learning curve is much less steep.
We can truly be artists and are limited only by our imaginations.

Does digital mean you have to have fancy or expensive equipment? Not at all; some of my very favorite
images have been captured using an IR-converted compact camera. I always have it with me.
