    Animated Parenting-1min
    Hand Skeleton-9min 45sec
    Facial Animation-12min 37sec
    Skeleton Control-13min 41sec
   These character rigging tutorials are all about making the animation process faster and easier. I focus on using wire parameters, list and reaction controllers to control large amounts of objects from one central morph slider set. Also we learn how to make a morph target face kit and how to morph one small part a larger single skin mesh object. We also learn how to control a complex hand skeleton and set IK targeting of each finger quickly. I include some great 3dsmax scene files including the robot hand from "LOR", all set up and ready for you to hack into your own scenes.

Afterburn and a little Particle Flow
    Afterburn Overview -9min 49sec
    Smoke Trails - 12min 32sec
    Mushroom Cloud - 8min 30sec
    Galaxy - 15min 32sec
    Assorted Abstract Art - 1min 32sec
Afterburn and Particle Flow scenes will need for you to download a demo version of Afterburn from Turbosquid.com. Afterburn is the most awesome plugin for 3dsmax. I'm not trying to be a salesmen here, but this single plugin accounted for about 50% of my income last year, and it's in almost every scene of "LOR".
