Norman modding tuts

Was poking at Norman recently, really is a nice rig.

Nair Archawattana has this write up on the Animation Buffet

Joshua Slice apparently did a live tut how to that was inscribed by Vaughan Weigert
on the animation club forum here and here

and Doe Hyoung Kim has a mel for quick skin wrapping


The spline doctors complain about SOOO many demo's looking the same but with these resources it seems foolish not to make the effort to try and give them something fresh to look at.

 *update 2/26 Shiva also has an alternate version you can download that has a more muscled base mesh. Oh, and I just learned a neat trick in Maya 2009, hitting b turns on soft select, holding b and dragging scales it.


*update 9/21 Romain Digonnet's started a library of mod'ed Normans
