Hi Sandy!
We are about to start our Advanced Rigging course (facial rigging),
taught by Chris Pagoria from Blue Sky Studios. He does many of the lead
character facial rigs on Blue Sky's movies. Chris is VERY good. If you
want to learn facial aesthetics, I highly recommend his class.
An old reel: http://chrispagoria.wordpress.com/demo-reel/
Even though Chris is Maya-based, our example rigs are XSI. I use XSI for
all our AnimSchool rigs. I was the Character Development Supervisor at
Blue Sky and I meet with the Character students in open review sessions
each week. So there is some Softimage support here.
We like to think of ourselves as facial experts :)

Hi Guys,
Quick question - what do you guys think would be the best Rigging or
Character TD type course to have someone take - would be ideally an
online type course.
Currently the idea is to start with the 8 week Facial Rigging by Judd
Simantov off cgsociety -
http://workshops.cgsociety.org/courseinfo.php?id=275 - anyone done
this course, it looks quite good but I am concerned it is Maya-centric?
This is for one of our Riggers who is going for the lead role.
Thanks for any input.
S.
