I run across cool rigging demos from time to time, figured I should start saving some links to them:
- Jeremy Ernst -- Gears of War 3 Rigging Reel - video
- Fast and Efficient Facial Rigging(in Gears of War 3) - pdf for 2011 GDC
- Corresponding movie for the pdf can be found here, showcasing the facial system in action.
