Publications
My upcoming publication is the second edition of An Essential Introduction to Maya Character Rigging, February, 2021.
“While some rigging books focus too much on the theory of rigging and provide little instruction; others do the exact opposite and offer no reasoning behind the button-pushing. The Essential Introduction to Maya Character Rigging, 2nd Edition, however, offers a perfect balance. Cheryl Briggs’ text is built for the classroom, with step-by-step tutorials that guide the reader through the rigging process. With vibrant screenshots and a plethora of helpful tips, this book provides a strong foundation in character rigging for anyone who wants to pursue 3D animation or more advanced rigging topics., CRC Press.
