On to week 3 and MOTION: KineFX - today's prompt is RUN.
You can get some info on KineFX from this Learning Path [www.sidefx.com]. While diving into the APEX rigging tools would be a good learning experience, you can also simply explore rigging and then pose with joint rotations. If you want to use an existing rig then check out the How to Pose and Animate Electra tutorial and grab a rig from the Content Library [www.sidefx.com]. Good Luck and have fun. We look forward to seeing what you cook up!

Demon Cat is back!!! He's chasing down Fin and BMO for stealing his Emeralds!
A deep dive for today's one - rejigging the rigging of the Demon Cat from Day 6 - wiggling it through an APEX setup and then hand animating the run cycle. Additionally learning how to use TOPS to render from Solaris just to plop a sweet cherry on top.
