In this first course of the “Zombie Moose on the Loose” series, you will learn how to prep heavy character geometry for a USD pipeline, build and skin a KineFX skeleton, create a modular APEX rig with FK and IK controls, and finish with an industry standard fur groom from masks and guides to a detailed high resolution result. You will also review full production setups to understand how each step scales in a real studio workflow.

      Ah, thank you for this comment. I forgot to include that file. It got lost somewhere along the line. I'll include it when the next parts are released. For now, here's a link to download it from. You can just drop it in with the rest of the hip files, and it should reference the correct models: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RmPHM_seChG1vx1NVu0-Pdf67bkdhLS_/view?usp=sharing

    What a shame.....all that moose meat wasted falling off the cliff; when it could have been marinated and turned into a tasty bbq.
