Updated Quadruped Workshop with Bobby

Puppeteer Lounge have an updated quadruped setup workshop where we go over rigging a lovely cartoon dog model. The workshop consists of 8 classes or approximately 8 hours of lecture time (Body and facial included)!

The character modeling is done by our very talented student Edgar Jardim who is currently busy with Rigging Workshop 2. Special thanks to Edgar for the model and request for the new workshop.

BTW the models name is Bobby and can be used by our animation students in their assignments too :)
