Katmandu: Before the Quake

Katmandu: Before the QuakeKatmandu’s ancient sites were woven into the vibrant social and religious fabric of the city. Made of brick and timber, many of these iconic buildings were lost in the earthquake that rocked Nepal.See more of our Nepal video coverage: http://nyti.ms/1GEfLUR

As you know, Nepal has been hit by a terrible earthquake magnitude 7.8 in the rector scale. There has been countless aftershocks following the major quake! Today is the 6th day since the quake hit us and reports suggest that it is slowly settling down.

We at Puppeteer Lounge, our team and family are safe and will be resuming our operation from 1st May, 2015.

We would like to share with you all this beautiful heart touching video "Katmandu: Before the Quake".

Dorito Effect for facial Rig in Maya by my student Veronica


Check out this wonderful tutorial by Puppeteer Lounge student Veronica on creating a Dorito effect for facial rig.

The Dorito technique allows for the rig’s controls to move with the deformations, making the rig much for intuitive for the animators.
