ZIVA VFX Not Available

Well... with the downfall of ZIVA VFX, Puppeteer Lounge will no longer feature and train workshops based on ZIVA VFX! Rigging Workshop 4, ZIVA Quad Setup, etc is not available at the moment, but I am looking at other solutions too like AdonisFX...! As for RIGGING WORKSHOP 3 (Muscle Based Setup), we are including a BONUS Material that goes over FAT SKIN Simulation using nCloth dynamics so you can add simulation in your rig deformation!

An Advice on using Auto Riggers like mGear and Rigify

There is mGear for Maya and Rigify for Blender! Me as a self-taught rigger always prefer to learn how to build a custom rig from scratch and then develop a tool to implement it. However lately I have been trying out these autorigger tools and I would say if you are already familier with the concept of rigging and comfortable with it then feel free to use these tools to assist in production. I don't however recommend these tools to beginners who are getting started with rigging and want to make a career out of it. Take your time to learn the basics, build your own custom rigs and then learn from these tools :)
