Allan has been in touch with us - and, what he plans to show is still a work in progress. But, as he mentioned briefly - “ ...show off some effects techniques from some recent films I’ve been working on, primarily focusing on particles, fluids and procedural pipelines.Basically I’ll either show off some krakatoa and fracturing or focus on a few other things...”

Joe will show off a bunch Advanced 3dsmax Rigging Techniques, depending on time - he will cover one or more of the following topics:

* Advanced use of the limit controller
* Advanced use of the scripted controller
* Pushing objects out of the way, without the reaction manager
* Scripted Viewport Display, getting info from your rig and displaying it in the viewport (this could take the whole 2 hours so i’ll just play it by ear)
* Show off a Universal Tire Deforming Rig (tech demo)
