Hey there friends, the Annecy talk I did with Magnus about the film we are making with the rest of the incredible Tumblehead team for SideFX is online now! I go pretty deep into how I built the sweat generator including some tricks using a point deform inside a solver. We also talk about the film and share a sneak peek WIP clip!

The other annecy talks are also worth checking out. Cristin gives really good insight into SideFX's plans with character and animation/rigging. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-D31I8RhTw

Sasa does an absolutely legendary inspiring talk. If you aren't already familiar with his work and are a fan of mine, you must watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKXtyeU38bY
