Each of the joint creation tool is disscused, with an emphasis on how joint placement and orientation will affect rig behavior later on. Once Inverse Kinematic controls have been and the geomentry have been skinned, these things are hard to change. Therefore, it is critical that the skeleton creation process is methodical.

This DVD is put out by Kraken edition. This DVD will tell you more than you will likely ever use on miniatures unless you are shooting for Slayer Sword painting. This is a VERY in depth DVD @ 7 HOURS it will give you the knowledge and a damn good start at painting award winning figures (with practice). The DVD itself comes in french and english there werent subtitles on the english version though it was shot in french. The DVD itself doesnt look as..... Corporate as the P3 dvd, this was shot in Jeremie's home and he sometimes has a sheet hung behind him while doing discussion. This really doesnt detract from the DVD as most of the DVD is on the figures where it should be. This DVD seems to be aimed at display case and painting competion level figures, this aint your Mama's army painter here.
