Some reviews on "The Art of Moving Points"
"Best book ever on character facial modeling and rigging." Brazil
"I want to say a big thank you to Brian Tindall for this book - even though it kept me up far too late reading it. Brian Tindall is an acknowledged master of his craft in the industry, and it is a rare gift for someone with his experience and talent to share this level of information. Even better, he is not only a talented artist - but also a talented teacher. I'm still in the process of absorbing the wealth of information this book contains. Because this isn't a book filled with fluff and industry anecdotes, but rather is constructed with the same attention to detail that he applies to his craft - each point made is there for a reason, and important. The book is packed with information, and each aspect is further elucidated with excellent diagrams and videos. So I feel this isn't just a book you skim through, but rather one you really need to dig into and immerse yourself. I feel this iBook is a must have for anyone interested in taking their character facial modeling and articulation to the next level. And to my mind, this book goes beyond facial applications - because once you start to understand the core principles I can see applying them to other aspects of the character as well. In summary, I guess the highest praise I can give is that if I didn't already own an iPad I'd gladly purchase one just to be able to read this book." Canada
"I love that book, the integration of the multi medial content is great and a super resource for Character design." Germany
"Takes some time to download this amount of infromation. I am going to try the method. I am convinced it will work and save me time." Netherlands
"I think that this book should be considered a "must own" for anyone serious about learning how to articulate a 3D character's face. This book goes into extreme details not so much on the tools but on the concepts, or theory, around how to move points in a CG face properly. I can't stress enough how eye opening this resource will be for students of this craft. If you want to create a 3D character and animate it, you NEED this book.Starting to get some reviews in about my iBook." USA
