Hi ya,

Is there any difference between this tutorial series and Data Centric Rigging workshop on Youtube?

[Miquel]

The Gumroad tutorials are an introduction to mGear shifter. The videos are split in shorter takes and in general is more easy to follow. Also have al the scenes step by step
Data centric rigging workshop have same content and much more. But expects you are already familiar with mGear. Also, since was recorded in 1 take and not edited the videos are longer, provably more difficult to follow.
