    Great stuff guys, have to say I'm half way through the training and I've learned a ton so far. Have a feeling I'll have to go through it a couple times to really soak it all up. Great stuff, keep up the good work and thanks for uploading this here.

    Thanks for all of your tutorials on cgcookie guys , amazing site and this is an amazing ball rig , in my first month in blender i felt that its so difficult to be an advanced user with online tutorials and i was going to search for an another program , but when i found your site and began watching the tutorials i've felt that blender is the most powerfull online animation and modeling program and i began to understand it. Thanks for all your work :)
