I’m a Human-Computer Interaction Master’s student, and academically-paused professional TD, looking for ways to recruit character animator participants of any experience level for my thesis usability study of the Multiple Dynamic Pivots (MDP) rig I designed. I’m currently getting research ethics clearance to advertise the study on forums and social media and am looking for the best places to do so. The test will be in Maya 2019, entirely online and anonymous.
The is the trailer for the MDP rig:

These are the 11 keyframes participants will be asked to animate the provided MDP-rigged character into:
There will also be a mostly multiple-choice questionnaire regarding their satisfaction level with each part of the rig.
Any advice regarding places to advertise – forums, Facebook groups, Linked groups, etc. – would be appreciated. Thank you!
