In this course we will take the crab robot Justin has built and rig it to performance based off of the certain specifications.

In this tutorial, we will learn the rigging and animation process for our Unity game. We'll start by taking a look into our rigging process.

In this 3ds Max tutorial, we will learn several methods and tools for creating complex rigs that are capable of producing very stylized deformations! We'll start by creating a modular rig we can insert into our control rigs for flexibility and speed. We'll learn how to create IK FK systems, and learn how to enhance those systems to produce more exaggerated results. We'll also create robust counter-twist systems that do a great job at holding volume.

Creature Rigging with Softimage | XSI, part of the Noesis Interactive ™ MOD Your World ™ training series, teaches you how to "Structure Your Character" by demonstrating techniques used by professional rigging artists.

Learn the tools that make your life as a Houdini animator easier! Although Houdini is known more as a dynamics simulation and particle system, with a reputation that is very well deserved, the non-destructive workflow and flexibility makes it a great solution for animators as well. Technical directors have enjoyed the power of Houdini for making their rigs. Now animators can leverage that same power using the built-in auto rigging system. This video will take you through the process of rigging your own custom characters. We will go through each step, explaining the logic behind the node ystem, allowing you to understand and troubleshoot your own rig. Finally, we will show you how to use the animation tools to create a basic walk cycle with your new rig.

In this DVD, character rigger Carlo Sansonetti demonstrates the rigging process from research to completion. Carlo covers creating the skeleton and rigging the spine, arms, hands, legs, head and neck. He discusses the core concepts of rigging, including joint orientation and understanding rotation order, as well as some more advanced techniques like stretchy limbs, forearm twist without volume loss, and connecting attributes with Hypershade. This DVD is for students who are new to rigging as well as for professional riggers who are looking for different approaches to rigging their characters 400 Minutes of Lecture.

Recent years have seen an abundance of changes in the rigging industry. This popular, hands-on reference brings you completely up to date on equipment, materials, systems, and regulations that affect your profession. Whether you are a maintenance technician, hoist operator, worksite foreman, or any other specialist requiring the use of rigging equipment, this comprehensive guide will help ensure that your projects are completed in a cost-effective manner, without sacrificing safety and efficiency.

In this series of tutorials we will take an introductory look into rigging tools and techniques in 3ds Max. We'll start by understanding the basics, which include everything from how to establish solid naming conventions to how to utilize 3ds Max's bone and IK handle tools. We'll then cover more complicated topics like setting up a enhanced IK rig, using expressions to create a counter twist rig that preserves volume, as well as skinning techniques. We'll also learn how 3ds Max's interface can be customized to work faster.

In this series of Maya tutorials we will learn advanced character rigging techniques in Maya. We'll start by creating a modular rig we can insert into our skeletons for flexibility and speed. We'll learn how to create and utilize custom tools to work smarter. We'll learn how to create IK FK systems, and learn how to enhance these systems to produce more exaggerated results. We'll even explore ways we can create non-flipping twist rigs that do a great job at holding volume.
By the end of this tutorial, you'll have a solid grasp of rigging characters and be able to use the techniques on your own characters.

Learn a production workflow to creating vehicle rigs with emphasis on cartoon performance, squash and stretch rigging techniques, and the principles of building solution-based rigs for easy animation. Contains over 8 hours of project-based training for setup artists and animators learning the processes of creating intuitive cartoon rigs with animator friendly controls. Perfect for experienced artists.

In this CINEMA 4D tutorial we will learn techniques for rigging quadrupeds in CINEMA 4D. We'll work our way from the ground up, learning techniques for creating robust and flexible vertebrae systems, efficient and animator-friendly controls, and learn how to dynamically parent and blend between spaces. We'll also cover helpful weight painting. By the end of this course, you will have the skills needed to rig your very own quadruped.

In this set of CINEMA 4D tutorials we will learn how to setup a face for animation in CINEMA 4D. Throughout the tutorial we’ll focus on providing animators with the control they need to create believable expressions with a control rig that computes fast. We’ll also creatively explore several techniques and tools that can be used to create natural deformations. Step by step, we’ll make a facial rig that is robust and animator-friendly. We’ll learn everything from how to set up pose morphs, to learning a technique that simulates fleshy eyes. We'll learn how to pin objects to a deforming surface, how to set up Priorities for the rig to evaluate properly, and we’ll also become familiar several of CINEMA 4D's rigging tools. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have the knowledge you need to create facial rigs that produce natural and entertaining expressions.
