3D Character Rigging in Blender

Why rigging matters

Rigging is the step that lets a 3D character move in a believable way, and this Blender course from Packt is built around it. It is a beginner-level route into the part of character work that sits between modeling and animation.

For most people, the rig is where a character stops being a static model and starts behaving like a performer. Learning it early makes later animation work easier to plan.

Topics named

• Modeling and game design
• Assets, animations and graphics software

Before you start

The description is brief, so check the syllabus on the course page to see how far the rigging lessons go and whether a finished character is supplied.
