3D Rigging Fundamentals for Animation and VFX

Before a 3D character or prop can move convincingly, it must be rigged—a skill that combines technical precision with creative problem-solving. This course teaches the core principles and techniques through practical projects.

You'll progress systematically from simple concepts through more complex rigs, learning proper approaches for characters, creatures, mechanical objects, and props. While basic Maya familiarity helps, the instructor breaks down tools and concepts to be accessible to beginners while maintaining depth for those advancing their skills.

Perfect for 3D artists entering the animation, VFX, or game development pipeline, or modelers looking to expand into the rigging specialist role. You'll leave understanding not just how to rig, but why certain approaches matter for efficiency and animation performance.
