University Level Rigging Course for Free! (2026)

Chapter by chapter

This is a chaptered companion to a longer Blender rigging playlist, with 11 chapters and timestamps for each. The sequence starts with serious rigging and an IK-FK switch, then moves through improved leg rigs and an easier hand rig.

Chapter length varies, but the timestamps make it simple to plan a session around one topic. Each chapter is a self-contained step, so you can rewatch a single rig without the rest of the course.

Later chapters

The middle of the course covers pro weight painting, hard-surface weights and mechanical rigging. The last chapters move to shape keys, improving deformations with them, and an all-in-one face rig.

Use the timestamps to jump straight to the chapter you need, for example if you already know weight painting and want the face rig.

Beginners can follow it, though rigging is a demanding topic and the chapters reward patience.
