Introduction to Rigging

flag Report Problem

Humane Rigging was originally released as a training DVD in the Blender Open Movie Workshop series.

With approximately 6 hours of information-packed video, Nathan's friendly and humorous style of teaching will provide viewers with a solid education in designing and building user-friendly rigs in Blender 2.6. The viewer will come away not with mere step-by-step knowledge of how to build specific rigs, but rather will gain a solid conceptual background in Blender rigging tools and how to exploit them to build and design their own rigs. Emphasis is placed on designing rigs that are friendly for animators.
