In this CINEMA 4D tutorial, you will learn tools and techniques for rigging cartoon characters in CINEMA 4D. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a cartoony control rig in CINEMA 4D. Step by step, we will create a rig that will generate cartoon-like flexibility. We'll learn how to create intuitive, animator-friendly controls and how to build a bendy limb rig. We will learn how to create an advanced squash and stretch spine rig with volume controls. We'll create a flexible, counter-rotation arm rig to preserve the upperarm as it twists, and learn how to skin to a cage to work smarter and more efficiently. Overall, we'll make sure our rig is robust, to endure through extreme conditions.

Animator Friendly Rigging is one of the top training tools available to learn the ins and outs of creating character rigs that your animators will enjoy working with.

In this collection of lessons we will learn about a wide variety of useful techniques for rigging game characters.

In this course, we will rig a character for a game in Maya. We will cover techniques like setting up our joints to have a consistent orientation throughout the entire skeleton, we will build a twist rig to fix deformations that collapse in animation, we will learn how to create a foot rig with more banking control, and even cover creating a robust and flexible spine rig with advanced twisting. We will also discuss weight painting techniques that help to speed up that process, making it less intimidating and instead more of an enjoyable experience. By the end of this course you will learn rigging techniques that can be applied to any rig you build.

In this CINEMA 4D tutorial, we will learn how to rig a wing in CINEMA 4D. We will first cover some things to consider when constructing the control rig. From there, we will set up the wing, step by step, making sure the system we build will be sufficient to the needs of an animator. We’ll also learn about several really neat rigging features in CINEMA 4D along the way; features that can be used on any control rig you create.

In this series of lessons, we will learn how Softimage can be used to model an appealing, cartoony character in a way that allows for a wide range of movement and emotions when animating. When rigging and animating, it's always nice to have an appealing character to work with. In these lessons, we'll cover the building of a simple character with emotive eyes and eyebrows which you can then rig and animate. We will look at methods for building the head, body, arms, and legs and methods for connecting them all together. During the modeling process, we will emphasize the use of proper topology and discuss how topology and edge flow can impact the outcome of the rigging and animation process.

In this 3ds Max tutorial we will learn techniques for rigging quadrupeds in 3ds Max. In this series of lessons we will learn how to rig quadrupeds in 3ds Max. 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 link and blend between spaces. We’ll also cover helpful weight painting techniques and learn how to set up and automate the triggering of corrective targets. By the end of this course, you will have the skills needed to rig your very own quadruped.

In this series of lessons you will learn how to rig a sea creature in Maya. In this course, you will learn tips and techniques for rigging sea creatures in Maya. Throughout the course we’ll focus on setting our creature up with creative and intuitive controls. We'll learn how to set up Mel scripts to cut down time on repetitive tasks. We'll learn how to create a proficient vertebrae rig. We'll create an automated overlapping tail system that can be blended into an FK control rig. We’ll also explore skinning techniques to reduce the time it takes to edit weights. By the end of this course, you’ll have the knowledge you need to create your own aquatic creature rigs, with techniques that can be used on a wide variety of creatures and characters.
