Description

This course will teach you everything you need to know about rigging in Blender!


This course consists of 2 parts:

  • Rigging Basics for Beginners where I show you all the basics of rigging in Blender.

  • Blender - Rigging Your First Character where I show you how to rig a biped character from scratch.


By following both tutorials, you will learn about the basics of rigging and how to rig your own characters! The tutorials include a voiceover in which I guide you through the process from start to finish.


For the rigging demo I use a skeleton character from my "Blender: Make a Low Poly Skeleton 3D Character" tutorial but you can use any other biped character and follow along.
