The process of preparing a model for animation can be complex and highly technical. With new intimidating terminology and skills to learn.
I've been there - but I know that rigging can be so fun and rewarding!
That's why I created a new course on the Fundamentals of Rigging, breaking it down to bite-sized lessons which explain rigging in basic terms, building on what you already know (even if you've never done any animation before).
Together with Chris Kuhn (one of the best Blender riggers) we take you through Character and Mechanical rigging, with the help of 2 FREE and fully rigged models for you to download and play around with.
