A character rig or a character setup is a digital skeleton linked to a 3D model. A character rig is essentially a digital puppet that animators can use to manipulate a digital character in the desired position for character animation. With this introductory rigging course, you will learn the fundamental principles and techniques of digital character rigging and build a character rig. We'll start by making a cube rig by implementing the basic principles of animation. The second half of the course focuses on creating a fully functional bipedal character. At the end of this course, the student will gain the basics of 3D character rigging
