What is RIGGING?
Rigging is a crucial skill in the animation and VFX industries, involving the creation of a digital skeleton and control systems for 3D models, allowing characters and objects to move realistically. By setting up joints, bones, and deformation controls, rigging ensures smooth animation and lifelike articulation. Advanced rigging techniques often include facial rigging for detailed expressions and dynamic rigging for cloth and hair simulations. Popular software like Autodesk Maya, Blender, and Houdini are widely used for rigging, offering robust tools for creating efficient and flexible rigs. Mastering rigging is essential for animators and technical artists aiming to create dynamic, believable animations in films, games, and interactive media.
