Duration 2h 44m Level Beginner Project Files Included MP4
In this set of tutorials we will learn about the amazing rigging tools inside of Maya.We'll
start by learning how to establish solid naming conventions to how to work with Maya's joint and
IK tools.
We'll then learn tips and techniques that will help us rig efficiently while maintaining quality
in the control systems we design. We'll learn how to implement robust and intuitive rigging
features with the help of custom channels and the Node Editor, how to rig with deformers, as
well as skinning techniques that we can utilize to get great results from our deformations while
saving time in the process.
We'll even learn how Maya's interface can be customized to help us work a little faster. By the
end of this training, you will be comfortable enough with Maya's rigging tools to rig your own
assets.
