Description
In the Bipedal Rigging Series, we take a thorough look at the complete process of rigging, creating bones, skinning, and painting weights of a character from start to finish in Maya. Even if you've never rigged a box before, this tutorial breaks down a complex process in an amazingly thorough – and easy to understand way.
Included in this course is a copy of the character - both before and after - so that you can follow along, or compare your rig with the instructor.
