NOTE THAT THIS COURSE IS TARGETED TOWARDS INTERMEDIATE USERS

For the past eight years, I have worked on multiple video games spanning from indie titles to professional AAA works. I am so excited to share my knowledge of rigging in video games to help you with your projects or land a job in the games industry.

In this course, we will create a full character rig where you will learn the industry-standard methods that I have refined throughout my years of experience in the games industry.

The information is taught in a “big picture” way so that you can follow along with your own biped character models and learn as you create your own products. However, if you don’t have your own model we provide the model shown in the tutorial.

We want to make the learning process easy to understand for you, covering all tools and concepts of rigging. There will even be some tests, so be sure to take notes. Learning 3D rigging can be overwhelming so make sure to pace yourself.

For those with experience rigging, you’ll learn tips that will accelerate your current workflow and help you to polish your skills.

I will be available for you throughout the whole course, so feel free to send me a message if you encounter any issues. I will help you solve it as soon as possible over Udemy or Discord.

8 hours of video content and still updating!

I am so excited to see what you all come up with and the results you get for your characters!

Riggers, what are you waiting for?
