Rigging is a specialty we must appreciate. In this overview, we have explored the basics until all the goodies a professional rig features…

This video isn't a complete tutorial, however, it aims to show every aspect of what (facial) rigging can entail. Showing what aspects are important and will be a part of rigs at every level. Then on the other hand exploring techniques that might have specific use cases.

Rigging is about enabling as much as limiting the animator. I know that sounds weird, but it's true.

Also in a production pipeline, we always want to include as many features just in case it is needed. Yet project managers will tell you that 'might be handy someday', is never included when budgeting.

Rigs are always tailored to the specific model, situation, and use case.

    I would appreciate if you made a tutorial on how to make a short film that includes animation and setting the scene and animate character's emotions.

    I just stumbled across your channel...and after watching this video I subscribed. You have a clear and easy-to-follow approach that many video makers don't, at least for me to follow. I do wish you would consider making a course in rigging that covers the topics you went through in this video...but in a more detailed manner. I know this would be time-consuming for you but I am thinking of it as a paid course. I would definitely buy it. Currently, I am creating a dog model for a friend, I am retired and therefore have the time, and I need to really articulate the face, mouth, ears, tongue, eyelids, etc. I am trying to go through the old course called "The Art of Effective Rigging." As thorough as it is, it is outdated, and I personally enjoy your approach to explaining things compared to the instructor of this course. So this should serve only as a compliment to you if you have no interest in creating such a detailed course. I have modeled in Blender for years but this is my first time venturing into texturing, rigging, animating and rendering, and compositing. I have lots to learn and I always look for instructors who come across as clearly as you do in this video. Thank you!

  • @codywhidby9496
    Could you make a tutorial on how to animate realistic hair for blender for animals and humans with long hair?
  • @assassinsenpai
    Question: for the bendy bones technique, how do you parent it to the face for a face rig?
  • @ezpz4646
    Third guy looks exactly like Arthur Shelby from Peeky Blinders
  • @phlipclip5097
    You started your video with lots of examples that you never get into. Please come back to those examples (I am pretty sure those examples were not yours though). Point me where you got those animations.
