About the course

This course offers a 15-week comprehensive journey into rigging for visual effects, blending theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice.

Students begin with an introduction to rigging tools and transformations, mastering basic concepts like naming conventions and parent-child relationships. They progress to advanced topics such as set-driven keys, attribute editing, and constraints, gaining proficiency in precise object control and animation.
