Week 7: Rigging/Kinematics

This week we are doing rigging, which is the process of creating skeletons basically, for characters or mechanical objects. It's pretty involved and we are still working on creating a skeleton (or 'rig') for a character, so nothing to show yet : (. Rigging has always intimidated me a bit and it's one of the most, if not the most, technical area of 3d, but Maks (our instructor) is doing a great job making it easier to understand. He is a super talented guy who has worked on many motion feature films as a rigging artist for Beowolf, Bad Boys, Matrix, Stuart Little, Harry Potter, just to name a few. Check out his film credits here... feel lucky to have such an experienced instructor. : )

more later!
