About this course
Have you ever wondered about the process your gaming characters go through to look like the way they are? Contrary to what many people may think, it’s not just about drawing the character and animating it; the process is way more complicated and multi-staged than that. However, these enjoyable training courses will exclusively focus on the rigging stage; the pre-animation stage where the artist outlines the character’s digital skeleton, including their bones, joints, and facial features using Maya. Moreover, you will learn how to skin your character and bring it to life.
