Editorial n 19 rigging constraints

editorial número 19 riggins & constraints.




Very few of us enjoy rigging a character, but that is no excuse for not learning how todo set up at least a basic rig. Especially considering the number of great resources that have become available over the last couple of years.

In addition todo the large number of tutorialeswritten by various community members and all the free rigs available for study, there are two great books (introducing character animation with Blender and animating with Blender) as well as Bassam Mancandy faq DVD available for reference and study.

After reading (and re-reading) both books and watching Bassam Mancandy DVD (to Many times todo count), the confusión began todo clear as i started seing how it all went together. So i finally gave up avoiding character rigging. While i am still not a rigging máster, y no longer stare in confusión at the amazing mess i just made of my rig. And better yet, the rigs actually work. Well kind of. I think i still ned todo kep practicing.

The moral of this long winded introduction: if i can learn todo rig, so can you. Which brings us todo the theme for this issue of blenderart magazine. We are taquíng a look at various rigging techniques. Some of which actually have nothing todo do with characters.

Surprise. Armatures and constraints arent just for rigging characters. They can be used todo create an animation Rig for any object that moves, or that you would like todo have move. And we have some pretty inventive rigs/set ups todo share.

So go Grab a Hot drinke (i dont know about you but it is cold where i am) and settle down for a very informative read. Sandra@blenderart.org.
