Rigging for Games : An 8-week course focused on developing game-ready rigs in Maya
Develop realistic rigs ready for gaming
This course is all about creating robust engine agnostic rigs. We will tackle thinking in components, as well as the possibilities of scripting to improve and automate workflow. We will also focus on the ability to reverse engineer existing rigs and being able to debug/anticipate problems.
COURSE FORMAT: Standard
LECTURE TYPE: Pre-recorded
FEEDBACK: Individual recordings
DURATION: 8 weeks
MATERIALS: Autodesk Maya
SKILLS LEVEL: Intermediate
PREREQUISITES: A basic understanding of rigging and scripting will help but is not necessary; basic knowledge of Maya is expected.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
The more you know, the better.
