Rigging 101 for Game Characters Maya 2020.3

Requirements

• Mac or PC capable of running the newest version of Maya.
• Willingness to learn a new skillset.
• Basic Maya knowledge.
• Drawing Tablet (Highly Recommended)

In this course, we will create a full character rig where you will learn the industry-standard methods that I have refined throughout my years of experience in the games industry.

The information is taught in a “big picture” way so that you can follow along with your own biped character models and learn as you create your own products. However, if you don’t have your own model we provide the model shown in the tutorial.

We want to make the learning process easy to understand for you, covering all tools and concepts of rigging. There will even be some tests, so be sure to take notes. Learning 3D rigging can be overwhelming so make sure to pace yourself.

For those with experience rigging, you’ll learn tips that will accelerate your current workflow and help you to polish your skills.

I will be available for you throughout the whole course, so feel free to send me a message if you encounter any issues. I will help you solve it as soon as possible over Udemy or Discord.
