Thinking of making some rigging tutorials · Jul 7, 10:06pm

I’ve been thinking of making some rigging related tutorials so I’m reaching out to try and figure out what people want/need.

Topics I’ve thought of so far:

Joint Placement for deformation: A conceptual essay on cg skeletal structure vs. anatomical form and a practical study of placement in the back, shoulder, fingers and hips

Useful Nodes outside of the UI: Maya has numerous nodes I use daily when rigging that just aren’t apart of the GUI – An introduction to them and how they help.

Rigging inside a cg short pipeline: DO’s/DON’T and famous last words along with conceptual ideas like incremental rigging, fileReferencing, cgshort Pipelines that have worked.

So you’re animator? Rigging 101: How to setup a very simple yet effective rig in under an hour

What do you guys think? I miss something you’re looking for? What’s your favorite – want to read first?
