Rigging Poses

Rigging Exercise & Poses:

Let me start with a personal note: This exercise should be given more time and training put into it. Because rigging is quite a big component, we only had 1 week to finish it. Moreover, after following the tutorial, many aspects of this component have not been covered.

Learning Outcomes:
We started off building the skeleton with the joint tool and then moved on to put IK handles on the model. All these are simple. Soon, we moved on to the part where we give the feet and fingers attributes - although this is tedious, I found it much entertaining and easy.

During the initial stages where we had to orient the joints, I didn't do that part properly, when I skinned my model and tried to orient the backbone, my model did not behave properly and I had to orient my model again.

Moving on, after skinning the model, the hardest part was up ahead. The weight painting, it is not only difficult but you have to have a good sense of imagination and knowledge of the human body.

I've learnt quite a lot from this exercise and the video is really helpful for rigging beginners.
