3d Model Rigging. At the most basic level these objects are nulls groups and joints. Joints are objects that essentially act as the bones of the skeleton where the nulls groups targets act as the cartilage to define the range of movement.
3d animation rigging is the process of creating a virtual skeleton of a 3d model. This bone structure is used to manipulate the 3d model like a puppet for animation. Rigging is the first step in creating a skeletal 3d animation.
Rigging is the process of taking the 3d model and building a skeleton into it so it could move the way we want it to.
Rigging is a technique used in skeletal animation for representing a 3d character model using a series of interconnected digital bones. 3d rigging is in effect the process of creating an invisible skeleton that defines how an object moves. In the making of of my first animated film i showed what rigs are and in this video tutorial i will go over how i rigged the main character the cube so it would have squash and stretch capabilities. An animation or 3d rig usually comprises a system of invisible objects that can be seen in a 3d viewport but not in a final render.
