Blender Tutorial: Rigging

This week we continue our mini Blender tutorials with rigging! Rigging is adding ‘bones‘ to your 3D model in order to animate it later. Rigging can be a bit boring, so Blender has an addon called Rigify that does most of the work for you! I would highly recommend making your first rig on your own though to learn the process. It’ll help a lot when editing the pre-made rigs in Rigify.

This tutorial goes through creating a rig for your model from scratch and I recommend following along and trying it yourself.

This is a tutorial for Rigify to speed up the rigging process a bit and make it easier. After making a rig from scratch, it’ll be easy to edit and move the pre-made rig to your model.
