Maya is the industry standard for animation and rigging. If you want to animate characters like 3D animators from Disney, you are in the right place. In this course, you will learn how to create a rig that can be
quickly and easily animated manually or automatically.

Whatever character you have, whether it is a human or an animal.
We will start simple, with questions: Do you need a rig at all?
What cases do require it? After that, we will gradually proceed
from using mGear systems to creating our own setups.

This course is for those who have very recently discovered Autodesk Maya. You should be prepared that rigging requires a high level of concentration as well as some experience in working with 3D. At times it won’t be that easy, but rigging is the only way to bring your character to life.
