Character Rigging - Art of Effective Rigging 2
This is a showcase of my studies taught by the course 'Art of Effective Rigging' done by P2 Design Academy.
In this post, the 3D models of characters shown are provided by P2 Design, but the rest was executed by my hand.
I showcase from most complex to most simple, but still I recommend sticking around to see all the mechanisms I put into these rigs.
