Riven makes rigging, an exceptionally difficult process, look easy. Great tutorial. Should say it's at least for intermediate users. This is amazing. There are many advanced concepts here.

By George Harnett on 12/6/2020

I'm only a couple of hours into this but it seems like a good fit so far. I didn't realize that it was created with blender 2.79 or so, but so far it hasn't been an issue following along. I didn't take his first course to actually model the person he is using (one can download it), but I am using a character I had created so we will see how it goes.

By Andres on 11/16/2020

Thank you, I really like the course, you should also make a course about texturing the character.

By Javier Ramirez on 11/2/2020

I've learned a lot with this course! It has helped me throughout my career as game designer.

By Tony P on 9/21/2020

I know nothing about animation, but have always been interested in it. So far, I am very pleased with the explanations and instructions in the course. Great Job. Thank You.

By Sourabh Deshpande on 9/16/2020

Awesome course. Thank you Riven for putting together such a detailed course on such a complex topic.

By Dominic Harvey on 9/8/2020

Wow, so much too learn!

By Jefferson Luiz da Silva Junior on 8/14/2020

The course is excellent. Riven has a very good way of teaching, everything is explained in a very detailed way. Maybe an face section could be added.

By Martin Wittfooth on 8/3/2020

Very useful lessons for deepening my understanding of modeling and understand how I may be able to apply these techniques to my own work. We move pretty fast through some stages though so there's been a fair amount of pausing/rewinding going on throughout the course.

By Antaeus Schumpert on 7/18/2020

VERY TECHNICAL. The most involved I've seen since I began this journey. I learned a great deal. Really nice the - weight transfer system... really liked how you experimented with bones and weight painting... along with other information. If anyone is serious about rigging for professional reasons, or professional personal reasons, this is an in-depth course. I took your character model course as well - outstanding - just what I was looking for. However, I didn't get a chance to comment like this. It's all about the workflow. Thanks, Riven. BLEND ON!

By Troy Growden on 7/17/2020

Definitely the next logical step after doing the modelling course. I would have liked to have seen a link to it when buying the original course, and/or a reference to it at the end of the modelling course.
Very thorough on the theory and trying to explain whats going on behind the scenes.
At times there is too much though, a *lot* to slog through, without much practical application to show the theory in a true example of where these situations are used.
I ended up skipping through most of them in the end, too painful to watch and go through.
I was keen for these lessons until I got to the slog in the middle (Sections 5 and 6). Hard to stay awake...
All in all very good and thorough

I've seen some complaints about the amount of depth and nitty gritty that the instructor gets into on topics, but I personally love that stuff. If I wanted just broad overviews of topics, I'd watch some YouTube videos. I like understanding all the under the hood workings because it helps me fully understand what I need to do when trying to problem solve something. It also has the added benefit of helping me understand Blender more deeply so that it actually provides insight into other parts of the program beyond just rigging as well.
