Course Description
Hi there, you all have been probably offered a project in which you need to rig and animate the character?
but because you think the rig and animating a character is very hard and you're not able to do it, you reject the offer and you don't even go for it.
Or maybe many times you wanted to solve this problem and once for all learn how to rig all character parts and expressions which are needed in this context and make yourself needless in this field.
But the big problem is that most tutorials rig and animate the character from one pose but most of the projects we get offered are not like that and the character should be animated and rigged from different poses.
But all of the motion designers that don't have all these skills together, especially when they are beginners and they are kind of amateur.
The first goal of this course is that you can download the character you like from freepik or any other website with the least information about designing a character. Improve its poses completely for a professional rig so you won't have any problem while animating it.
In the continue, you learn how to rig your character fast and simple by duik script and control all poses of your character just by one skeleton and don't need to rig and skeletonize for different poses again.
You learn how to control poses of your character by slider.
How to create different states for your character hand.
How to create mouth states and control them by slider and be able to create lip sync animation.
How to rig the eyes and eyebrows.
In the next chapter, we explain another popular way of rigging so you can control your character's parts by the controllers in the scene and show off your rigging abilities.
And eventually, you learn how to put the characters you rigged in different scenes and resize it without your rig having a problem so at the end you can easily animate your character from different poses and enjoy the rig you have done.

The detail explanation was so easy to understand. The topic was so challenging and complex but this course makes it easy to understand and learn. That made me not to give up at half stage. So helpful.

The audio is extremely poor. Course is ok.
By Keira Crow on 5/21/2024
This course was very indepth and incredibly helpful! The only problem I had was some of the expressions were mentioned quickly and I had to pause and replay to make sure they were right. All in all I learned some great techniques!

It might be a bit difficult for me. Because there are a lot of detailed steps involved, but with the help of the instructor (Motion Guru). Which It allowed me to solve the problems I encountered. And I started to enjoy it. I might have to try doing it slowly because I want to be able to do it.

not given the reference for the character and mouth at least , he also did not give us the After Effects files after finished working on them , and the codes don't work The course is very difficult to apply
By Pelin Çayönü on 12/12/2022
Very professional teaching but it would be better to teach on the provided man character instead of a premium character of freepik because at the beginning I started with a free character then back to provided man character because of the side /profile views. That made me a bit wasting time

Worth every penny. Every second is gold. I purchased 3 courses and I'm already excited for the next ones. Edit: After finally finishing the entire course. I can totally recommend this course. No useless explanations, no time wasting. The course is concise, high yield, and complete. In order to really gain from the course, every step must be followed along. Since the course uses expressions a lot for the rigging, Animoplex's guide on expressions was a huge help for me.

This course is amazing. I will give it a 10 stars if there was an option. Highly recommend this course. It is very well explained and everything in the course is easy to follow.
