Testimonials:"I am amazed how comprehensive this course was for time frame. It was totally engaging. There were little gems of insight all throughout, especially regarding production techniques that I was not aware of. What stood out for me were the initial simple examples used's to teach the fundamentals of Alex's rigging technique. He explained it so well with his simple rigs that you feel prepared for when he moves on to the complex bipedal model. It's easier to follow, understand and replicate."-Lydia Dewolf"Awesome course. I have paired this course alongside my 6th term animation classed at TorontoFilmSchool and it has helped me immensely. They instructor is a huge help and responds to questions or problems you might run into very fast and is very patient."-Zachary Zwanenburg"Amazing! A lot of information is explained in such a good way!
I love it!
For the ones who are starting to rig and for others that already now but want to reinforce their knowledge it's the best course. Also it's really useful to understand the workflow of rigging in videogames!
