Continuing on from my Rig Research I also began looking into existing rigs for animation with the aim of learning professional workflow, presentation and practice. With most of these pages I have been observing the control systems for each rig to better understand how to present them in a user-friendly and approachable way. I found the most effective way to do this was to design them in select number of colours and building them in...

By realising and learning how the skeleton and muscles work I believe it can only enhance my rig construction and in turn allow for more flexible and believable. animations. Sorry for the mostly...
