Humane Rigging is a new training DVD in the Blender Open Movie Workshop series.
With approximately 6 hours of information-packed video, Nathan's friendly and humorous style of teaching will provide viewers with a solid education in designing and building user-friendly rigs in Blender 2.6. The viewer will come away not with mere step-by-step knowledge of how to build specific rigs, but rather will gain a solid conceptual background in Blender rigging tools and how to exploit them to build and design their own rigs. Emphasis is placed on designing rigs that are friendly for animators.
Rig deformations are touched on enough to get by, but are not covered deeply. They will be covered in-depth in future training material. The focus of this DVD is rig controls.
