Course Description

Cinema 4D allows you to create professional full-body character rigs. Take your 3D characters to the next level. Rigging Masterclass.

This course will teach everything you need to know about rigging a 3D character using Cinema 4D's Character Object. I will cover everything, from the basics to the more advanced stuff.

We will begin by discussing the importance of character and character optimization. You will also learn how to optimize your characters before you rig them.

Next, will create the base rig with the Character Object. The complete skeleton will be created, including the spline and legs, arms, fingers as well as the head and eyes. To make the rig even more useful, will have both IK- and FK controllers that we can switch with one button.

Then, you will be taught how to adjust the Character Object so that the skeleton matches the character mesh. The Character Rig will be bonded to the character mesh . Later, you will learn how to properly weight your character. We will also pose the character in a dynamic running pose.

These are the main topics that we will be covering. However, you will also learn how the Cloth Surface Object works when rigging a Character. How to use the Weight Tool. You will also learn the basics normalization, and auto-normalization in Cinema 4D. You will also learn about Inverse Kinematics and Forward Kinematics.

This course contains a lot of valuable information that will be useful in any character rigging project that you may undertake in the future.

This course will give you a solid understanding of Cinema 4D's 3D character rigging process. You will also be able create your own rigs to suit your characters.

Get ready to learn a lot and I'll be there with you.
