For Rigging Beginners

This course is aimed at beginner Blender users who want to up their rigging game and learn to rig robots, joints, hydraulics and other hardsurface things. Some basic knowledge of the Blender UI is recommended, but other than that we start from the basics and gradually ramp up the difficulty as we move to a complete robotic rigging project.

"This course is the perfect match if you want to make your first steps in hard surface rigging and rigging in general, with top quality editing as usual with the Creative Shrimp crew."

David Petratos, PetRat Productions

"I loved the course, it was very in-depth and extremely high quality. I've never seen a rigging course quite like this one! I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to create high quality, user-friendly hard surface rigs!"

Robert, Blender Creator

"I did not think that I could rig a complex rig like this, but this rigging course made sense. The theoretical part scared me in the beginning but the way this course is built I could more easily comprehend the ‘hands-on’ part of the course thanks to the theory. I am now ready to create some complex rigs, I’ll be sure to check out your bonus updates on rigging. Thanks creativeshrimp and Jeannot."

Jan Van Dem Hemel, Writer of the Blender Secrets E-Book

"If you want to know everything about rigging mechanical things in Blender such as cables, gears and hydraulics, this video course by rigging expert Jeannot Landry is chock-full of rigging wisdom. Divided into short, clear chapters it's all you need to get your robo model ready for animation!"

Saphire, Valiant Studio

"A wonderful in-depth tutorial for anyone using Blender, new or old, and straight from the pro's! This course is an absolute necessity for anyone doing rigging in blender, as it will make your life, and your animator's lives, so much better!"
