Course Overview
Learn the tools and concepts to rig props and characters in Maya 2018
NOTE THAT THIS IS AN INTERMEDIATE COURSE
Learning 3D rigging can be very confusing and time-consuming when doing it by yourself. I want to make the learning process easy for you, going through all the tools and concepts of rigging in very detailed videos.
In this course, we will create rigs from A to Z. From planning the rigs to developing the necesary interface a model needs to be animated.
We will do a series of rigs, from props to characters, to make sure that after finishing this course, you'll have the knowledge required to solve any rig that is presented to you.
You'll learn tips and shortcuts that will accelerate your workflow and make you understand the fundamentals of 3D rigging.
I will be available for you through the whole course, feel free to send me a message if you encounter any issue. I will help you solve it and understand why it presented itself.
So please, take this course now.
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."

"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! Thank you Alex!"

I’ve been working in 3D for over 30 years and have used Maya since version 1.0, though I’m still filling some gaps in rigging, skinning, and animation. I picked up this course at the usual 80% discount, and at that price it was fine - but not more than that. Most of the five‑star reviews seem to come from complete beginners. As always, check the 1–3 star reviews first; they’re much closer to the truth. The course feels improvised, as if it was recorded without proper planning or structure. In the end, I went back to the Autodesk Maya Learning Channel on YouTube, where you can find two excellent, in‑depth rigging courses and additional videos on automated rigging - at no cost.
