Character ‘Rigging’ Intensive Curriculum
If you want to add motion to your character, this is an intensive character 'rigging' curriculum that is essential for the animation stage.
Rigging is ‘the process of planting bones in a character and developing the ability to control motion.’ If rigging is done well, you can make the character move lively and naturally.
From basic anatomical knowledge for character rigging to detailed rigging methods for each part such as hair, limbs, and skirt, and even detailed movement of the most difficult 'face' rigging, such as the skeleton, teeth, and lips!
In addition to systematic and detailed 'full body rigging' lectures, learn 'procedural effects (transformation effects)' to create more complete character animations.

Why Take This Class?
In this class, you can expand the range of tool utilization and usage skills by learning character rigging and procedural effects using Blender.
We studied in depth about various rigging methods that can be used effectively for each body part, such as Spline rigging, IK and FK, and Action Constraints rigging, and invested a lot of time and effort to create an effect that is not used only once. It is produced once and can be used in the environment at any time. You can even learn ‘procedural effect’ techniques that can be reflected accordingly.
Expand your skillset as a 3D industry aspirant and artist with the practical know-how of Jay Choi, a 3D artist with 6 years of experience working in Blender and who has conducted offline training.

Speaker introduction
3D Artist
Jay Choi
Hello, this is 3D artist Jay Choi. I have worked on modeling and animation using Blender at many studios at home and abroad, and am conducting offline Blender training.
When I first encountered Blender in 2010, there was no related material and the tool was not well known, so I had to do everything myself.
In this lecture, I will utilize my self-study experience, offline education, and practical experience to systematically and easily teach complex rigging, including the operating principles of each rigging part, the order of bones, and understanding constraints. I hope that students will experience the world of Blender 3D animation through my lectures.

Korea’s only in-depth ‘character rigging’ lecture
If you want to add movement to the character you created, you must learn 'rigging'.
We will teach you in detail everything from the anatomical knowledge you need to master character rigging to effective rigging methods for each part of the human body, such as arms, legs, shoulders, and face.
*For this class, a completed character modeling file is provided, and rigging work is performed using the provided file.
‘Procedural effect’ production technology that improves character quality
A ‘procedural effect’ that can be created once and used and modified in real time at any time. Learn about procedural effects, improve the quality of animation by creating your own effects that can give a sparkling effect when transforming, and apply transformation effects to various characters in the future.
Learning the know-how of a 6-year-old practitioner of ‘Blender’, a popular 3D tool these days
Use Blender to work on many domestic and international animations, and learn the skills and know-how needed in practice from experts who have provided offline training.
Through this lecture, you can learn advanced Blender features such as constraints principles, drivers, controllers, and nodes, and create rigging and procedural effects.
Class composition
learn this
-
Understanding human anatomy for character riggingBefore rigging, you must have an accurate understanding of the ‘bone position’ to create proper motion. After learning anatomy and the constraints necessary for rigging the human body, we make an overall plan for full-scale rigging based on this. -
Learn detailed rigging for each body partEach part of the body, such as the spine, limbs, fingers, and feet, has different precautions and techniques to use when rigging. Learn in detail how to effectively rig all parts of the human body, including spline rigging, IK+FK rigging, and rigging using Action Constraints.
-
In-depth learning of highly difficult ‘face rigging’We learn in-depth 'face rigging', a difficult part that requires the most delicate work among body parts. Create the bones of the entire face, detail the lips, teeth, and tongue, and use the controller to create natural movements. -
How to use driver and switch functions for convenient workYou will learn the 'Driver' function that can animate all setting values within Blender and the 'Switch' function of the control panel that allows animators to see the controls at a glance and switch the desired rigging decoration, and learn efficient work methods using them. .
-
Detailed character expression with Tension MapWe learn 'Tension Map' to express the detailed changes that occur when a character's expression changes, and learn the know-how to use it effectively to create wrinkles that occur due to changes in the character's clothing, skin, and expression. -
Introduction to procedural effects and creating transformation effectsFor students who are unfamiliar with procedural effects, we will learn about its definition, functionality, and usability. After learning the theory, I will create my own procedural effects to further upgrade the quality of my characters and animation.

interview
What 3D artist Jay Choi Choi wants to say
Question.01
What are the marketability and prospects of 3D animation using Blender?
What are the marketability and prospects of 3D animation using Blender?
3D animation is bound to continue to be in demand in the future.
In particular, the blender's capabilities are superior. Blender is a very powerful tool even though it is open source, so more and more studios overseas are switching to the Blender tool, and because it is easy to access and economical, many startups and small studios are using it.
Question.02
What is the unique point of this course?
What is the unique point of this course?
If you teach Blender on your own, you have to search for overseas materials one by one, and learning academies is not yet common, so learning is not easy.
However, rather than fragmented knowledge or tips, Coloso's lectures systematically contain all the necessary material. We plan to teach you various hard-to-find knowledge and techniques for beginners to intermediate users, including the operating principles of each rigging part, the order of bones, and understanding constraints.
Question.03
What do you want students to learn from this?
What do you want students to learn from this?
It organizes the bone hierarchy, principles of constraints, and rigging.
Because rigging affects which bones come first, it's important to know which bones to work on first. Constraints are technical, and if you know the principles, you can understand rigging at a glance. Lastly, I will teach you my own know-how for systematically organizing and working on complex rigging.
We will guide you through the program to use.
