What is rigging and why is important for 3D animation?
Rigging is the process of constructing a virtual skeleton for a character or object in a 3D animation. It’s important because it makes it possible to move the character or object in a realistic and believable way. The rig is usually created using a set of connected bones and joints, which can be manipulated to move the character or object. The rig also provides a framework which is used to apply textures, materials, and even animation behaviors.
