Character Workflow: Rigging

Character TD Esther Trilsch, will show you how to set up a procedural rig, that allows you to build ontop an existing animation along with technical animation, in a relatively easy and flexible manner. Esther will cover some differences between procedural and traditional rigs. She will also do an overview on the elephant HDA, how to set it up and how to get it to work with animated inputs.
