Hey everyone!

If you are ready for the next step after Rigging Isn’t Scary, here it is.

I'm excited to announce the release of "Rigging Unleashed", a brand-new course designed to take your Blender rigging skills from Intermediate to Advanced.

IMPORTANT

Before we get into the cool features of the new course, keep in mind: The new Course Builds on Rigging Isn’t Scary! We'll keep adding advanced features to the rig from the previous course.

So if you haven’t completed the first course yet, I highly recommend starting there.

Watch Rigging isn't Scary Free on YouTube

OR

Buy it on Academy for a better viewing experience and priority support.

What’s inside Rigging Unleashed?

Full Body Squash and Stretch - enable extreme cartoony deformations for your characters!

Soft IK - Soft IK is not easy to demonstrate with a GIF. But you'll feel it when you animate. Without soft IK, the legs will overextend and "pop" and you'll have to constantly correct the pose to fix that. Soft IK saves the animator a lot of work.

Additional Isolation Mechanisms - more improvements that will pay off by saving you animation time.

IK Fingers - for when you want to pin the fingers, rather than the IK hand.

Smooth Foot Roll - for a more natural foot lift

FACE: sticky controls - the shapekey controls follow the mesh exactly for intuitive face manipulation

FACE: Sticky Lips - more realistic lips behavior

FACE: Wrinkle Maps - make your character's face even more expressive

Will this course become free?

Since I released "Rigging isn't Scary" for free, you may be wondering if "Rigging Unleashed" will also be released free of charge later on.

The answer is: No. I'd love to give away all of my work but it's not something I can afford to do right now.
