Hi all,

Could someone point me to a general tutorial on rigging?. Let me explain, the process of setting bones, weight maps, expressions is know to me, I have also a few links to tutorials, the one thing missing in all of these tutorial are the placement of certain elements in hierachies. I see that people place hips bones und the spine, or jaw bones parented to the head bone and what not, but never is explained why. I just need fundamental pointers.

Thanks

You mentioned "expressions" so I'm assuming you use Maya.

Try these:

also this site answers some tricky questions once you get a bit better:
