Character Rigging

[erilaz]

There's a whole section of the cgtalk forum dedicated to it 3d_man_89!

Rigging is generally to do with setting up bones in a character for animation. A character rig is usually the system that deforms and moves the mesh, not the mesh itself.

I usualy dump skinning into that catergory as well, as in the actual assigning of the bones to the mesh areas.

Check out the rigging section of cgtalk to get a better idea.

In the case of 3ds max, a rig would usually consist of max bones. Check out the manual for a rig tutorial.
