Character Rigging

A technique used in skeletal animation for representing a 3D character model using a series of interconnected digital bones.

• Rigging

• Scaling

• Constraining

• Kinematics

This is the process of binding a modeled surface to a skeleton.

• UV Mapping

• Inverse Kinematics

• Creating Joints

• Skinning

The _________ is the interface for your character, dictating how the character moves.

• Joint

• Rig

• Constraint

• Timeline

______________ connect objects so that they move together.

A _________ is basically a marker used to specify an object's position and attributes at a given point in time.

• Timeframe

• Spacing Frame

• Keyframe

• Scene Frame

It refers on how the child node, as it moves, effects all the parents' position and orientation values

After you create a skeleton, you bind it with the character’s surface so that the surfaces move with the skeleton during animation. The character’s surface after binding is called a ______.

• Skin

• Constraint

• UV Map

• Texture

What is the shape of a virtual bone in Maya?

When you move the main joint, all of the other joints move based on the rotation of the main joint. This is an example of ___________.

These are the building blocks of skeletons and their points of articulation; they have no shape and therefore can not be rendered.

• Workspace

• Nodes

• Rigs

• Joints
