Why is it recommended to understand other stages before starting with rigging and animation?

• To avoid technical issues

• To learn faster

• To get a better grasp of animation

• To save time in the long run

What should be considered when determining the scale of a character for animation?

• The scene or game engine requirements

• The character's backstory

• The color of the character

• The character's clothing

What is the first step in adjusting the character's size?

• Pressing the 'R' key

• Pressing the 'T' key

• Pressing the 'M' key

• Pressing the 'S' key

Why is it important to hide unnecessary elements during the rigging process?

• They are more colorful

Why is it important to keep bones straight during the rigging process?

• To enhance color contrast

• To make the character look taller

• To simplify the animation process

• To reduce file size

What should be done if a character is not in a T pose?

• Ignore it and continue

• Adjust the arms to be outstretched

• Rotate the character 90 degrees

• Change the character's color

What is the purpose of creating a root bone in a rig?
