What you'll learn

In this CINEMA 4D tutorial, you will learn tools and techniques for rigging cartoon characters in CINEMA 4D. This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating a cartoon-y control rig in CINEMA 4D. Step by step, we will create a rig that will generate cartoon-like flexibility. We'll learn how to create intuitive, animator-friendly controls and how to build a bendy limb rig. We will learn how to create an advanced squash-and-stretch spine rig with volume controls. We'll create a flexible, counter-rotation arm rig to preserve the upper arm as it twists, and we'll learn how to skin to a cage to work smarter and more efficiently. Overall, we'll make sure our rig is robust enough to endure through extreme conditions. Software required: CINEMA 4D R12.
