Rigging
Rigging
, as used here, refers to setting up interactive controls to facilitate animation of a character or
other object. In the case of a character, a rig might be set up to control taking a step or waving a hand.
Typically, a character rig facilitates the animation of a character by providing a high-level control that
manipulates multiple DOFs in a coordinated manner. This not only makes animating the character eas-
ier, it also provides consistency for the character's movements.
