Rigging and Rigs

Learning Intentions

Understand the purpose of rigging
Understand the how to move the rig in a natural way

Success Criteria

I can use rigging in an animation to make parts of an object move

tODAY'S LESSON

Today we're going to making a character or object move.

Rigging

Rigging is a term associated with animation and involves adding a digital skeleton or frame to a character or an object.
When we use the Asset Warp Tool in Adobe Animate, we turn our 2D image into a rig that we can manipulate.
We can then create joints on our rig that allow us to move those parts of the rig independently.

Using keyframe animation

Once we have setup our rig in a keyframe, we can then create another keyframe.
On that new keyframe we can easily modify it and create a tween to make the changes made to the rig between the frames look seamless.

Reminders - keyframe animation

Tweening creates the frame between two keyframes.
Keyframes should be created before any changes are made and tweening should only be done after the keyframes are set.

Bitmoji task

If you have not already, create your own Bitmoji and copy it to Adobe Animate.
Using the instructions provided, create an animation using your Bitmoji.
When you finish that, you can work on the Stork Carrying a Baby animation in the Hands On Tutorial section of Adobe Animate.

Lesson review

I can follow instructions to use the rig to move a character or object

I can use the rigging tools independently of any instructions to make my character or object move between frames

I have mastered rigging in Adobe Animate and can use keyframes and tweens to help make a smooth animation
