Reviews

“This book reveals things that I did not know about Blender that have completely changed the way that I’m going to be rigging characters going forward. It’s a really comprehensive breakdown of the rigging process. Would I recommend it to students? Absolutely. Would I recommend to professionals moving on from Maya to a Blender workflow? Absolutely!” Richard Shilling, 3D Artist and creator of the Dikko! 3D Animation YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@Dikko
