2D in 3D – Rigging a flat character's arm - Maya
In this video, I will rig the arms for this flat character. I’ll go over the differences between FK and IK, and show how we can create finger curl rigs so the character can hold an object.
0:17 FK vs IK (Forward Kinematics and Inverse Kinematics)
0:55 Maya’s FK/IK switch
1:55 Animation Controls
2:08 Hierarchy for the arm
2:50 Bind Skin

6:05 Finger Curl
6:46 Add Attributes

In the next video, I will start rigging this character face.
Animation is life, I live for animation. #Animation
