Digital-Tutors : Rigging Wings in Softimage 2 hrs. 41 min.| Released on August 1, 2011|Project Files Included (20 MB) Required Software: Softimage 2012

In this collection of lessons we will learn how to rig a wing in Softimage.

In this course, we will learn how to rig a wing in Softimage. We will first cover some things to consider when constructing the control rig. From there, we will set up the wing, step by step, making sure the system we build will be sufficient to the needs of an animator. We’ll also work with custom parameters and expressions to automate certain behaviors so the animator can work faster.
