  14. TUTORIAL
  16. Learn how to rig a four-legged creature (aka a quadruped) in Maya
  17. using a fun example: man's best friend. Jason Baskin shows how to
  18. rig an entire dog mesh from start to finish in this project-based
  19. course. First, you'll learn how to create a basic skeleton,
  20. positioning joints to deform the mesh at specific locations and
  21. adding controls for the head, neck, and ears. You'll then rig the
  22. hind legs, adding subfoot pivots that allow the dog's legs to
  23. connect to the ground when walking and running. Jason also covers
  24. more advanced techniques, such as creating a "stretchy" back and
  25. head for more energetic animation and controlling the dog's tags
  26. with dynamics. Finally, you'll learn how to bind the mesh to the
  27. skeleton, and test the rig by putting it through a simple
  28. animation.
  30. Topics include:
  32. * Creating the skeleton
