| <p>Animation is making an object move or change shape over time. | |
| Objects can be animated in many ways:</p> | |
| <dl class="docutils"> | |
| <dt>Moving as a whole object</dt> | |
| <dd>Changing their position, orientation or size in time;</dd> | |
| <dt>Deforming them</dt> | |
| <dd>Animating their vertices or control points;</dd> | |
| <dt>Inherited animation</dt> | |
| <dd>Causing the object to move based on the movement of another object (e.g. its parent, hook, armature, etc.).</dd> | |
| </dl> | |
| <p>In this chapter, we will cover the first two, | |
| but the basics given here are actually vital for understanding the following chapters as well.</p> | |

| <h2>Rigging<a class="headerlink" href="#rigging" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2> | |
| <p>Rigging is a general term used for adding controls to objects, | |
| typically for the purpose of animation.</p> | |
| <p>Rigging often involves using one or more of the following features:</p> | |
| <dl class="docutils"> | |
| <dt><a class="reference internal" href="armatures/index.html#armatures-index"><span class="std std-ref">Armatures</span></a></dt> | |
| <dd>This allows mesh objects to have flexible joints and is often used for skeletal animation.</dd> | |
| <dt><a class="reference internal" href="constraints/index.html#constraints-index"><span class="std std-ref">Constraints</span></a></dt> | |
| <dd>To control the kinds of motions that make sense and add functionality to the rig.</dd> | |
| <dt><a class="reference internal" href="../modeling/modifiers/index.html#modifiers-index"><span class="std std-ref">Object Modifiers</span></a></dt> | |
| <dd>Mesh deformation can be quite involved, there are multiple modifiers that help control this.</dd> | |
| <dt><a class="reference internal" href="shape_keys/index.html#animation-shape-keys-index"><span class="std std-ref">Shape Keys</span></a></dt> | |
| <dd>To support different target shapes <em>(such as facial expressions)</em> to be controlled.</dd> | |
| <dt><a class="reference internal" href="drivers/index.html#animation-drivers-index"><span class="std std-ref">Drivers</span></a></dt> | |
| <dd>So your rig can control many different values at once, | |
| as well as making some properties automatically update based on changes elsewhere.</dd> | |
| </dl> | |
| <p>Rigging can be as advanced as your project requires, | |
| rigs are effectively defining own user interface for the animator to use, | |
| without having to be concerned the underlying mechanisms.</p> | |
| <div class="section" id="examples"> | |
| <h3>Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#examples" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3> | |
| <ul class="simple"> | |
| <li>An armature is often used with a modifier to deform a mesh for character animation.</li> | |
| <li>A camera rig can be used instead of animating the camera object directly to simulate real-world camera rigs | |
| (with a boom arm, mounted on a rotating pedestal for example, effects such as camera jitter can be added too).</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <div class="admonition seealso"> | |
| <p class="first admonition-title">See also</p> | |
| <p class="last">The content of this chapter is simply a reference to how rigging is accomplished in Blender. | |
| It should be paired with additional resources such as Nathan Vegdahl’s excellent introduction to | |
| the fundamental concepts of character rigging, | |
