Hello polycount! I'm rigging a character in Maya and having trouble when it comes to the suspenders.

No brick and mortar school is going to have a full time rigging course. They`ll have generalist courses where you do some rigging, but because most people hate rigging, they tend to skip over it a lot. Your best bet is taking an online course. Yes, rigging dojo. There's also iAnimate and animSchool. I've taken both.…
I am an Artist, and I have decided to start the painful yet interesting new road of learning how to rig for games/animation:shifty: I know that rigging for games and animation are slightly different, but the theory is all the same.
