Rigging Intro

Summary

This introductory video sets the stage for the Rigging section of the Rive 101 series. It outlines the three primary pillars of rigging: Bones, Joysticks, and Constraints, which together allow designers to create complex, interactive, and efficient character rigs and UI components.

Step by Step

1. 00:06
   Rigging Tools Overview

   Introduction to the fundamental tools used to build a structure for your graphics.
2. 00:10
   Bones

   Learn how to use skeletal structures to drive vector paths and shapes.
3. 00:20
   Joysticks

   A look at using 2D controls to manipulate multiple properties and complex movements simultaneously.
4. 00:24
   Constraints

   An in-depth preview of how constraints (like translation, rotation, and distance) automate motion logic.

Notes About Current Rive

• Rigging Logic: Rigging is the process of creating a "skeleton" or control system for your artwork so that it can be animated more intuitively.
• Learning Path: The section is structured to progress from fundamental skeletal structures (Bones) to advanced control interfaces (Joysticks) and logical automation (Constraints).
• Interactive Focus: These tools are optimized for performance, ensuring that even complex rigs run smoothly in real-time environments.
