I have spent several years learning different kinds of software while freelancing personal and commercial projects.

A short but useful course for complete beginners in rigging. The author is very pleasant and nice speaking, nothing in a hurry.

It's really simple to follow. It has resources for every step -just in case you want to review something quick or to not see the content that you aren't intesered in- and it's short and concise, something I was looking for.

Really good to begin working with the puppet tool.
