Lynda Tutorial

I found a couple of tutorials that were very interesting and informative, The first one I found was called Character Rigging in Maya and that helped because I found that one around the time I was working on my Lowman. This tutorial showed how to first make a rigging using skeletons and joints. than it shows how to move the character using inverse kinematics and then forward kinematics. It also talks about the constraints that you should put on your character so that your character can maintain natural movement. It explains on how to put a skin on your character and how to bing the skin to the rig and make it interactive with the rig.
