Mechanical Rigging in Blender: Battle Mech

MECHANICAL RIGGING IN BLENDER: THE ESSENTIAL MINI-COURSE

If you’ve ever tried rigging a mechanical model in Blender, you know the pain:

• hard-surface meshes that bend instead of staying solid
• joints that twist the wrong way
• Pistons that break or stretch
• And a rig that looks simple but becomes a mess once you animate it

Don’t spend weeks trying "to reinvent the piston" :) . Spend just 75 minutes with this course, and you’ll never rig mechanical joints the old way again.

Who This Course Is For

Blender users who understand rigging basics, but want to rig mechanical models properly.

What to expect

This is not a 10-hour, theoretical course bloated with filler. Instead, it is a compact workflow you can start using today. You get a laser-focused workflow that’s practical, fast and applicable to your own models.

You’ll follow along with a real mechanical model and learn not just what buttons to press but why each step is important.

Here is what you'll learn in just 5 lessons.

PART 1

Preparing Mechanical Models for Rigging: Learn how to split, organize, and orient mechanical meshes so rigging is simple and predictable.
