What is Rigging?
The process of building the underlying ‘skeleton,’ or a series of related bones, which is used to control the animation of a character model.
The process of weighting the vertices of a 3D model to those bones—the relative weightings of the vertices to each bone will determine how the character deforms.
The process of assigning weight values to vertices for the various bones in a rig—these weights are what will determine how the mesh deforms during animation.
An approach to 3D modeling that starts off with a simple box primitive and builds out a form from that, using extrusion and various other techniques.
A flat surface, the shape of which is defined by vertices and edges—multiple connected polygons make up a 3D model.
What is Skinning?

The pole target overrides the usual constraints of an IK chain.
True
False
When duplicating bones for symmetry, you can leave the bones that run up the middle of the character unselected.
True
False
In Blender, new bones take the shape of which of the following?
Tall pyramids
Trapezoids
Long Triangles
Cylinders
Oval
When enabled, which display option/mode allows you to see bones that are otherwise hidden in the character models’ geometry?
Select one:
Transparency
Opacity
Show Skeleture
X-Ray
Transparent armature mode
Under which heading are the parent-child relationships set to in the Bone Constraints context of the properties window?
Select one:
Relationships heading
Family heading
Group heading
Kinship heading
Armature family heading
To correctly align bones on a model, you must continually switch between front, top and side views as you work.
True
False
To show the names assigned to bones, what should you select in the Object data context in the properties window?
Select one:
Display, and check the box next to Names
Lexicon, and check the box next to Labels
. Categories, and check the box next to Objects
the names assigned to bones are always visible
Which of the following modes are used to create new bones and remove others?
Select one:
Pose mode
Edit mode
Options mode
Paint mode
To ensure you are only creating keyframes for position and rotation data, what should you select in the Active Keying set menus?
Select one:
FreeSpin
PosTurn
LocRot
AxisCon
This Inverse Kinematics setup is common with ..............?
Legs
Arms
Joints
Knees
Elbow
Select that bone, set Pole Target to Armature, Bone to Elbow Target, and remember to set Pole Angle to - (a) degrees, or the arm will be twisted out of place.
