Free Rigs!!!




When I started learning in animation, we used to look around for animation shorts and clips to get an Idea about the industry. Our Mentor Ben McEvoy told us about a few websites like 10 second club (which is now 11 second club), Animation Meat, Animation Louge etc. From where I came to know about Animation Mentor, an online animation school which is founded by 3 animators working at pixar:Bobby Beck, Carlos Baena and Shawn Kelly. The website (10 sec. club) had a lot of stuff done by animation mentor students. At that time there was mostly Bishop rig used for animation and I still remember I asked this question in this forum saying Q: "Where I can find this rig"?? with a picture of Bishop rig I edited from one of the videos. The answer I received from one of the animator's was "Its really simple, Join Animation Mentor and you'll get this rig :P "
At that time generic rig (mostly known as Blue Guy) was one of the famous rigs available. But now things have changed. Now we have a lot of guys coming up with animator friendly rigs which are avilable for free!!!

here are few rigs which are FREE!!!! yes Royalty free ready to use

Norman was another Bishop kind of copyrighted rig used by AAU (Academy of Art University) especially for Pixar classes but now Its also available for freee!!
