New Free Course: Rigging Isn’t Scary – Learn Blender Rigging in 2025

If you’ve ever felt like rigging in Blender is confusing or intimidating, you’re not alone. That’s why I created “Rigging Isn’t Scary”. It’s a brand-new, beginner-friendly rigging course. I’m releasing it completely free on YouTube.

This isn’t just a quick tutorial series. Rigging Isn’t Scary is a proper, structured course designed to take you from absolute beginner to confident intermediate. All recorded in Blender 4 series, so everything is up to date with the latest UI and features.

:wrench: What You’ll Learn

The course is split into three levels, making it easy to follow no matter how much time you have:

  • Level 1: Just 5 short lessons covering the rigging fundamentals. Perfect for getting started.

  • Level 2: Dive deeper into rigging fundamentals and build simple yet practical rigging mechanisms

  • Level 3: based on everything you learn in Levels 2 and 3, we can now do some serious rigging without it feeling overwhelming. Our rig will feature many classic rig mechanisms like IK-FK switching, advanced twisting, spine rig, drivers, shapekeys, etc. all built from scratch.

My hope is that this course clears up the confusion and makes rigging feel approachable.
The course is not focused on any specific area such as rigging for games/movies/anime/etc. Instead, it covers the foundations that you’ll need regardless of your preferred style.

:date: Release Schedule

  • Level 1 is fully released.
  • Level 2 is rolling out now with new videos daily.
  • Level 3 starts right after.
