Rich HurreyWelcome to the 501 Rigging Master class and thank you for your purchase. modo, well known for its modeling, shading and rendering prowess, has also created a suite of powerful rigging tools. This effort which began in modo 401 has been expanded and refined in 501 to offer a wide array of rigging enhancements.

This Master Course is designed to introduce beginning users to the rigging process in modo and help them with some rigging fundamentals along the way. More experienced riggers will also find this instruction useful in helping them translate their current knowledge and workflows into modo's way of thinking.

While the series is targeting rigging beginners, it is assumed that viewers have a basic knowledge of modo and can easily navigate their way through the modo UI. Users not familiar with modo are highly encouraged to read through the modo interface section in the documentation to build this foundation.

"Hey guys, I hope you find this course enlightening. My goal was to build a series of rigging exercises that build in complexity and support them with in-depth descriptions of all the tools and techniques required to create them. You should discover the power of modo's rigging tools along the way and I hope take this knowledge Top Gun style to the rest of the modo community. It is my sincere hope, when armed with this knowledge, that together we can build a strong and viable modo rigging community. So lets get started… have fun!" ---Rich Hurrey
