Bouncy Rigs in Blender

Add extra personality and animation to every character you make with bouncy elements in your rigs!

This course teaches you to integrate bouncy, secondary motion into your rigs. This technique can be applied to any character element—such as hairstyles, tails, whiskers, or antennae—to inject natural, appealing physics into your animations.

By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to build custom rigs that move beyond basic movement and truly capture attention.
