Jordan Coles to Teach Rigging at Escape Studios

Jordan Coles
Escape Studios is delighted to welcome back Escapee Jordan Coles to teach rigging at Escape Studios in January.

Jordan will be teaching our second year animation students the art of rigging on Tuesday January 10 and Thursday January 12th, giving our students an introduction to rigging, as part of Specialism Module CR5001.  

Jordan Coles has been working as a rigger at MPC in London.  MPC is one of the UK's leading animation and VFX houses, responsible for hits such as the 2019 remake of The Lion King and The Jungle Book.

Rigging
Rigging is the art of creating a skeletal structure for a 3D model, permitting the model to be animated like a 3D puppet. Rigging is vital for our 3rd year animation and VFX students as they embark on the VFX Project, where students join forces to create a VFX short film, many of which have gone on to win awards at international festivals.

  1. This post is really nice and informative. 3D animation involves creating moving images in three-dimensional space using computer graphics. It encompasses the modeling, texturing, rigging, animating, and rendering of objects and characters within a virtual environment. 3D animations are widely used in industries such as film, television, gaming, architecture, and advertising to visualize concepts, tell stories, and entertain audiences. They offer a level of realism and immersion that is unmatched by traditional 2D animation, enriching visual experiences across various media platforms.
