What you will learn
In this CINEMA 4D tutorial, we will learn how to rig a wing in CINEMA 4D. We will first cover some things to consider when constructing the control rig. From there, we will set up the wing, step by step, making sure the system we build will be sufficient to the needs of an animator. We’ll also learn about several really neat rigging features in CINEMA 4D along the way; features that can be used on any control rig you create.
