This 19-minute tutorial from CGDive's "Rigging isn't Scary, Level 2" series introduces rig mechanisms in Blender, focusing on creating "twist" bones to correct deformations in wrist and shoulder areas. Learn how to implement simple yet effective mechanisms through a step-by-step process covering wrist twist bones, constraint simplification, proper setup techniques, weight painting, volume preservation, shoulder twist bones, and symmetrizing the created bones. The video breaks down complex rigging concepts into manageable segments, making advanced character deformation accessible even to intermediate Blender users. Part of a comprehensive rigging course with timestamps allowing easy navigation through each section from mechanisms introduction to final implementation.
