Introducing, the new Rigify course from CGDive: *Modular Face Rigging with Rigify*
Have you ever wanted to go beyond the pre-built face rig in Rigify (which is nice but also has many flaws)?
Then you need to learn the modular Rigify face system which was added in Blender 3.0.
Unfortunately, learning resources about it are almost non-existent.
The official Manual... is a train-wreck. To whoever wrote it, I am sorry but it is. :/
So, if you want to learn how to use it, this new course is the way to go!

*VIDEO DESCRIPTION*
I am happy to announce that one of my advanced Rigify courses will be released on YouTube for FREE. The release will be gradual: the 20 or so chapters will be released once per week. The full release will take place from May 2024 until around October 2024.
In the course Rigging a Two-headed Ogre with Rigify, you will learn advanced rigging and Rigify techniques. You will get to know how to extend, modify and customize your Rigify rigs so that you are no longer limited to using the default metarigs. Techniques covered in this course include weight painting, adding custom bones to Rigify, automating bones, rigging clothing and props, rigging armor, face rigging... and more! :)

*VIDEO DESCRIPTION*
This is Chapter 3 in the new and updated *Rigify Fundamentals* series for Blender 4.0 and beyond.
In this part we will learn the basics of using Rigify using the Basic Human Meta-Rig. This is an important first step towards rigging more complex characters such as a full human with fingers and a face (which we will do in the next video).
Take this chapter seriously as it lays the foundations for future lessons!
