More information

A 2D Rigger builds digital skeletons for characters or objects in animation, enabling realistic movement in 2D media like films, games, and commercials. You’ll use rigging software to create flexible, functional rigs that animators can manipulate for fluid motion. Key tasks include developing control systems, adjusting rig parameters, and ensuring rigs meet project needs.

As a 2D Rigger, you’ll need strong technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and attention to detail. Collaboration with animators and designers is crucial to produce high-quality, dynamic animations.
