Character Animation and Rigging

-
Firstly, to ease into the process I am going to model a 2D cut out set object and place it into Unity using the mapping tutorial (as Below)

I am then going to rig a character,  for which I have designed cut-out effect material maps and then export that to Unity.

✔️ Edit PNG’s to square dimensions as this will be the standard format for Maya.
✔️ Create a flat square plane
✔️ Import PNG to Plane
✔️ Cut up plane into puppet components.

✔️ Start Rigging (if Modelling a puppet)
