Control rig

A control rig is a digital system used in 3D animation to make characters move naturally. It functions like a virtual skeleton with controls that an animator manipulates, such as handles or sliders. These controls allow animators to easily pose and animate characters without having to directly edit complex underlying data. Essentially, a control rig simplifies the process of bringing digital characters to life by providing an intuitive interface to adjust movements, ensuring realistic and consistent motion during production.
