What is a 2d rigging artist?

2D Rigging Artists are professionals who create digital skeletons and movement controls for 2D characters and objects in animation or video games. Their work enables animators to move characters smoothly and efficiently by defining how different parts of the character bend, stretch, and interact. They use specialized software to build rigs, ensuring that the animation process is both flexible and realistic. 2D Rigging Artists collaborate closely with animators, character designers, and technical directors to achieve expressive and dynamic movement.
