What is an internship rigging artist?

Internship Rigging Artists are entry-level artists, often students or recent graduates, who assist in creating and maintaining the digital skeletons and control systems (rigs) for 3D models used in animation, film, and video games. During their internship, they work under the supervision of experienced rigging artists to learn industry-standard tools and workflows, such as using Autodesk Maya or Blender. Their responsibilities may include building basic rigs, troubleshooting deformation issues, and collaborating with animators and modelers to ensure that characters and objects move realistically. This position is designed to provide hands-on experience and prepare individuals for a professional rigging role in the entertainment industry.
