Rigging Made Easy! Book



"David's tutorials saved me from failing my rigging classes. I felt my school was disconnected from students and my teacher was a bit boring. No one in class had any idea what he was talking about. As soon as I found Animation Methods it was an eye opener at how easily it could've been taught! He's also funny which makes it fun! I can finally say I can rig and animate my models!"





Sandra Beckler



about - David Rodriguez





Animation Methods was created after realizing quite a few entry-level animators out of schools don't feel equipped with a method for animating. This industry is competitive and not many know how to stand out or produce quality. Not because they can't, but because they're not shown in school a method to use and take on complex animation scenes.


This age of online learning makes it easy for anyone to learn animation. I want to help those who are serious about becoming artists and be able to land their dream job as a confident animator.


I invite you to watch my animation demo.


My work includes: Uncharted 4 - The Lost Legacy, Injustice II, Mafia III, NBA2K15/16, Star Wars Kinect, World War Z, Star Wars - Unleash The Force II and many other popular films/games and apps. I'm currently Senior Animator at a up and coming VR studio. - 2018
