In this follow up Citizen video to “Rigging a Spiral Phone Cord” I’m going to show you how a dynamic rig can make animation simple and realistic. Though a physics-based rig isn’t the best answer for all situations, it can certainly be a tremendous time saver and easier road to realism. Wouldn’t it be nice to only worry about animating the base and receiver while the cord animates itself? That’s the power of computer graphics simulation that we will be tapping into in this video!
