Abstract: A method of generating an animation rig for a three-dimensional (3-D) computing environment may include providing a rig generation environment that includes a library storing a plurality of blocks. Each of the plurality of blocks may represent particular rig elements and include information for generating the rig elements in the 3-D computing environment along with a first icon that is visually representative of the particular rig elements. The method may also include receiving and displaying two or more blocks in the rig generation environment, and receiving one or more graphical connections between the blocks. The method may additionally include generating the animation rig using the information of each of the two or more blocks and sending the animation rig from the rig generation environment to the 3-D computing environment.

Abstract: A method of generating an animation rig for a 3-D computing environment may include accessing a plurality of blocks, each representing a particular rig element, and including interfaces that govern interactions with other rig elements and information for generating a portion of the animation rig corresponding to the particular rig element represented by the block. The method may also include receiving a selection of a first block that includes a first interface and first information and represents a first rig element, and receiving a selection of a second block that includes a second interface and second information and represents a second rig element. The method may additionally include receiving an instruction to connect the first interface to the second interface, generating the animation rig using the first information and the second information, and providing the animation rig to the 3-D computing environment.
