The technical art of rigging for animation entails construction of puppetry armature to enable expressive movement and character performance. Fundamental rigging concepts are transferable between methods of animation, whether 3D computer animation, 2D animation, stop-motion or cut-out animation. The rigging system creates an articulable skeletal structure, enabling poseable controls to achieve effective movement and performance requirements for animation. This list highlights a few available resources for rigging in 3D computer animation. While this list includes some introductory resources, it is primarily intended for artists and technical directors with a moderate technical background.

This list is built to help those wanting to learn methods for programming simulation algorithms, leading into jobs or research areas making physical simulation tools.

Many CG effects are created with the help of physically-based simulation programs. There are several simulation methods, depending on the type of effect desired. For example, fluid simulations and cloth simulations are important ones in Computer Graphics and good places to start for understanding how simulation algorithms and approaches work. A knowledge of how to program these types of simulations provides a foundational understanding of how simulations work, allowing a student to adapt existing simulation tools or research deeper into improving simulation methods.
