------------------------------------------
Most of what's part of the qualifications for this job have been covered in CRI to a certain extent. From this list, CRI has taught me how to skin character models, create rigging tools, and what topology is needed for certain rigs. Also, CRI introduced me to coding, MEL, and Python. The structure of the class has also taught me how to be self-motivated and how to troubleshoot issues with my rigs. For this job, it seems that I would have to learn more about coding and how production pipelines work. These qualifications seem to be in line with most job listings for rigging, besides the fact that some companies require experience with 3ds Max. Overall, CRI has prepared me greatly to gain more experience in rigging and to be fully qualified for a job like this.
