Commercial Artist scope

Hi Kirti,
Rigging is a specialization. Like a real skeleton, a rig is made up of joints and bones, each of which act as a "handle" that animators can use to bend the character into a desired pose.
If you compare it to animation, the number of jobs would be lesser. However, a good rigger would always find a job. A rigger is typically good with logic and numbers. In the recent years India alongwith South Korea, Singapore, Philippines, China and Japan have seen a huge amount of outsourced animation work from across the globe.
Besides movies, animators are required for creating game & in the e-learning industry. Hence the increase in scope of placements.
