-−
-The skeleton rig can be a complex structure and is usually recreated to fit the unique requirements of each job. It is usually created by a [[:Category:TechnicalArt|Technical Artist]] or an Animator.
-−
-Skinning has also been used to refer to painting a color map texture for a 3D mesh, but this term is deprecated and hasn't really survived past the Quake 3 era.
