Rigging
In the video above, you can see my rig breakdown. The ship model was rigged to include features such as moving sails and flags, rotating wheel and rudder combo, opening windows and doors, cannons with wheels that automatically roll when main control is moved, and a root control for translating, rotating, or scaling the ship.
