The first thing I want to mention is how to set the correct rotation order. Unfortunately this was something that I didn't understand until fairly recently, but now I know I wish to document it for future reference. So here we go...
Rotation order - The order in which the rotation axis will be documented.
The last axis in the rotation order will carry all the others with it.
For example - XYZ
The rotation of the Z axis will carry the X and Y axis with it.
The rotation of the Y axis will carry the X axis with it, but will have no effect on the Z axis.
The X axis will have no effect on anything but itself.
The important axis - the one that affects everything else - goes at the end.
The least important - the one that affects only itself - goes at the beginning.
The best way to work out which rotation order to use is to experiment. Try it out to discover which one will work best.

- I initially trained at the Arts Institute at Bournemouth with a BA (hons) in Film and Animation Production, and then went on to complete a Masters by Project in Computer Animation. Currently I am a Data Operater/RenderWrangler at a visual effects company, but with a dream of becoming a rigger one day. I've been working through rigging and scripting tutorials but have become overwhelmed with the amount of learning tutorials out there and was unsure of the best way to present my rigging discoveries. I decided a blog would be the best way forward.
