5 3D World and Transformation
To fully understand rig mechanics and the reasons behind their behaviors, it is necessary to grasp the principles governing the 3D space in which they operate. A thorough understanding of these rules and principles is crucial as much of rigging involves manipulating these rules to achieve a specific behavior.
World Space
Imagine an empty, dark void on the screen. To create a 3D world within it, we need to define three axes for objects to move in: the X-axis for left and right, the Y-axis for front and back, and the Z-axis for up and down. Blender displays these axes in red, green, and blue, respectively, and they intersect at a point called the world origin or world zero.
