A rigger or slinger is a skilled tradesperson who specializes in the assistance of manual mechanical advantage device comprising pulley, block and tackle or motorised such as a crane or derrick or chain hoists (chain fall) or capstan winch.
The term comes from the days of sailing ships, when a rigger was a person who worked with rigging, that is, ropes for hoisting the sails. Sailors could put their rope skills to work in lifting and hauling. In an era before mechanical haulage and cranes, ropes, pulleys and muscle power were all that was available to move heavy objects. A specialized subset are telecommunication riggers, entertainment industry riggers. In time, rigging became a trade in itself, giving rise to modern usages with some original terminology remaining, with its roots all but forgotten.
Riggers attach loads of equipment to cranes or structures using shackles, cables, chains, clamps or straps, employing pulleys, winches, lifts or chain hoists (aka chain motors). Quick load calculations are necessary for each load and engineering principles are always in play. Riggers use various suspension techniques to get their load around obstacles on a construction site or loading dock or event site to the desired location and height.[1]
I will show you my exact sketching process in ink and watercolour. I have travelled around the world in the last 3 years and this is my go-to system of creating beautiful yet quirky illustrations to capture the magic of my discoveries.
We will work through 3 projects, step by step (pictured below), all of which are real-life examples of things I have sketched along my travels. I provide the photo references you can work from.
We will start by choosing a composition, laying in the initial pencil sketch, adding ink lines, layering watercolour and adding the final touches.

The best advice is to use a rigger brush with mixed hair: some natural, some synthetic. This means the brush will retain more paint than a 100% synthetic brush but will keep its shape and wear a little slower than a brush made from 100% natural hair.
There are a number of rigger brushes available on Amazon, however, I do love an in-person perusal of art supplies at a physical art supply store. I know this is not always an option, especially for those of us in more rural areas. You can check out the range of rigger brushes on Jacksons Art, they are based in the UK but have very reasonable international shipping rates.
Rigger brushes are excellent for painting long fine lines such as the rigging of a ship, but also tree branches, flower stamens, building railings, intricate patterns, grass or any other fine details. There is definitely a knack to using a rigger brush though. Read the tips below and with a little bit of practice and it will become second nature.
Most recently I have found my rigger brush super useful in the 3030 direct watercolor challenge Marc Taro Holmes hosts each year during June. The idea is to do a daily painting directly in watercolor, no pencil sketch or pen lines to follow. The rigger brush has proved so useful to paint in fine dark lines to add defined edges to shapes where needed. I have also used it to paint textures on rocks, wooden huts, foliage and water ripples.
I have found I am most successful when my watercolour paint is at a quite opaque consistency, i.e. not much water has been added to the paint. This means my line is strong and defined which is great if you need to create a dark line under a roof for example as a shadow.
Another thing I realised is that in order to use the rigger brush effectively, how you hold or grip the brush really affects the line quality. I was gripping the brush so tight right at the ferrule (metal bit) just like a pencil and was not getting the fine flowing line I needed. I was so tightly wound about controlling the long brush hairs and getting them to behave how I wanted! I somehow became conscious of what I was doing, loosened my grip and held the brush slightly further down the handle, just slightly further back from where the ferrule meets the brush handle. By loosening up I allowed the brush to do its work and create a nice flowing line.
Just as with any brush, the amount of pressure you use affects the quality of your line. This is even more so with a rigger brush. Using light pressure with just the very tip of the brush can produce delicate lines, however, if you apply more pressure and more of the length of the brush you will produce broader lines.

I will remove access if it starts getting abused, I've kept a pretty close circle of people that have had access to it and it's great for looking up a previous rigger to get in contact with them. If it starts getting abused for anything more than making contact with the rigger one on one to discuss work, I WILL remove it from public access.
Well, looks like the FAA figured out the need for this (hopefully not because I annoyed them asking for the data to keep my database updated) so they've added the rigger seal lookup to their airmen inquiry page.
Hello everyone, I have been trying for the past week to upload a character created with Human Generator in Blender. I exported the character into a wavefront format (.obj). When I enter Mixamo and click on upload, I upload the .obj file but all I can see in grey and no character. I have tried googling for an answer or a workaround and nothing has helped. Why won't my character load properly please and how do I fix it so it doesn't happen again? I am using Blender 2.92 and 2.93 with the same results. Thanks
Hello and thanks for your reply. Here is a screenshot of what I am trying to explain. Here is my workflow as well. In Blender 2.92, I create a character with the HumanGen addon. I then export it into a wavefront file, and select selection only, and change the path mode to copy then export it. I then save the resulting files into a folder, zip that folder and drag it into Mixamo. Agter about a minute of processing, I get this result:
Still having this issue neither firefox nor chrome will load the model into the auto-rigger. Has anyone else come accross this/know what's up? I've spent two days just trying to get the auto-rigger to accept my FBX export from Daz and C4D and I finally get it to work only to slam into yet another issue.
Yeah nothing works. I've tried direct from daz, from c4d, from blender, all the browsers, tried removing bones. I've given up. It would help to know what fbx settings and what mixamo will accept in detail. There's just no info except long threads all over the internet that go nowhere for me :/. Am now trying to just download the mocap data and retarget using a blender add on.
I will keep this in mind thank you. I really think the issue is Daz specifically. Some of their models are apparently a no go for mixamo and I've had varying success. The upshot of this is that it's pushed me to just learn modeling my own characters. My tests so far have been successful so it's obviously a Daz problem unfortunately.
I am having similar problems. The right side stays blank whether I am uploading or just trying to see the animation by clicking on it. I checked Chrome and followed the steps to enable WebGL and same result. Tried in Explorer and same result. When I tried to upload, the right screen spun around for 2 days. Instead of being a learning experience, it is more like World War 3 over this which is very frustrating and patience is starting to wear very thin. Can someone tell me what is going on?
The first season of my skydiving career I watched a friend die due to a rigger error on his reserve. I realized at that time that I did not know what I was looking at when I looked at his gear. I did not understand what had gone wrong.
I decided I had to either quit skydiving or learn about parachute equipment. So, I took a rigging course. After the rigging course I decided to keep skydiving but I felt uncomfortable packing a reserve without direct supervision, because what happened to my friend.
I currently work pretty much exclusively at my home DZ of Skydive Oregon. But I do have a loft in my house in Washington where I take care of many different pilot rigs and sport rigs for the local aviation community.
To be an FAA certified rigger you must be 18 years old. Speak read and understand English. Have packed 20 reserves under the supervision of a certified rigger. And be able to do patches and repairs. This is for Senior Rigger.
A Master Rigger needs 100 parachute pack jobs of two different types (seat, back, chest or lap). A Master Rigger has privileges including making major repairs and alterations to parachute equipment he/she is rated for.
Foam-filled puffy sleeves for slow fall rate; Tony Suits now offers a similar option. I helped designed a simple bridged leverage tool for closing reserves, which makes pin access much easier. I designed a lead weight pouch (rather than a belt) which attaches to the harness, rather than the waist.
Many years ago I was packing a very tight reserve. When I tried to put my temporary pin through the loop on the second to the last flap, I poked the loop with the temp pin and damaged the loop. The loop broke while I was pushing on the pin. The pilot chute spring jumped and hit me in the face, and I jammed the temp pin under my thumb nail. It hurt like hell and and elicited from me some colorful vocabulary not appropriate for publication!
