The the model is filled with details from face expressions to wearing clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rigging and Animation:<\/strong> Rigging is a process of attaching a skeleton to the model so animators can manipulate and pose the character. To bring characters to life, Pixar\u2019s animators rely on a mixture of keyframe animation (which is how it has always been done) and procedural tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Texturing and Shading:<\/strong> Textures and shaders are added that make the character model realistic skin, hair, and clothing.
