+Schools and teachers often differ in opinion on which topics to teach and in which order.

+When we talk about Blender Beginner, many teachers have a different viewpoint and a different understanding of what a Blender Beginner should learn.
+
+This becomes a bit of an issue when students participate in exchange programs and find themselves lacking knowledge because the other school teaches Blender differently.
+
+The goal of the Blender Badges project is to create a reference framework such that everyone can still teach Blender in their own way and be more specific in what they teach so that it becomes clear what is meant when a teacher talks about for example a Blender Beginner course.

+# Blender Rigging Foundation Level 1
+
+Rigging allow the artist to create underlying structures and controls to animate 3d models. Blender offers an impressive set of rigging tools including skeleton and automatic skinning, easy weight painting, constraints, bone layers and colored groups for organization.

+
+- **Using the Graphic Tablet, Brushes, and Remeshing**
+
+   ---
+Sculpting becomes much easier when using a graphic tablet instead of a mouse, so getting familiar with this tool first makes perfect sense.<br>
+Thereafter, learning how to adjust the density of the model's mesh with the Remesh option is the logical next step, since sculpting requires sufficent topology to work on the details.  
+Finally, using and adjusting the main sculpting brushes should not be missing from this introduction.

+- **Using the Graphic Tablet, Brushes, and Remeshing**

+Sculpting becomes much easier when using a graphic tablet instead of a mouse, so getting familiar with this tool first makes perfect sense.<br>
+Thereafter, learning how to adjust the density of the model's mesh with the Remesh option is the logical next step, since sculpting requires sufficent topology to work on the details.  
+Finally, using and adjusting the main sculpting brushes should not be missing from this introduction.

+- **Dynamic Topology and Masking**
+
+   ---
+   While remeshing is a good way to control the scope of the topology in the model, it has its limitations when it comes to adding topology to specific parts of the model.  
+   This is where dynamic topology comes into play, which makes it possible to intuitively extend the model where needed.  
+   This is also where masking becomes more important to temporarily separate the parts that are to be modeled from those that should not be affected.

+   As the creative process progresses, it becomes more important to be able to switch between different levels of detail in the model. This can be achieved with the Multiresolution Modifier which, as its name suggests, allows for switching between different resolutions of the model's mesh.

+Sculpting in Blender allows artists to create detailed 3D models by forming objects in an intuitive and organic way, as if using a digital version of clay. Blender offers various tools for shaping, texturing, and refining models with precision, combining traditional sculpting techniques with digital features like dynamic topology and multi-resolution sculpting. It is often used for modeling organic shapes, although it is perfectly suitable and offers valuable tools for modeling hard surfaces as well.
