I think that's simply because rigging is HARD. Unless you're doing something super simple, you can't just drop in a skeleton. Each bone has to know exactly what it's affecting and how, or else the limbs will skew oddly when you try to move them.

It's the most dreaded part of my animation course. My teacher has showed me the basics so many times but I haven't gotten far enough to ever feel like I've gotten the hang of it.

And my team is also going slow. I'm mentoring a team and this is their first year on the animation. We just got their old computers updated enough to install 3d this week, so we're going to race to get something put together on time.
