Yes, agreeing with everyone else. You can just focus on animating and rigging and neglect the other areas and it would be ok. But it’s generally better if you have an overview understanding of it all and learn the basics of modeling and such.
Think about it like you’re a racecar driver. You can be the best, fastest and most awesome racer and maybe you’ve never seen what’s inside the hood once you pop it open. You have no concept of what an engine is or gasoline, not even that the wheels have air inside. That doesn’t sound like an ideal situation. It’s best if you’re not totally in the dark of what a car is and what’s under the hood. Yeah you don’t know how to fix the engine if it breaks, but you’re not unware of what an engine is either, you’re not totally in the dark when it comes to what makes it move. If you have a basic idea of what a car is and how it works, you might even know a trick or two on how to get it going again.
