Quick Rigging for Scans (animating a little vignette)
Added 2022-08-30 04:31:50 +0000 UTCA few techniques in this video, but the big one is rigging up a photoscanned character. This is something I've been doing a ton lately to quickly add a little life to characters in a scene. It's nice because you don't have to start with a T-pose or anything like that, and letting IK run the show means you don't have to animate a ton of bones.
Here's the chess playing character, if you'd like to try it on your end!

2023-09-14 19:38:48 +0000 UTCworking with DAWs makes me long for that prerecording countdown to be implemented in Blender. It would make live animating so much easier
2022-09-01 20:00:52 +0000 UTCthat auto keyframing trick is genuis! i dont know how thats never occured to me!
2022-09-01 10:25:01 +0000 UTCI think he kinda did that with an after effects compositing breakdown a while back

2022-08-31 19:13:59 +0000 UTCHey Ian! Can you make a video about compositing renders? Thanks...
2022-08-31 17:33:32 +0000 UTCI like this length of video, easier to consume that something which takes 45 min or an hour, and the density of tips is good too. Covering ground you already covered = reinforcement not repetition. :D

2022-08-31 14:07:45 +0000 UTCNice! I didn't know why riggers put those feather bones in before. Good info! I would have had the player look up at the robot before the robot flicks out the knives, just to establish a conversation, but as you say, it's rough and ready.

2022-08-30 20:45:40 +0000 UTCSo cool! Thank you Ian. I have a nube question about you’re green screen set ups. What your formula for lighting can you suggest lighting units?

2022-08-30 20:42:40 +0000 UTCI'm extremely interested in seeing more behind the scenes stuff involving ON-SET footage and just generally see more of the actual FILMING side of things as well. I know it's hard to avoid spoilers so perhaps those can only be released once the episode is also out, but that's something I'd love to have more insight on in terms of the way you do things ^_^

Don't set the bar to high for your patreon video's ian! people are happy with anything you throw at them. Would love to see more videos on here even if its at the cost of quality. love <3
