Making a Flying Vehicle pt. 1 - Design/Blocking
Added 2021-02-20 01:53:38 +0000 UTCContinued in Pt. 2
First part of a short series (no idea how many parts it'll be- probably just 2??) working through making a flying vehicle, heavily implementing "Wiggle Bones", which are ridiculously fun.
Sort of making this up as I go, so we'll see how it turns out!

Probably self explanatory, but I don't get into it in this video; if you're going to make practical use of the wiggle bones, you'll probably have to bake them before rendering or anything like that :)
Oh and here's Kirill Udodov's artstation, because it's just crazy cool.
Comments
Looking back at this, I can't help but wonder if wiggle bones would be useful for your crowd sims, Ian. Little people that lean when they walk uphill, for instance.
2021-09-06 08:20:31 +0000 UTCDoes baking the wigs work on versions after 2.8?

2021-05-10 03:34:50 +0000 UTCawesome!!

2021-03-18 00:39:34 +0000 UTCsame!

2021-02-23 23:20:26 +0000 UTCwe'll figure something out....
Anderson Atlas
2021-02-23 22:13:37 +0000 UTCHave you tried Jan van den Hemel's approach? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwTuGg-Ua1g
GI Jungles
2021-02-23 05:31:07 +0000 UTCIt could be done with a cloth sim, and hooking each end to an empty parented to each part you want to hang from, but that’s way more computationally expensive than this method.

2021-02-23 00:54:10 +0000 UTCFor the ropes, on Valve Engine, they had physic ropes... Perhaps it could be done all with physic constraints...

2021-02-22 18:41:29 +0000 UTCAs a newcomer here, I salute you for doing what you're doing. You are a great inspiration. Also, this is the best 7 dollars I've ever spent. Thanks, daddy Ian.

2021-02-22 17:32:46 +0000 UTCId be curious to know how you created the sky/fog in your image shown at 3:06, and how you managed to blend It with the clouds so well (is this digitally painted or actually made in Blender?)
John Gergen
2021-02-22 06:11:14 +0000 UTCThis is awesome!
Kai Christensen
2021-02-22 02:01:10 +0000 UTCespecially considering how much cyberpunk 2077 references absolutely every sci-fi property, i think its totally fine to have tech overlap with that universe. the way sci-fi references itself is so collaborative anyway.

2021-02-21 02:17:35 +0000 UTCSO useful!! Nathan Vegdahl showed it to me a while back. Useful all over the place but especially with rigging.
Ian Hubert
2021-02-20 22:03:09 +0000 UTCThis looks really promising, can't wait to see what you do with it in part 2. I like seeing how you "make a thing" ;)
Shawn Hawkinson
2021-02-20 21:57:57 +0000 UTCHave you checked out cableator? it's does what you want. you attach a cable to an obj with just to clicks. I love it. it is a paid addon though. https://blendermarket.com/products/cbl
Lara StarSlayer
2021-02-20 18:32:34 +0000 UTCthat alt-click trick is gold
CGMatter
2021-02-20 15:57:08 +0000 UTCI'm wondering if something like this may help with the cables.....
Walter Pfohl
2021-02-20 13:51:07 +0000 UTCRuddy marvellous... as usual. You're like the guy from Beautiful Mind trying to work out an impossible puzzle in game theory or something - Look forward to the next one. I love the modelling parts of your tuts... and then... THEY LIVE!!!! Thanks Ian.
Doug Brown
2021-02-20 11:03:23 +0000 UTCThe part when you show the reference photos and talk about the way you will implement them in the design is very valuable. Cant wait to see it textured!!
Luka Hrgovic
2021-02-20 10:34:28 +0000 UTCYesss It's true!! I was going to finish this series with putting the vehicle in a final shot, so I was going to go through the process then, but yeah this probably would have been the best video to cover that in.
Ian Hubert
2021-02-20 09:04:12 +0000 UTCGreat tutorial Ian, would be good to cover off rendering those wiggle bones, baking etc, otherwise you get some proper random shizzle.
Sam Morgan
2021-02-20 08:25:24 +0000 UTCYou are so damn amazing. That is a beaaautiful blumermphly!!!
Alex Ezorsky
2021-02-20 04:55:12 +0000 UTCIt's SO good!!! Adds so much naturalism so easily!! I'm stoked to check out the mesh tension addon!
Ian Hubert
2021-02-20 04:06:35 +0000 UTCOMG! My buddy Steve made that wiggle bone Add-on! It's so cool to see the amazing Ian Hubert using his script! If you haven't yet, check out his mesh tension addon. https://blenderartists.org/t/revised-mesh-tension-add-on/1239091
Richanatario
2021-02-20 03:55:46 +0000 UTCAh thanks! That's true!! And I should definitely implement that more! I always assumed you couldn't texture it well, but I just realized I don't really have a reason to assume that??
Ian Hubert
2021-02-20 03:42:33 +0000 UTCSoooooooooooooooooooooo, what you can do it a vertex chain with no faces, and add a cloth sim and a skin modifier. BAM instant cables. (add hooks for your connection points).
Felicia White
2021-02-20 03:20:25 +0000 UTCSo cool!!! Looking forward to the next part Ian! I always come away from your videos ready to make stuff! Cheers. :D
Peter Arata
2021-02-20 03:12:18 +0000 UTCI'll try to cover that in the next video, with the modeling and texturing and all that! :D
Ian Hubert
2021-02-20 02:57:02 +0000 UTCGod tier.
Ian
2021-02-20 02:55:27 +0000 UTCHow do you get so good a greebles?
Ninja Nolan
2021-02-20 02:34:50 +0000 UTCHi Ian, first time poster here. I just wanted to say thanks for all the great tutorials and the content you make! Your lazy tutorial series was one of the main reasons I decided to start learning Blender :) Hope you have a great day!
[yawn.]
2021-02-20 02:12:25 +0000 UTCGotta say, I'll never not smile when I hear "wiggle bones" mentioned :D Thanks Ian, gonna check this out!
