Tutorialish: Quick Christmas Fake-O Stop-O-Rama

This is so rad, thx a mil IH. Glad I've discovered your content. <3

Mikey Smith

I love you

minju kim

It's like a kilt! But a jacket. Awesome

Missed opportunity to say "Sometimes the best stuff happens on the fringe of 'Cringe' ! :D

lovely, next year please add some snowflakes, thumbs up

Walt

skies were only green when they went to see the abominable snowman.

I like the idea of puppeteering 3D animations, as someone pointed out Captain Pugwash style is my goal. Still haven't figure out how to do that but this gives me some food for thought.

Phil South

The Rankin Bass animations were/are big in the UK too! Love this.

Phil South

I think you TOTALLY can! I've never played with it, but at the very least I know there's ways to turn MIDI into animations (kinda Animusic style :D)

Ian Hubert

I wonder if you can use an audio visualiser as a driver to animate parts, captain pogwash style. In theory if you had all the separate tracks to a song you could automate instruments too.

Lewis Turner

Watching the joy in Ian's face was all I needed.

This was rad. Happy Holidays! I became a patron in 2020 so it wasn't all bad!

Tyler Adams

Quickly made a version and added some falling snow with a particle system! Took some work rendering (blender crashed every time, even though I've got an RTX 3080 etc, no idea why) but I got it eventually. Thanks for the tutorial! https://youtu.be/h8aEaCmABec

The frame dropping audio sync setting is very useful when animating with audio. I have to use it for most of my stuff that's mildly complicated due to my crappy pc. However you have to be careful trying to mess with unbaked simulations in that mode, since it will try to simulate per frame and skip a big load of them to try keep up the timing. Or at least that's what i have found. Also, merry Christmas!

Knut Steffenrem

Ahhhh that's totally my bad I'm sorry- it's the one thing I forgot to show in the video and I was hoping it wouldn't be an issue- you have to bake it, under the dynamic paints cache settings :)

Ian Hubert

Ahahaha Paul!!! That's awesome!! I love it

Ian Hubert

Merry Christmas Ian And thank you for a great heap of quality Patreon content

Yes! So much fun animating this way! Made my own version, which is basically just your assets to a different song. https://youtu.be/z5b_GzBPycA

Paul and Anna Spooner

Cheers for this and all the cool assets and tutorials throughout the year. Very inspiring stuff! A good Christmas and New Year to you and all the Patreon gang too. 🤘🤖🤘

Mike Hay

For some reason I can't get dynamic paint to render and it's killing me

Super Dope! Also never noticed the green sky in the original.

Chris Ak

Love this ! :) thanks for all the great inspiration :)

Jourdan Biziou

This song has been surgically placed into my brain last night, I woke up this morning and I can still hear Ian kickin around in there

Thanks Ian! This was JUST the thing I needed. Have yourself a merry one. &lt;3

RascoJr

I think it looks great! looks like the start of a journey for a snowman to find a special thing

RascoJr

I made my version of the snowman according to the lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZtj2ZM_Qr8&amp;feature=youtu.be I've never done animation before. Thank you for the lesson. It's very fun! This scarf doesn't look realistic, the wind doesn't work properly with it. What have I done wrong?

Wonderful! Reminds me of 'Trumpton' a kids animation from 70's TV in the UK (showing my age now).

Doug Brown

Thanks Ian for this wonderful Christmas present/tutorial. (edit: I can't get this song out of my head ;-) )

Amazing, thank you and Merry Christmas Ian!

Sergio

This was truly amazing! But no surprise that it was, coming from you! :) Learned a lot, and got very inspired, as always! God Jul! (&lt;--- Norwegian for you know what) ;-)

I learned a bunch man, thanks.

Ian has super powers. I believe it. Created a cg animated music video in under an hour.

Nathan Vegdahl

this is very cool! Merry Christmas! I was waiting for the falling snow)))

this was very inspiring, thank you and Murrrrrrrray Christmas!

Ian has blessed my Christmas

would love to see more random one offs like this, learned a lot

Stewart Bird

This is so great!

Mark Miller

i love how you modeled and animated a full digital short in under an hour. that's pure insanity. and i really do love the real-time digital puppeteering approach. i worked for the Jim Henson company years ago, right when they were pioneering the digital puppeteering system. super cool stuff.

Thank you for this!!!!!!&lt;3&lt;3&lt;3&lt;3

"Sometimes the best stuff happens on the edge of cringe" is now my favorite quote and I will be using it frequently, thank you Ian

Evan Barron

Yep. That made this holiday season a lot merrier! AMAZING!

Fes

My introduction to Burl Ives was through Better Call Saul and the 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' song. I love it! What a wonderful voice. Great video Ian!

Aman Bhargava

Worthikids on Youtube has been on a stop-motion kick lately and (I just double-checked) also uses Blender to accomplish it. Really impressive stuff and has a very Rankin-Bass feel to it. Worth checking out.

Literally sitting around my house thinking "I want to watch some Ian Hubert, hope he'll upload sometime" and see this blessing
