This is one of those little tricks that goes a really long way. Took me a while to figure this one out, but it really comes in handy when rigging - Hope it helps :)

Looks like we got a lot on our plate this month lol. Gonna be cutting it pretty close, but I'm feeling pretty confident we can get through most of it. I may or may not break facial rigging up into smaller parts. But, rest assured, it's there :)
Alright, here we go-
You'd be surprised how much easier life is when you can actually see what you're trying to paint. These two quick steps are absolutely important, and everyone should definitely know about them! Hope it helps :)
2020-03-06 06:08:15 +0000 UTC View PostAlright Squad, I was planning the video line-up this week. And, yesterday a topic was brought to my attention. It wasn't originally something I was going to cover, but would you guys like a video on how to modify a rig from one character to another? (Example: Blenda > Blendo, or Link > Mario)
OK. A lot of you have been asking for tips on weight painting, but I really felt like a little advice will go a long way in sparing you the frustration I encountered when I start this for the first time. Hope this advice helps those of you who may be doubting their abilities to animate like a pro :)

Not a bad month. The family grew by 6000, and we got through the meat of rigging basics. I'm really hoping to complete the rigging series by the end of the month, but there's quite a bit to cover. Still, I'm quite happy with what we've accomplished.
Also, to all new patrons this month welcome to the Squad!!! Glad you're here, and I'm excited to start showing you guys what I have in store over the next few months :)
I'll release the plan for the next few weeks tomorrow. In the me...
Today, I present to you THE best way to get the best of both IK and FK in a single rig. It's a much simpler and easier than the traditional 3 separate skeleton rigs you see all over the place. Hope it helps-!
2020-02-25 04:49:59 +0000 UTC View PostNobody enjoys animating hands, but a good rig can help make the process a little more bearable. We'll be combining these with pose libraries soon. In the meanwhile, hope it helps :)
2020-02-20 20:15:21 +0000 UTC View PostI don't see a lot of people giving too much thought to the spine. But, it's really one of the most useful part of a rig when done right. This technique has worked wonders for me, I hope it does the same for you :)
2020-02-18 08:59:51 +0000 UTC View PostSometimes, you just need to get your head under control! And, in the next 30 seconds, you'll know exactly how! Hope it helps :)
2020-02-15 03:15:19 +0000 UTC View PostOut of curiosity. What sort of animation tutorials would you guys interested in learning? This rigging and weight painting series is kind of exploding way more than I thought it would. So, I'm thinking of doing a few animation tutorials at the end. But, I'd like to hear what kind you guys really want. Let me know down below!
2020-02-12 03:58:31 +0000 UTC View PostLearn everything you need to make your very own beautiful bone/joint shapes in the next 30 seconds!!! Hope it helps :)
2020-02-11 09:19:04 +0000 UTC View PostLearn everything you need to make a fully functional foot pivot rig in the next 60 seconds!!! This may be the most requested tutorial yet lol. Hope it helps :)
2020-02-09 06:35:38 +0000 UTC View PostIK has long been one of the trickiest things for new users to figure out. I'm really hoping this video puts an end to that once and for all. Thanks for watching and hope it helps :)
2020-02-06 07:59:25 +0000 UTC View PostFor those of you who like those clean bends, you're gonna need a joint system! The double joint system is great way to accomplish that and is the system we will be using for the rest of the series. Hope it helps :)

OK! So, there's a lot of stuff I want to cover this month. It's very likely we wont be able to finish everything on this list here. But, we're gonna see how far we can push it. I know a lot of you specifically wanted to see more detailed rigging/animation related things so this month was planned with that in mind :)
Alright, let's get to work~
-Royal Skies-
Well, that was one tough month. I didn't expect to finish the updated rigging video this Month, but somehow we fit it in at the last moment lol. The family grew by 4000 people & 11 fantastic people have joined the squad this month. Welcome to the team and glad to have you here :)
Tomorrow, I'll release the mission targets for next month. Until then, thank you so much for all the amazing support last month. I'll do my best to keep it up this month :)
All the best,
-Roy...
A lot has changed since I made this one last year. Thought now would be a good time to bring it up to speed. Learned a few new tricks this time too~ Hope it helps :) Big thanks to all the amazing helpful comments from the last Rigging Video to help find shortcuts for this one~!
Normally the real time Updates are reserved for Tier 2 Patrons, but this one I felt was important enough that everyone should know.
The last video was hit with demonetization(limited). They don't tell me why, but I have a feeling it has to do with the human 3D model having no clothes. So, this kinda sucks because the next 3 videos are going to utilize those models for tutorials.
Regardless, I did ask for a human to come back and review the video. I personally think 3D modeling ...
Today's video is a little different. We're about to hit some of the hardest aspects of 3D modeling, and I wanted to make sure that before we do, you have SOLID human body models to follow along with! I've been fixing them up for you guys the past 2 weeks, feel free to use them for anything you need. I hope you like them :)

Hey guys, Hope you're doing well. It took A LOT longer than I was hoping. But, I got the hardest part done! Meet MP-T69-EXA. I'm gonna make a few more videos before I texture her, but as soon as I finished texturing,, she'll be all yours!
Hope you guys like her :)
With the Texture series over, we are veering into the final phase of the Blender tutorials. In order for people to follow along I plan to release my base Male and Female bodies for anyone to use to create their own characters.
That got me thinking though, would you guys also like for me to create an example character you could to practice editing with? The idea being it would help give an example of how to turn a base model into an original unique character.
Is that something y...
We have finally arrived at the last important trick in the Blender Texture Series. This one is pretty fun and simple. To everyone who stuck to the end of the series, thank you so much for being here~! As always, hope it helps and have a FANTASTIC day :)

2020-01-11 07:18:58 +0000 UTC View PostCustom brushes are the bread and butter of any good designed texture. In the next 15 seconds, you'll know everything you need to turn ANY random image into a texture brush!!! Hope it helps :)
2020-01-09 06:16:14 +0000 UTC View PostBy now, you guys are no doubt procedural texture veterans. But, sometimes it's actually faster to simply draw the detail in yourself. Learn how in the next 2 minutes! Hope it helps :)

Alright Squad! Here's our hitlist for this month. This is may in fact be more than I can chew, but I'm gonna give it my all and see how much of this we can knock out. After the previous voting polls, it was pretty clear to me that most of you really wanted more videos about advanced Animation Control. So, this month we are taking a break from the scheduled series to hit the targets I think most of my Patreons wanted to see.
In order for the viewer's to be able to follow along. I want ...
I don't think I've ever produced more videos in a single month before. Almost got through everything I wanted last month! Didn't think I was going to be able to finish the entire materialize series, but somehow we mad it~
The family grew by 1900 people last month, and 13 new fantastic people have joined the squad! Everyone please give a warm welcome the new names above!
I'll be uploading the plan for next month tomorrow. I'm real excited to show you guys the next phase! H...
Well, you guys asked for it. So, here it is. Rendering clouds using cloud rendering. Prepare your clouds like never before! Hope it helps :)
