@@pwnisher What kind of computer specifications will allow me to work with 3D at home, this is a question I allways searched for an answer and never found one. Every one says you need a high performance cpu and gupu. I just don’t get answers that satisfy me. 1. I want to work on a memory castle project. I want to be able to have something I manipulate infront of me like a game. With high quality graphics not the raw shapes that a person gets when they are using the polygon modeling side of things. Instead of a dark limbo sky, I want sunlight the way you see it in a video game. I don’t want to use a game engine like unity. I want to use a 3D software like blender. 2. When it comes to creating a 3D scene. The process of creating at a polygon stage, one is supposed to be able to see sample renders of what he is doing to be able to be oriented around his work right? How to get that kind of thing moving smoothly without extreme slowness? 3. When it comes to producing the final outcome, wether in the form of a video scene, or a game like interactive environment. How can a person produce that at home? Does a person need to use render farms? 4. Render farms are extremely expensive. Isn’t it more cost effective to buy a high specification computer instead of paying 1000 dollars every time you want to render a minute of animation? 5. Do all the people who use any 3D work on UA-cam use render farms? Or is there people doing it at home by themselves? PLEASE ANSWER 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😞😞😞😞 I need answers, I need lots of answers (trying to sound like neo in the matrix when he said I need guns, I need lots of guns) If you don’t answer, I’m going to get a wooden stake. Then the sun will be the least of your worries.
This loooks so good. Something to keep in mind is when a puppet talks, the top half of the head moves up alongside the jaw moving down. I think this might help any animation look more muppety.
OMG. Thank you so much. I have an animated series I am working on. My entire world is a plush world. So someting like this is very useful. I was not sure how to do materials. This was what I needed. Thank you. My character is a plush monkey and my partner is a plush bunny.
Jurassic Park used a form of puppetry for the animation. The animators were stop motion animators, so they attached a maquette to the cgi program of the time.
fitting video for me after just watching the new The Boys spinoff show GEN V. theres a crazy ass puppet fight sequence in the show you should take a look at!
I'm so glad the algorithm recommended me this, I was watching corridor just the other day thinking how much I've missed your presence over there, but was really struggling to remember the name of your new channel name. Really glad to see your new channel doing well, I love this kind of content.
My one suggestion would be to have the torso attached to the "arm" so you dont get so much wiggling when moving (if you want it more realistic anyway, lol.) Great job!
Yeah it's weird how he thinks puppets have the hand going into the back of the head instead of up the bum. It's still a cool tutorial, I just found that odd.
As someone who tried to solve digital puppetry in Blender way back in 2009, with little success putting it into a production, seeing this much enthusiasm in the comments is really validating.
@@pwnisher Yeah I caught someone else doing digital puppetry in Blender a couple years ago. He shared his toolchain with me, which was mostly the AddRoutes plugin. These days, I work on very different stuff and don't really make time for 3D anymore, but if you look at that plugin and kind of augment it with my 2009 talk here on YT i think you can figure out the rest. My goal was to have a Henson-style set-up. Blender supports multiple windows for the same project etc right? so you could do a real deal setup where one camera is the camera operator, one camera is your puppeteer's reference, and you set up the graphics to be just good enough to get the idea of what it will look like in realtime, record lots of takes til you nail the one you want, bump up the quality... profit. The big missing piece you might think is the controller software, but just like playing a video game it doesn't have to be a 1:1 thing (as my talk covers). what's more important is that you can see the result instantaneously and play loosely with it and record. Even better if I could've found a way to overlap those recordings with a small setup because, as i'm sure you found out, secondary motion and one arm only takes you so far. In modern Henson setups, multiple people control a single character in realtime and if you're just one person you have to implement "overdubbing." I still have all my ancient project files. if you want to chat hit me up.
Clint, and Sotomonte, brilliant! I've been brewing up ideas for an children's educational series. Never would have thought putting together puppets in blender.
truly a role model to follow. Handsome, athletic, clever and skilled. Thanks for this tutorial and thanks for using blender! Very much appreciated since Corridor Crew uses Maxon C4D.

Might I also suggest using MediaPipe to do face capture and only taking the shapekey data for the mouth open? You could also get the head rotation matrix from here if you want it to bob around in the scene. I don't have a mediapipe to blender workflow - but I believe there is a pluging.
Really cool! But I think the effect would be way more convincing if the top of the head moved when the mouth opens, rather than the bottom jaw. The way the mouth moves makes it look unnatural.
I'll wait for it, always a fan of your content just by fun as a true fan of 3d development. Cheers man, you had one of the greatest community I'm part of your discord too 🤣
Instructions unclear my puppet ended up being hand stitched into a real one. Wait, how am I here? Thought I was watching UA-camr Puppet Nerds tutorials....
Would love to see another version of this being able to use these in real time for a V Tuber on Twitch. As a live streamer and avid user of HONK, I'd love to be able to use this in a live stream scenario. Aloha from Maui.
I was making a similar puppet plugin for C4D for puppeteers and your use of VR to capture the motion is brilliant. I was using camera tracking for a physical foam dummy puppet but your method skips straight to the motion frames. This is awesome!
This was suuper fun to work on, I hope you guys enjoy the tutorial and find it interesting!
Pero why your puppet look so much better than his?
Your voice sounds so cool! Your style of talking really gave life to your puppet! Enjoyed that so much!
@@manmadeartists Thanks for the compliment!! 🥰
Ayy sotomonte the legend❤
Really cool tutorial and presentation. Good job ❤
This is how I expect Vtubers to look from now on, I will accept no less
this js so good
That would be awesome.
That will be way better than the same old anime Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls lookin’ ass…
Time for me to rig up a muppet style avatar then~
@@emilithryn yes
Its amazing how realistic the final result looks!!
Yeah man, that fuzz, the lighting, the animation. It all hits hard
And sad how we'll never know as they didn't show the materials...
I have never done any sort of 3D animating, let alone any sort of animation.
I now want to turn myself into a puppet.
Yeeeeesss mwaahahahha!! Why not give the weekly challenge a try :)
@@pwnisher I just might!
finally a blender tutorial
Still not sure
YESSSSS
Is it though?
@@hundegemechu855 well soto is doing it in Blender, but he stated it can be done in other softwares
@@hundegemechu855 the entire thing is done in blender
Ah yes how to turn yourself to muppet, exact tutorial I need in my life.
Might find yourself in a fight to the death in GenV
Exact puppet that made fun of u
Fuck yeah
Don't burn it.
this is easily the best narrated CG tutorial I have ever seen!
Heck yeaaahhh!! Yeah man Soto killed it!
Thanks!! It means a lot :)

I love these puppets. They look way too real. Well done !
this is actually a really fun way to do a tutorial!
Yay glad you thought so :)
tutorials like this make the world a better place
You both are a gift to the 3D community. This content is gold 🔥
Pro puppeteer with The Jim Henson Company here. This is pretty sweet. Great work.
The lens breathing on the puppet shot was 👌
🙏🏼 glad you caught it :)
dude this is one of the best tutorials ive ever watched, besides whats taught.

This is awesome Clint! Love these shortish tutorials please keep making more content like this
Wow the Puppet-ception is quite interesting, I don't think I've ever seen virtual puppeteering before, what a time to be alive!

this is gonna change my animation process forever thank you!
What a great idea! Thank you so very much for creating this and sharing it

YEEES, been waiting for a video like this
Using a virtual you to puppeteer a virtual muppet you is sublime
I LOVE THIS. Been researching real-time digital puppetry for months; this is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks guys!!
By exporting to Unity and additional rigging, you could totally puppet the avatar live using something like VSeeFace or Warudo
truly a role model to follow. Handsome, athletic, clever and skilled. Thanks for this tutorial and thanks for using blender! Very much appreciated since Corridor Crew uses Maxon C4D.
This tutorial is fantastic and has been my excuse to get into sculpting with Blender! Thank you @pwnisher and @sotomonte_!
You might have a career in acting with how you convinced me of that bite
Is there a good tutorial on how you made the fuzzy hair on the puppets please?
Mocap Fusion is seriously underappreciated. It can do so much
BROOOOO SO BRILLIANT
As an irl puppetmaker, this video was absolutely fascinating!
Thanks!
always appreciate what you do for those who are passionate about creating with blender
OMG look amazing!
What a cool way to animate! amazing tutorial, thanks
Please make more video on puppet makki g
This is so much better than that Corridor TikTok AI filter 😂
Loved this tutorial. Also, didn't expect sotomonte.
🙌🙌
"and let's hit render" and 48hrs later you have a 3 minute animation 🤣
That was awesome!
That was awesome! Thank you.
This is insane!!! No clue what's going on, but I loved every minute
That was so fun to watch. Some day I'll learn blender.
This is so cool! i'm gonna try and do this for myself
Suuuch an adorable result both in the early film and the puppet results 🥰
Yaaaaaaas! I love this!
Very cool idea and video! Thanks for the work
Y'all are both great teachers!
So cute - I love it!
It's above my current Blender skills, but a good incentive to learn something new - thank you!

damnnnn the intro is siiick
This was awesome, can't wait for more of these.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial!!! It was inspiring, educational and fun to watch. I love this style of teaching. ❤️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
what good is puppeteering without any visual feedback of what is moving
i am currently making my own and this is awesome thanks for making this awesome video
Looking at the thumb: "This is the same picture."
This video inspired me to start learning blender again! Thanks for the motivation
rad thanks
Might I also suggest using MediaPipe to do face capture and only taking the shapekey data for the mouth open? You could also get the head rotation matrix from here if you want it to bob around in the scene. I don't have a mediapipe to blender workflow - but I believe there is a pluging.
holy sh*t, that tutorial was amazing 🤩
Glad you enjoyed!!
So you know how he made the materials?
Definitely inspired me to learn Blender little each day so I can learn how to do this!
Definitely not me learning blender to make a puppet of myself to use as a profile picture
just wanna thank you for this kind of tutorials
Woo Honourable mention! ( 9:07 2 birds 1 stone rap album )
Challenge sounds fun this week :)
Dude i was DYING at that!! Hahaha so freakin funny!
Really cool! But I think the effect would be way more convincing if the top of the head moved when the mouth opens, rather than the bottom jaw. The way the mouth moves makes it look unnatural.
Finally, I've been looking this exact tutorial for months!!
That what I need now! Thank you!
aw this is actually cool, sadly I dont now almost nothing of blender to start! hahahah great video!

Soon we will all be puppets of our AI overlords
This reminds me of that Buffy/Angel episode. Thanks for the video!
My two favorite things. Design and puppets
The intro was super cute and awesome, you got a sub from me
i used to watch you on rocket jump all the time and just found this!! would love to see more blender tutorials, I just got started with it!!!
awesomeness
amazing!! great tutorial!
Clint, you never disappoint
Bless 🙏🏼
damn thank you
Incredible! How would you use this to make a V-Tuber avatar?
You explain very well.
Thanks!!
I’ve been looking for this since I saw the fan made Adult Swim bumper of Rick & Morty as 3D puppets! Thank you!
It would be amazing if you could go a little more into detail on how you made that material. I just cant seem to get it right :/
Dude ! This is awwwwwwwwsome. Thanks for idea
Wow, this was the best blender rigging tutorial I have ever seen. AMAZING work
Not to mention the production value
Thanks!!
Finally using blender ! The dayy has come
This is so sick, very fun and cute
