    What do you think about this kind of tutorial? And, would you like to see a video like this on a slightly more advanced character??

      While I have gone through the previous rigging tutorial, I'm nonetheless surprised to see it done so quickly and while keeping clear exactly what you're doing. You've really got a knack for this. And yes, seeing a process on a slightly more advanced character would be greatly appreciated.

    Does anybody else hate being stuck on a project and looking up a tutorial, only to find 20 minute long videos that might have the information you need?
    I love this channel because it's short and concise. I get all the information I need to know in about 3 minutes and I'm back working on my project.

    • @MattMarkYT
      @MattMarkYT 11 місяців тому +8

      Yeah but I ended up having to replay the video multiple times because my rig isn't working. I don't know where I went wrong. So in that aspect, a concise tutorial can be bad.

    Never EVER listen to people that tell you to slow down your tutorials.
    I learned to Rig in Blender through your tutorials. Granted, it took a few watches to get all of the details BUT that's preferable to the typical suuuuuuuuuper slow tutorial style most asshats in youtube use where they stop to explain every step.... or when they start by telling you how to add a cube....
    The beauty of video is that you can re-watch as many times as you need! Keep making fast condensed videos and never EVER slow them down. :D

      @SirKeeganPenney Рік тому +1

      If you can't comprehend or visually see a demonstration of what their trying to describe, their not creating a tutorial their just speed running a process and expecting you to understand. This tut is not a great example of anything to try to follow along to, it's just a demonstration of how it can be done in less then 5 minutes with a very simple model.

    I loved this video. The format is great but it also made me think that it could work wonderfully as a teaser for a longer video of this exact character where you provide the character and we get to rig it along with you in real time while watching the video. That's some Patreon stuff that I would pay for. Enough of these "short" lessons and I think we could actually learn this magic :)

    Note: bone symmetizing works on x axis. If you not made model right/left side on x axis from start you need to go to object mode, click rotation and in item/tool/view menu go to tool - options - transform and check origins to rotate origin point so its aligned properly.
    Why there no bone symetrizing on other axies no one knows.

    I had no idea why my meshes just WOULD NOT RIG CORRECTLY! I followed all the steps people had, straight forward, but never worked until I finally got 1 to work.
    I tried to rig up another mesh yesterday and it just wouldn't work.
    I watched this and tried on another mech and it works! I had to set each separate piece to parent with automatic weights to the armature, not join up the entire body and parent it! Thank you so much!
