WATCh IT AND LEARN IT! JOIN THE FUN ON DISCORD!! / discord Follow me on Instagram ad twitter: @zebirdbrain More Videos to come in the following weeks! :) ===============
Thank you so much for theses videos, I go to an animation school where we don't have a professor to teach us Harmony!! We were using TVPaint last year instead of Harmony like our current project profs thought, so they've been trying to set up a workshop for us to all have a crash course in both Storyboard and Harmony and it just... hasn't happened. You're a life saver for both me and my team!!!
Thank you soooo much for putting these videos out for rigging. I barely find videos that gets straight to the point and let us know essential information without beating around the bush. Bless you for these stuff and hope you continue to shepherd us Harmony users :')
0:35 the Layout/Posing Peg 1:09 Separate Peg position 1:40 Make sure drawings don't have keyframes on them (Animate Using Animation Tools) 2:37 use Backdrops on node view 5:24 organize nodes
Watched half of this video and already save me from my long team headache that is how to not create keyframes on drawing layers! Thank you so much! Now, i'll watch the rest of the video.
thank you so much for your support to us that need this video!!!! new subscriber 2021!!!!! (but i have 1 question please reply......what tutorial did you watch that's why you created this tutorial?)
I am sorry you find it hard to understand. As a fellow artist with ADHD, I think it is easier to listen when things are faster. (I typically hit the 150% button on the tutorials I watch on youtube.) The pitch is not changed, it's actualy that I speed up my video by 20%... resulting in the high pitch. It makes me comfortable and confident to post videos like this, it's the high and robo squeak voice or nothing. If you would rather hear my real speed and voice, you can click the button in the youtube tool bar that changes the video speed and srt it to 75%. You're welcome.
Hello ZeBirdBrain, I love your tutorials very much. Thank you so much for all your hard work helping us. I do have a question... I asked you once before, but I can't remember which tutorial I commented on... anyway, I am wondering if you ever shared your rig with your fans. It would be so great to study it and use it on projects. Anyway... I won't bug you anymore, but I just wanted to check and see. Thanks again for your great tutorials!!! (I'm 72, so I'm in kind of a time crunch to learn all this stuff... ha!!!)
Greetings!! I would love to send you a rig, but sadly, I have non finished at the moment . . . But I will let you know, and send you, a rig as soon as I have one finished! it shouldn't take long. And I am so, so sorry if I ever forgot to answer something you asked before! Feel free to bug me any time!!! :) Have a wonderfull day!
ZeBirdBrain oh, how nice of you to get back to me. Thanks so much. Just a simple character rig, three-quarter view would be so great! Thanks again for all that you do, and for all your hard work making your tutorials. I find them so helpful. I’ve been an illustrator since 1985… I’ve been dabbling in animation for a while, I get little jobs here and there which I really love to do. Anyway thank you so much, and take care.
I'm going from Harmony 11 to 20. I know, but I use a lot of different tools. So far this is the best series I've found on getting a general handle on new methods.
when I upload a picture of the top half of a body, if I put bones through an (outstretched) arm and move the arm/bones it drags the edge of the torso with. It, how do I make it move seperate to the body , it is a one layer pencil drawing that has been scanned and uploaded. I Would be massively grateful for a reply. What seems like such an easy fix I cannot work it out, thanks
I can't believe I didn't already know this stuff!! Thank you! You say at one point that when a master peg is collapsed, you set a key on all pegs, but this doesn't happen for me in Harmony automatically. Should it? Is there a setting I'm missing?
me: so, how do i insert a peg 🤔? jk but unrelated question: I'm making this basic stickman rig right, with the hammer and spanner tool for the limbs. but I can't seem to attach the legs to the hips? any help???
I like your short and sweet videos. Nice and clear, but I have a concern about making my rigs all separate positions. I understand that it is recommended to use separate positions for rigs, but what I find frustrating about separate positions compared to 3D path is that with a 3D path you can make a curve and you can slide points along the curve to adjust timing. But with separate positions you end up with a ton of points to try to approximate a curve and if you need to change it, you have to change every frigging point. I would really like to have an option to select XY with separate Z so that I could have a path in X and Y that was a curve and that I could set velocity or eases as I like, but keep my Z separate so that I can order my parts in front or behind as needed. Do you know of any way to get the behavior I desire?

Same deal for me! Wonder If we go to the same school.....

You're welcome!!
Omg, all my pegs was in 3d path since the beginning, and i was wondering why movement was quit weird sometimes. thanks ze
:D
Thanks! In no tutorial have I ever seen this, I've done many rigs, but it's never too late to remedy it. I'll be waiting for more of your videos :)
Yesss!! thank you !!!

Hi! love your videos! I was wondering if you had a start to finish rig building tutorial?
No, sorry
Hard for adhd comprehension when voice pitch changed high and robo squeak but really good infos!

I dunno if I missed something crucial lol but
why are the composite nodes trapezium shaped instead of rectangle shaped?
Because in a rig, you need to use ''pass through'' composites, you can change this in the properties of your node.
ohh I see now. Thankyou :D

Rock on!!
What?

Salut! Est-ce que tu fais des commissions de rig, par hasard?
non

How do you get that window on the right? Is it just a premium thing or can I do that in advanced?

Tysm I wanna make Happy Tree Friends Animation of Giggles
Cool
I really like your videos, but the when you do the zooms and stills at an angle it makes it harder to watch and harder to understand. Sorry!
ok
But but, how do you nest elements inside of others? You skipped that part.
NM I figured it out! Carry on :D

Its a toonboom essntials? thanks
thought rigging was easy, then I saw the nodes. boiiii I was wrong, it confuses me af.
ua-cam.com/video/FZbv__Sdywk/v-deo.html
try this if the nodes are confusing!!
I love your videos ❤ thank you for making them
C:
I think you should do what Kyu Bum did and make a complete rig from the model sheet. This would help a lot.
I doubt it it takes forever hahaha
What is the white boxes in your timeline where the arms completely switch? And how do I do that?
i don't know
@@ZeBirdBrain I found out it was the temporary replace drawings thing
is it ok to ask .... how old are you... u have a great showreel
Less than 30
@@ZeBirdBrain you have a bright future ahead of you.... I see you have some 3D works as well... are you planning on shifting to 3D full time
you're savin my life rn
oooh!
great video thanks!
Glad you liked it!
What program is that?
