Such a comprehensive tutorial. I was trying to avoid this because of its length but I also knew that no other tutorial will give such a detailed and vast knowledge. I wish, (if time allows) to watch all your tutorials. Thank you so much, Sir.
Nice…appreciate you putting this in Blender Swap….questions: 1. why not make it in Cycles? and 2. If I append this object (dragon) into my cycles blend, it does not always work at to textures…..have you seen this later problem? Any suggestion? Thanks I really love you work
so nice
and
i miss you man
great tutorial
Awesome tutorial man! This was a great introduction to rigging in blender 🙂
I notice some times when I'm trying to do some edits to a mesh. If I say remove an Edge. Then right in the middle of the face there will still be a fold in the Face where the Edge used to be. And the only way I can get rid of that is putting an Edge that goes through it. Also sometimes adding or removing an Edge or Vert will break the shading. And the area gets dark. How can I fix those issues. Is there a button or option I need to press to tell blender to make the Face flat again and turn the darkened spots back to light again.
Also Ali I have been learning on Udemy!
I really love this dragon!!!
excellent
Please say he's gonna fly in the next part…one cannot simply follow this much tutorial attentively and not have a flying dragon at the end of it 😛
Hi Sir. Another very well explained tutorial!
On you tube I've discovered the bendy bones feature.
What do you think about using it on neck and tail to make them more sinuous?
A little thing (maybe offtopic here).
WIth your thoughts on blender render vs cycles, you save me a lot of time.
I like to animate simulations (keva planks, spheres, rigid body) but I've never thought to use blender render to speed up the rendering! So thanks again! 😀
Not 1 full month after that class and you make a video about it, This is Alex by the way.
