gracias ,te amo!! dame un hijo sin condon!
Great Upload mate, maybe you can upload a modelling tutorial for the eagle. If yes, that will be great.
Curious (really in the dark here) – Why choose IK instead of FK for the bird wings? Is it a preference?
instead of circles i found some where rectangle and some other shape. what for those
I was thinking to my self I thought you sounded Like Mike but As soon as I check the channeL I face palmed Keep up the amazing work!
This is really cool tutorial. Thank you a lot. Since i start with Maya and leave 3ds max studio i was try to find sth like this.
Thanks man
Big thanks for this tutorial! Even Maya official learning videos are skipping SO MUCH info and based on Human Rig which almost automatic. Custom rig and skinning looked like pain but thanks to you they doesn't any more! Basics are always a must!
Great tutorial Mike, thank you. Just the right speed for following along. Keep em coming!
awesome …thank you Mike Hermes
Simple, Easy & Perfect Tutorial.. All of your Tuts are very easy to understand Mr.Hermes. Thank-you and Cheer's .. 🙂 🙂
It's really a pleasure to listen to your tutorials. You don't curse, get lost, eat a sandwich or forget how to speak!. You should do this for a living and if you do already, I'm sure you are very successful! Thank You! Your tutorial helped me animate a small butterfly 🙂
Hi, a quick question; I used the mirror method to duplicate my joints (2:50), it is all fine, i merged the joints to the model, but the left side is not following the same behavior than the right side (and viceversa); I did all as the video shows but its not working. Do you know if there could be a solution for this?. Many thanks!

Hey I really don't know anything about animation software but I'm entering a contest and the only software sites you can use are Flash, Fireworks, CorelDRAW, 3D animation Pro, Claymation, Alice, and Scratch what would you recommend if I'm trying to make a flying bird, what do you think would be the easiest but best resulting product of a bird flying? -Thanks
Thanks for the tutorial! It was great to finally have something so simple and to the point. However, I don't really understand the NURBs Curves step. Why is it necessary? Just to make stuff easier to grab? Or is it for transferring the model to animation later on?
thank you so much for the toturial .. it helped me a lot

I ask because I have one and was just wondering
thanks for turotial

Thank you Mike for this video!!! It is so so fantastic!!! No words…
4:37 I peed on my keyboard and they didn't parent :/
Thank you for this tutorial! It's so easy to follow. 🙂 I had the problem that the handles wouldn't move when I moved the nurbs circles. After parenting of course. :'D Solution: I just had to uncheck the box "Preserve Children" in the move tool settings. Maybe somebody has the same stupid problem and can solve it now. 😉
what a great explanation… thank you very much
Mike, thanks for the tutorial. You are one of the best instructors out there in the way that you explain things step by step. I say that as a retired college adjunct. Kudos!
