This way of teaching allows you as the student to truly grasp the concept.. be able to do it on your own without looking at notes and not have to bookmark this video every single time you attempt to do the task in hand.

  1. Your video was super helpful and I learned a lot. However, I wasn't able to use my spring for what I intending in the end because I couldn't solve how to scale it :/ Might be helpful to include in the future.

  2. Hey thanks for sharing, I followed your tutorial and have an ideal result that I want. However, after I keyframed the controllers to animate the movement, the spring melts to the floor out of no reason, do you know why or do you know what should I key? Thanks!

  3. Hi There! First of all, loved the video, super useful, however I followed your steps to the book, the spring appears to be working perfectly, however when I try to key the ctrls the spring warps and shoots off my screen, Ive tried making hierarchies, parenting to other groups, nulls and ctrls to try and eliminate bad data bit nothing seems to work. I was wondering if you have any insight or have encountered this before especially if we are making the rig to animate. Thanks!

  4. hey, thanks for everything but whenever I put the curves and stuff, my whole spring deforms in a really weird way.. so I can't close it too much nor open it too much..
    would it be because I scaled it before doing all this ??

  5. The course that you have in your description, would I be able to follow along? I really have no experience what so ever with rigging and want to make sure I will be able to follow along as well there.
