"@Daniel_San_CGI It's a Rigify rig for all of the base components. The controllers act as drivers to control Action constraints on each of the bones. Each Action is an animation (eyebrows raise angry mouth etc) then as we move the controller it essentially turns on and off the animations"

"@3D_director Yeah the reason I like this method is that I can make a rough pose with the Joystick controllers (love that name) and also move the actual face bones. That's how I made Rumi's expression you can see the controllers move but I then made manual tweaks and shapekey refinements"

"I've used the same kind of Rigging logic and applied it to the hands Each finger has two animations: raised/spread and fist The controllers blend from the fist position to the spread position. Rotating the controllers allows you to make some cool hand motions #blender #b3d"

"@KyleSygma @NFedac19300 that's why I made a quick little addon to add the constraints for me I move the controller to the position I want and then click "Add constraints" and it adds the Action constraints and Drivers for me I'll make a video explaining all of it eventually https://x.com/vertex_arcade/status/1939431836939407446t=XJKf1CjgkbE8qxCTNcNPsA&s=19 To make life a bit easier I made a quick addon that will add all of the constraints/drivers for me. So there's animations for each motion (mouth left/right/open) Move the Master bone to your chosen activation point and it adds the Action"

"Recently I've been working on a Sketch Shader and so far I'm pretty happy with the results. It uses [--] different textures at different levels of brightness and blends between them. So far I have hatching crosshatching scribbles and stippled effects working #blender #b3d"

"To model Medusa's hair I used Geometry Nodes to make a simple procedural setup It starts as some curves then we instance the head at the end of each curve give it thickness and then merge them together It's simple but very helpful for making complex stuff #blender #b3d"

"I'm trying to understand how to make perfect looking toon normals so I downloaded one of the Guilty Gear models and it's crazy how different the topology is to standard topology. Eventually I'll have to make a character in this style to truly understand it #blender #b3d"

"Currently this is probably the extent of my animation skills. I'll come back to this animation after I do some animation courses and see how I improve. Also the Mesh Trails make even this average animation look pretty cool #blender #b3d"

"I did some more work on the Galaxy material trying to really get that Parallax effect I also added some different masks so the constellation only shows up on the hips and no stars show on the face. Those little details really make it look more like the original #blender #b3d"

"I tried making some Dark Souls style humanoid characters using my Adjustable Mannequin. These take a bit more effort but it's quite easy to manipulate the rig to make it work. You can duplicate the rig and just take the arms/legs to create multiple limbs #blender #b3d"

"Beta Cleffa is pretty much identical to the original minus the curl and brown ears. I think they made the right choice going with the curl because this looks strange @DrLavaYT @RacieBeep #blender #Blender3D #Pokemon"

"After retopology and posing I always go back and do another pass of the model to make sure it looks exactly like the reference image. They may seem like small changes but they make a huge difference #b3d #blender"

"My coloured lights Toon Shader is fully real time and you can add as many lights as you want and they'll all react correctly. The trick with this method is separating the diffuse and specular components of the lights. I'll attach the nodes in this thread (1/2) #blender #b3d"

"Most of my ear models are faked with textures so I finally wanted to make a proper ear model and why not make it customisable This is still just initial testing but eventually I'll have more options for making the ear cartoony and bones to manipulate the shape #blender #b3d"

"Inspired by @LightningBoySt1 toon hair tutorial I've added some Hair settings to my Toon Shader. Mostly I'm just making these shaders to help me with my own models but if they can help other people as well then that's great #blender #b3d"

"Another Spot Test This was basically all 2D work. The previous method was subtractive but to add the eyes and drool I needed to draw (and animate) a mask to bring back the original mesh. It's fairly rough but not bad for [--] hours work #blender #b3d #AcrossTheSpiderVerse I think this was an evening well spent I was curious to see if I could do this in #Blender and it's actually pretty simple All I did was animate a "cutter" mesh and let that boolean into the head Then just hand drew corrections using Grease Pencil #b3d #AcrossTheSpiderVerse https://t.co/m05uzXOIzI I think this was an evening"

"Making progress with my hand rigging This is just the Rigify rig no correctives or extra bones. I think it's passable the thumb is probably a fraction too long and the animation is a bit stiff but it works for my purposes and I'm open to any help/critiques #blender #b3d"

"One cool thing I'm adding for v1.2 of my Adjustable Mannequin is Character Presets using Blender's Pose Library. You can easily select a character or blend between characters and you can even just select areas and only those bones will be changed #blender #b3d"
