I got to do a nice rigging talk for the Autodesk users event in Austin.

🔥📣Just finished: - Full integration of #RBFNodes into SHAPES for #Blender3d - RBFNodes working with constraints. - Mirroring of a complete RBFNodes setup with all shape keys. - RBFNodes working with only two poses. Thanks for sharing! #b3d #blender #rigging #animation

Rigs that have a functioning propatagium membrane make me … 😃 #propatagium #animation

Who is going to be at SIGGRAPH in a few weeks and wants to catch up on all things rigging, motion capture, and maybe get a @riggingdojo.bsky.social sticker :) #rigtip #animtip

King Krush is here! I've been working for Superseed Studios, in collaboration with the team at Blizzard, to build the rig for Hearthstone's first pet. He was a fun and unique challenge, balancing rig flexibility and expression controls with low joint and polygon counts

I rigged and skinned all four variations provided by the modelers at Blizzard, with animation being handled by the team at Superseed. The King Krush pet is now available through the Lost City of Un'Goro expansion for Hearthstone!

Proper joint placement and orientation is essential to good rigging. My joint guide system uses poly planes to help streamline this process, a relatively simple feature. These pieces of geometry are attached to each joint, stretch with their length and can be scaled up independently #rigtip

The planes act as visual indicators for the joint's position and orientation within a model's volume, making them easy to line up with landmarks and topology. This in combination with the structure of my guide modules ensures they will always be properly aligned

Using planes to help place joints was a technique I first saw in a Rigging Dojo video over a decade ago. I used a similar process for many years, and it inspired this addition to my joint guide system. I recommend trying a process like this if you haven't already! www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqiF...

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006) horse animation with lead character animator Christiane Meister. Awesome to see an animator so in love with the subject.

Hey #PortfolioDay I'm Robbie, a freelance senior rigging TD working in games, film and other related industries. I'm available for work with some spots open in May, get in touch if you prefer that I take care of those pesky rigging tasks instead of you

Today I fixed a few more bugs in Blender, just in time for tomorrow's release of 4.4.1! #animation #blender3d #b3d #devfund

Cleaning out some old archives and came across physical YouTube 🤣, some of the best learning materials to understand rigging concepts. Appreciate all the people I learned from. Also proud to be on the 2004 instructor list with a great group of friends. Amazing depth in the tutorials. #maya3d

Today I spent the evening working on Copy Global Transform a bit more. It got some much-needed refactors, and the start of some automated tests. Necessary steps before adding more features. #animation #b3d #blender3d #CodingInBed

I did an overview of the new Rigging and Animation features in Blender 4.4. 📺 youtube.com/watch?v=mv2_... #b3d #rigging #rigip

With the industry in a slump and money even harder to come by we wondered if we could help, in our small but unique way, by offering our services to those in need for FREE! A thread...

Alien Trilogy PS1 (1996) cutscene mocap shows off Acclaim's cutting-edge facilities (for the time). Crazy this was 3 decades ago.

In all, Acclaim's motion capture facility was super-advanced for the 90s. Virtua Fighter had come out a few years earlier in Japan and was basic by comparison. These last two videos from the site of mocap pioneer Remington Scott - Acclaim's Interactive Director at the time.

The Acclaim Advanced Technology Group's character animation process is impressive if you can stomach the unadulterated 90s editing of this promo.

Been a while since we’ve had one so I’ve created a game animation starter pack. LMK in the comments if you wish to be added (or removed).

Blender 4.4 animation speed - two things, one there has been a setting in simplify when checked on to turn off custom normal's, doubling your FPS.. now if you do want to see your custom normal's they will be faster to play back out of the box #animtip projects.blender.org/blender/blen...
