Thanks for checking out my channel. I'll share stuff about character animation, rigging theory and puppet animation.


Rig Theory

Thought I'd share a high point of this morning's reflections.🙏🏽

"To create is image-bearing. To order chaos, build systems, make meaning, and produce beauty are all reflections of creaturely likeness to the Creator."

Finally getting back into my creative groove. Excited to share the details of a clean build and full case study for my latest Multi-View Rig. Please stay tuned🙏🏽

One of the worst feelings in the world is when inspiration leaves you. Thankfully, I've got some of my groove back and I'm working on a multi-view rig that's going to be really special. The cleanest, smartest and most advanced puppet I've ever put together is in progress. I will try not to keep you waiting much longer, but she might be ready to show off around November? Sooner, if I'm able.

It's been a brutal year💔
Thank you for your patience🙏🏽

Just saw Light of the World and it did NOT disappoint. The team understood their assignment and made a Biblically accurate, socially relevant 2D Animated film with charm, purpose and heart. Struck a masterful balance between artistic liberty and Biblical accuracy. Highly recommend.

Does anyone know, was this a ToonBoom production or Moho?

OMG!!😲Have you seent the Sneak Preview of the demonstration of Adobe's Turntable?

It generatively creates a full horizontal turnaround of a vector character. Apparently it can also generate a vertical turn of the character as well. I suspect that a sequence of svg (scalable vector graphics) are created and then available to scrub forwards and backwards from an 'x' and a 'z' slider. There wasn't much info, and it was a demo of a feature that will likely be available in Illustrator (us Animate users can only pray).



Adobe's demo is here (https://youtu.be/gfct0aH2COw)

more info is available www.theverge.com/2024/10/17/24272971/adobe-illustr…


What do y'all think?
I'm shaking!!! 😀

Feel like I've been moving in extreme slo-mo. Thankfully, lots of good things are happening- between my current PSA project and some promising trade events happening I'm hopeful about the future. I'll try to touch base and post here so I'm not missing out too much. Funny enough, my rigging has been a lower priority on the current project. I will likely create a limited rig for the main character, as opposed to a full multi-view rig.

I will keep you posted!

Hi Fam. Sorry about not posting more frequently. I'm finally in preproduction on an animation project that pushed me back into character design and rigging! I'll try to share some WIPs until I have time or a proper (an long overdue) up-to-date rigging tutorial. AnimateCC remains a fine option for character design, rigging and animation. Much more to come! Please stay well, y'all.

I'm super thankful for all the healthy discussion in my last video. Last night I got an email inviting me to Beta test version 7 of Flash power tools. Let me tell you, I've never been more excited about the release of an animation tool. So many MORE of the things we wish we had will be in the next update!! I will prepare a summary video in the next few days- schedule permitting. GET READY!!
