Thanks for watching, everyone! I have part 3 of 3 completed as well! It will be uploaded in a few days! Please comment tutorials you’d like to see if you’re curious about anything in more detail!

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Hey Fruit...I already like what you’re doing, but I will indeed throw a couple requests your way. ✌️🎩

[@FruitZeus]

Sounds great! Lemme know!

[@belajarbersama381]

I use your skin tutorial on some of my characters, very helpful

[@FruitZeus]

I got your comments! Thanks for watching RD! The veggie tales mouth rig is interesting! I’ve never done a rig like that but I’d be more than happy to research for you!

[@FruitZeus]

Part 3: Easily Rig A Simple Character - coming today. Dropping in a few hours! 🤗 🦾🦿

[@xuemeijiang2216]

I am watching part one now, but I can not wait to leave a comment on this part two. Great job, thank you!!!

[@FruitZeus]

Glad to hear this is helpful for you!! Thanks for tuning in!! 😁

[@HeinerS]

For a beginner like me these three parts are extremely helpful. Thank you for making those videos.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Fruit...just incredible efficiency. Everything you need in the fewest possible vertices. And in the fewest moves. This guy is built for animation, but there are enough loops to push and pull and create any size & shape. Beautiful...this is gold standard stuff. Thanks 🙏🍺🎩🎩🎩....rig it, man!

[@FruitZeus]

Thank you!!

[@mcandler_the_unscottish]

Ah Sensei. You went through the hand modelling like others don't have 1hr long tutorials just on that alone. You are laying foundations for ninja-lings like me to apply on more complex models. Thank you.

This channel gonna be big 🔥

[@FruitZeus]

I hope so!! 😬

[@anthonidrez3711]

ok i officially love your channel, its SO easy learn with you

[@evanstential]

This tutorial was great! Keep them coming! I love how you explain things as you move along. Maybe you could cut up the video with KZbin time stamps for critical steps? I've been revisiting this video and I think that may save time when I need a quick reference

Your doing great things man

Thank you, Sir, 🙏🌺😇

[@BarbarosTheBarbarian]

Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. It has been easy to follow so far. I haven't watched the next part yet. Maybe this question is answered there but when do we apply the subdivision modifier?

[@FruitZeus]

Hey! So usually I never actually apply the modifier. I just leave it on incase I have to dial back the level of subdiv for animation process to go smoothely

[@sahanravidu7795]

So informative, So helpful.. Thanks man !

Amazing, keep it up

[@rhettosbment2384]

Does the following rigging tutorial apply to making these characters for unreal engine? And if I were to use this as a base mesh should I rig first and then make variations? or should I make characters and then rig individually?

[@purpleparkstudios4124]

awesome

[@o23522]

what about n gons?

[@peacefulmusic9631]

Waiting for part 3 rigging

[@FruitZeus]

Available now! 😃

[@RWLuckyLuc]

I like part 1 of this series. But in part 2, I'm a bit disappointed that you don't take the time to have good topology at the wrists. At 21:00, the selected edge loop of the arm has 8 vertices compared to the selected edge loop of the hand having 11 vertices. So, when you click on Bridge Edge Loops, you get a lot of triangles (bad topology). Before hitting Bridge Edge Loops, why don't you either increase the vertex count of the arms to 11 or decrease the vertex count of the hands to 8 ?

[@FruitZeus]

Hi Marie, this is a great point, honestly I should’ve gone into the detail to make the wrists better topology, but this is how I do characters sometimes. For me I need the extra vertices in the hands, where as I don’t use as many in arms / body region. For that reason, I leave them out. At some point they will need to converge. For most things I do, this works even though it’s not correct. It’s not perfect topology. But this works for a lot of the characters I make. I do wish I addressed it though. I’m sorry for not bringing this to attention and thank you for pointing it out. I appreciate you watching this through!

[@RWLuckyLuc]

Hi again! After following part 3, I have some issues with the hair and both eyebrows. The only follow partly head and neck rotations and translations. What did I do wrong ? If you want to improve your topology, Decoded has a brillant short tutorial called Change Your Understanding of Topology In Six Minutes.

[@kellyjohnson768]

Zeus, I've noticed that your Character doesn't have facial loops? Doesn't that cause probz for rigging and animation?

[@FruitZeus]

Not for me, I don’t do a traditional rig. If you watch the video that explains my process on Facial Rig (my first video), it explains this.

[@kellyjohnson768]

@@FruitZeus i can see the advantages of just using shape keys but are there some issues you've come up against vs using a rigify rig?

[@FruitZeus]

I use them in conjunction with each other! I go over this in the next video I will post. It’s certainly not the traditional animation method of rigging faces but it works great for what I do. In a ‘Studio setting’ you’d probably be expected to build a full face rig but it’s just now how I do it usually. Also I’m going to do soon what you asked about doing. The simple cartoon characters style. It will be a fun less tutorial oriented video, but just a workflow walkthrough and a live capture.

[@anastasiapashinina9912]

Hi again FruitZeus! Tell me please what is command Ctrl+A - Apply Scale for?

[@FruitZeus]

Applying the scale normalizes the scale transform inside the object. This way it has no effects on any modifier, or texture that could be influenced by the original scale. Basically it tells blender “hey the scale is correct at this dimension. Make everything else work according to this proper scale right here.”
