Can someone please explain to me how exactly you rig the segments and the cables in-between them without them popping through the sides as you move the ik, everything else about the rig seems simple, but I just can't figure that part out, I have my own project where that is required and for the life of me I can't get it right

[@AlexisRivera3D]

*How did you made the arms go infinite loop when coming from inside of the mesh? that's awesome*

[@ZachAlanProductions]

Thanks! Glad you liked it :) That effect is created using the Array Modifier and Curve Modifier. The armature rig that is used to animate the arms is controlling a Blender bezier curve. I modelled a single arm segment, and the Array Modifier has the Fit Type set to "Fit Curve," so it duplicates that segment as many times as needed to fill the length of the arm curve. So as the arm is animated and that curve gets longer or shorter, arm segments are added or removed to have consistent spacing. A Curve Modifier is applied afterwards, which actually bends the duplicated arm segments to fit the shape of the curve. This video from another channel does a good job explaining this technique :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWSxd6eId6l2jJI

[@abbez4888]

Why do you have to always use PNG sequence? Is it because h.264 compresses videofile?

[@ZachAlanProductions]

H.264 compresses the video file but also does not allow for a transparent background. Also if you spend hours rendering to an H.264 video file and it crashes, the video file will likely be corrupted and you'd have to render all over again. With image sequences each image is saved as it's own file, so if the render crashes, all of the rendered frames are still safe :)

[@abbez4888]

@@ZachAlanProductions so of you just had computer godlike, could you use transparent video formats like AVI or mov?

[@ZachAlanProductions]

@@abbez4888 You could, but it's still not the best practice

[@cybersamurai7932]

really nice effect. I have some notes I think the green screen background takes the arms out of the environment

[@ZachAlanProductions]

Thanks! If possible I think the best approach is to film on location and capture a 360 HDRI/environment map on set. That way the actor is already in the real environment, and the CGI can accurately reflect the environment.

[@cybersamurai7932]

@@ZachAlanProductions i agree although having to have a 360 camera and a camera that can take different exposures means that this option isn't always accessible.

[@dion9781]

this model really lacks imperfections, dust, scratches etc, the arms are always crisp and sharp which gives it away that its 100 percent cgi, i think if you worked on that it would look even more amazing

For sure! A picture would be easier than a video since you wouldn't have to do any motion tracking or animation

Can we get a tutorial where the arms are completely behind us? I need it for a film

[@ZachAlanProductions]

The process is very similar if you have a green screen. It can actually be a bit easier since you don't see where the arms connect to the body, so any tracking and alignment doesn't have to be perfect. What part of the process are you unsure about?

[@therealgarciagamer]

@@ZachAlanProductions im trying to recreate the scene where Ock says "Looks like we got competition" and I don't know if the trackers have to be in front of me or if i can animate it freely.

[@ZachAlanProductions]

@@therealgarciagamer In that case you could animate the arms freely since you can't see where they attach. Tracking markers aren't necessary, but you can still utilize tracking. Just track some detail on your clothing to get the rough movement

Yo nothing makes CGI look worse than artificial lens flares- if you add them every time theres a CGI shot but then theres rarely ever any lens flares (of that intensity) in non CGI shots it makes it super obvious and artificial.
