Who is Gimberly? - Doodley

[@doodley3d]

A quick note about Gimberly v2! A few people have asked about the Maya exclusivity: The reason for that is because rigging in Blender is very, very different from Maya and would be an entirely different rig from scratch. And I don't have much rigging experience in Blender, so even if it was created for both, I wouldn't be able to offer support for a Blender version. However, if someone created a Blender version of the rig as a few people have offered, I don't have any issues with that as long as it's released under the same license (which means, if it uses my model/skeleton, it must also be released for free non-commercial educational use with attribution). I can't offer any official support for that "unofficial" Blender rig, but it's totally fine with me if someone wants to make that. I realize Maya is not free like Blender is, but it's what I use and can stand by for the Gimberly rig. I love Blender and it's community, so apologies! I'm just married to Maya. And you can always use Maya Educational (free with an edu email), or Maya Indie ($300 a year for independent/learning use).

[@L1K34PR0]

The blender version should be called gimby :)

[@LandonEmma]

Thats ok, I can just export to blender! :D most of us modders use Maya nowadays too so I understand!

[@shrimpmusket9930]

Hey, you mentioned some hair and fabric physics and I would be pretty interested in a video. It was hell for me to deal with minor fabric physics for a small project, I was just curious about your thoughts and takes on when and how to use it. Thanks for reading this if you did.

[@doodley3d]

@@shrimpmusket9930 Try to simplify any simulations you do as much as possible by driving high poly simulations with low poly, simple objects -- Gimberly's ponytail is driven by a very low poly plane that has nCloth physics, where I use the vertex points to position and rotate the joints that drive the high poly mesh. Hopefully that makes sense!

I love how much goes into creating a character. It’s not something viewers usually think about, but it's honestly something I love seeing other creatives do.

[@doodley3d]

And I think detailing the process indirectly helps audiences realize how much work goes into even simple things! People can sometimes take for granted how much careful thought goes into really small details to create a much bigger art direction.

[@bloodyidit4506]

It’s both simple and complex, because feelings are complex and the artist’s intent is communicated in an instant in thoughts that operate in his or her own shorthand language. Everyone has this quality. The biggest mistake is thinking you can’t do it too. You can. It is not a monumental task. Just one that requires work and some dedication.

Character design is one of my passions, and I always love seeing someone else's workflow into making their own character.

Designing characters with intentional details like that is what makes the most original character designs imo.

I know you've probably gotten a thousand comments like this one, but I really enjoy that you decided to have Gimberly react as a person, rather than just being a puppet for demonstrating 3D concepts. Like... how she hears you talking about her ponytail, does a silent "oh!", and turns to show said ponytail. Or how (at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="224">3:44</a>), she twirls into position in the lineup of her previous model iterations. Or in the arms video, where she demonstrates her hand being stuck in place by pulling on it. I love all of those little details.

I love your little Vtuber. Its got a nice real time movement contrast to the carefully animated stuff that gives off a "Hey this is more casual content" vibe

[@PenguinGunnerProductions]

Even though I have no formal education in any animation, I immediately knew how much effort went into Gimberly’s design. From the red and blue separation of right and left to the fun XYZ hairpin. It’s a great character.

[@ppowersteef]

This is like my first or second video I'm watching of yours. But I already love the channel. Gimberly is super cute and it's simplistic design really makes her stand out. It kinda reminds me of Jenny from My Life as a Teenage Robot in a way. Seeing a few other videos, and she has a lot of charm. Interacting with the surrounding UI or stretching her neck after doing a T-pose really gives her a lively character. Looking forward watching more of her!

[@HappyBoiTaranza]

Oh you know EXACTLY what I'm thinking But in all seriousness, thank you. I'm in a Game Art University and one thing I didn't expect was to do 3D models (makes sense honestly), so your videos will be VERY useful to me when we have to rig (and definitely more stuff), THANKS! ^^

[@Mikenkanikal]

Unsure how feasible it would be, but if her hair tie was for sale I would totally buy one. I love how it looks and it would just be cool in general. Loving the uploads! You’re one of my favorite KZbinrs already.

[@doodley3d]

YES, to be honest I have a short list of "dream merch" and that hair tie is on there! I'll figure it out myself with my 3D printer if I have to. And thank you!

I adore how simple yet informative and welcoming your videos have been. Im that kid who always watches the special features of every movie i get my hands on, just to see all the aspects on how there made, and it always amazes me on how much work goes into something as making an object move or an art style. Even tho i have no plans on becoming a 3D animator, ill still watch all your content because of how fun and inspiring they all are UvU

[@scallywagthe4th40]

I found this via youtube shorts and I cant stop watching even though I have no clue how to animate you are REALLY good at making content.

[@michaelbillingham5580]

I can very much see you becoming an amazing source for people trying to learn 3d animation stuff, particularly for newcomers trying out for the first time. These videos are so fun, expressive and simple to understand and learn from that I can see so much more and I really hope that happens

[@peovpou_vpk]

i want to make it as a daily schedule to watch one video of yours a day, your voice is very calming and the tips and opinions of your’s are awesome!

[@saviorofjoy8117]

Hey, I just wanted to say, I plan on becoming an indie game developer. I'm currently working on a 2D JRPG, but plan on branching out into more 3D work once I'm more comfortable with the basics and after I have at least 1 little project under my belt. Even for a person like me, that isn't yet working on a 3D game, your work is incredible and so fun to watch. Most of the tutorials I need for programming are great in their own right, but nothing comes CLOSE to the quality of your animation tutorials. Almost every one of your videos that I've watched, I still remember every last detail because they're just that entertaining. Sorry for the rambling, but I just want to say keep up the great work with your content, it's all top tier stuff! :D

[@simonhebert4089]

I just can't get enough of the appeal in your videos! And since you mentioned Rhythm Heaven that makes a lot of sense why there's so much charm on Gimberly too! I've almost 100% all of them lol Really well done on designing Gimberly, really cute name and I love the design idea with the red and blue sides! Not as comfortable in animating or designing in 3d style, but i'm willing to learn :P Can't wait to see more of your content! :D

[@leg2445]

i find ur videos much more different than other animators, the music and the display of the images and videos you show us makes it more interesting or maybe the way you talk calmly but in a way that you also understand what you say really easily

[@maush.]

I love how this is so down to earth yet so advanced in its concepts. Its simple but effective and oozes personality. I love this channel and hope more people notice it

[@jettvalen7326]

As someone who's never watched your videos before, I am very impressed with this visual demonstration! It's rather entertaining to watch and I absolutely love how all these differing elements are able to be gelled together rather seamlessly. You my friend have earned yourself another subscriber!
