ONE REQUEST: Kindly make blender full free course on youtube. In this explain every things exit on blender. THANKS. If you will do that GOD will give you 10 times more in your life as things. As written in Holy books. " If you will give free some thing GOD will give you 10 times more same thing." Of you want to be more better in blender you should make blender full free course on youtube. In this course you will explain every things exit on blender (all the things you know). THANKS.

‘What you see is all that matters…’ This is so true!!

[@Crabnuts]

cheating to camera is legitimately my favourite thing in animation, its always so fun to see what weird and whacky ways you can contort your character to get a nice silhouette lol thank you for the awesome video! I'm definitely very guilty of bashing my head on a shot I'm working on rather than trying a new method 💀

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Yeah, that's complicated to switch method when you're grinding something. I discovered the method afterward, and I was like I wished I knew it before. And some friends then told me they were using the same trick. 🤦‍♂️

[@ukmonk]

Yeah would love a more detailed video showing your stepped workflow please Pierrick!

[@cowbless]

This is something that's really in line with my recent thoughts as I was watching ATLA. 2D artists distort space all the time to make the shot that they need, and I noticed a lot of "spatial inconsistencies" that actually don't break immersion, but they enhance the feeling of each shot. You know, stuff like "let's make the king's palace look like it's an insurmountable megacity" in the beginning of the fight, and make it look and feel smaller when you need to place characters inside/near it for a fight scene. So for 2D artists the hard thing to do is to keep consistency, whereas for 3D artists it (should) kinda be the opposite - play around with your objects and scenes to enhance the perspective, to match the desired composition exactly, to make spaces and characters feel like something. I'm super digging your animations for this very reason and I hope I'll be able to do something in the same spirit one day

[@MeteorCat1]

Epic work as always man!

[@meijinsigma8913]

"Stepped animation process?" Yes please.

[@bigboss9150]

I always did the opposite and I would parent the camera to the character rig. To do the exact opposite and parent the character to the camera changes everything. Holy crap, I can't believe I never thought of that. This really changes everything. Thanks Pierrick!

[@insane3953]

Really love this video. My suggestion for next tutorial that COuld be amazing because is impossible find something very useful on YT: - How to use camera for complex animation (When follow curve, when use Rig camera, when parent camera etc..) - Trick to save time (Your trick to animate mountain rocks)

[@sambamproductions8883]

What's crazy is how useful and practical your advice is. Thanks a ton, Pierrick!

[@XINN1X]

Please make a more in depth video on your stepped animation process! love this

[@GlitchmanVGM]

Amazing video!! Wow! You're really an expert at this! 🤩

[@insipidpanda6097]

Man, would i like a full course for this style.

[@yourqualia6341]

Would loooove to hear more about this. You inspire me!!

[@ishegeek]

I purchased the rigging course a few days ago and have been loving it! Can't wait to get through the course and then to the animation course!

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Thanks for your support!

[@nadaart386]

Thank you so much for this explanation,I am really interested is stylized animation style like spider verse and others, it will be amazing to explain more in depth the animating on 2s process especially with the camera movement due to the lack of tutorials out there .

[@ichabod15]

Comprehensive and masterfully summed up, well done !

[@fadepanther6224]

I've got your animation course, (Which I am... still working on. Perfectionism got in the way) your first rigging course, (Which I completed and have been using some of the tricks even now) and the version 2 of your rigging course, (which I am working on now.) That said, tying the root of the character to the camera is a wonderful thing. Even if you slow things down and just have a character walking through a street, having the character tied to the camera means you can care less about making the walk look right while also moving the camera and then focus more on the feel of the scene. Awesome stuff. Thank you for sharing this very useful trick for free. ^^

[@sobreaver]

You drive my mind crazy !! Your animations are awesome ! I walk around animating in my mind, I just have no patience sitting around animating :! Keep going on, I love your work.

[@DamielBE]

Un tutoriel pour reproduire le muzzle flash des mitraillettes des robots serait une bonne idée, aussi, et serait un bon complément à celui sur les VFX stylisés.

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

C'est prévu :)

[@Magnum44357]

Great vidéo ! It's hard to cheat when you don't have enough experience, but moving the cliff/environment without moving the character and the main environment is a great idea and I'm going to use it for later !

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

That's the thing.... The more experienced, the more you cheat!

[@GG-TP]

I would like to purchase the Rigging and Animation course, but I am facing an issue. Your courses are only available with English subtitles, and my language is Arabic. Therefore, I kindly request your assistance in adding Arabic language support. I am very interested in buying your courses, but the translation being only in English is a problem for me as my language is Arabic. Could you please add Arabic so that I can purchase the Rigging and Animation course? I am in great need of these courses and would appreciate your help.

[@ranasohel9194]

Comtact me ,,, I have his both course and I can teach you personally,, I live in Dubai too

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

I'm sorry but my courses are subtitled in 10 different languages and I can't afford to add more subtitles.

[@kordaling]

You can use google translate to automatically translate all the text on a webpage in real time. The subtitles will be in your native language.

[@GG-TP]

@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN My friend, This is an excellent investment. There are around one billion Arabic speakers around the world, and many of them are interested in the field of 3D design. If you translate your courses into Arabic, I will be the first to buy two courses from you, and there are many other Arabs who will buy your courses as well. Think about it carefully, you will benefit people and make a lot of money from the Arab market. In the Arab community, there is a significant lack of educational content related to animation and rigging. This lack presents a great opportunity for you. So, take advantage of this opportunity. I wish you the best of luck.

Can you please cover how you plan for staging and camera when making Slow-motion? How you ramp in and out, plan for fx, and how you revise any of it if you need to change timing?? Awesome work as always!

[@donta42]

@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN Yes! I also did watch that one - great video!! I was hoping to understand your workflow around how you plan for slow motion "camera AND posing" for slow motion segments. What is your thought process as you decide which areas get slow motion treatment. And how do you manage retiming of all the character and camera elements as you experiment? I would LOVE to see a tutorial walkthrough video on that one! Cheers!! Thank you for your response Pierrick!

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

@@donta42 honestly, I just try…. You can plan it definitely, when you have big action, but the thought process is like « a slow would be cool here ! » and I just offset the keys, spacing them. It gives you a raw look and then you polish the slow mo as a regular animation. You can also do that with the NLA, cuting strips and changing their timing.

[@donta42]

[@maple-blade]

We would most definitely like some tuts on how to approach an animated short, im still a beginner so some stuff like baking frames went over my head. But the technique of parenting the root bone to the camera blew my mind. Ofcourse im sure u used multiple cameras as most people do, Ive learned a bunch of stuff from Dillon Gu and just last year he revealed that he literally uses only one camera even for multiple shots, dont know if he sticks to that even now. But I definitely would like this updated workflow of yours in more detail. Since u said u dont use grease pencil for the vfx pass, that perplexed me, since i only ever use GP 😅

[@pablofournier8664]

nice job!!!!

[@syakirflynnick]

i love thesee

[@Shka_maru]

Yay! You showed the breakdown like you said you would 🥹 just curious how you made the animated cubes with array modifier? Like, did you input a random number and play with the Z location till it felt right? Was this a similar process in the shot when Kibali throws his blade and it spins like a boomerang?

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Yep, just moving the cubes up till it feels right. For the blade the camera and the blades move. But it was way easier to animate as it’s on ones… using the graph editor.

[@hexadzn]

Hey pierric can you help me? When I move the root, it comes with the spear, but I want it to go separately. Can you help me? I'm a little bad at that. Can you help me, I don't understand the text very well? In the trident rig, when the root moves, the sword moves, but I only want the root to move and when the parent does 1, 2, I want it to snap to the hand.

[@devlinwekesa7295]

About the parenting of the character to the camera did constrain the whole rig or the root bone only?

[@kenseikc]

Pablo cameo!!??!!

[@ukmonk]

When you parent your character to camera (for the stepped method), do you have an empty on your model or just parent the root control to the camera please?

[@Onyhh]

Pier whats the best way to rig a NeckTie the problem comes when u want to implement a wiggle simulation the last bone of the hierarchy is always parented to its previous so i dont have a way to set both sides of the chain to be linked to something so the simulation doesnt fall. I tried to constraints the location of the last bone related to the first bone but the simulation stills falls something is not adding up i know im doing something wrong and i came here to ask u if u know some kind of trick. Btw Sick video

[@boymotion01]

Hey i'm facing straight slop problem in the graph editor of Blender 4.1 , it's interpolation is bezier but still it is straight. It is very difficult to polish the animation. Can you provide the solution?

[@aritraa-p2v]

wow....

[@littledemo3605]

is there physics based auto complete as that in cascadeur inside blender?

[@Damian_DH]

Pier im still using the workflow from Blender 2.8 / 3.6 ver. Do you think is worth upgrading to Blender 4.0+?. Some addons are long gone and rigging is not an easy process thats why i feel like i should skip some versions and keep working in the old ones.

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Well, You'll get use to it really quick I believe. I enjoy the new blender versions.
