Learn How to Make A Cute Duck in Blender

[@EclipseAnimationStudio]

You can turn go to the bone data tab and turn off deform on bones you don’t want to affect the mesh when you skin the duck. That way when you skin the duck, it should not be affected by those bones. Also awesome tutorial!!!!

I did my own version after the dognut tutorial and some more 3d modeling and I feel its was the perfect tutorial to follow after

[@vicoozator]

While others are doing 3-hour tutorials on hard surface techniques, in 5 seconds you've summed it up by doing random extrusions and bevels. There's no need for anything more, it's perfect, thank you, I want more!

[@nocluse1]

Those techniques are useful if you wanna get into the industry!

[@Skwibbel]

Even before watching I immediately saved it to my "favorite blender tutorial" playlist

[@undefwun2135]

As a newbie this was super helpful. I don't know how other ppl process information, cos I'm a bit neurospicy, but often when I learn from various tutorials I get info or concepts and they are kind of compartmentalised and I feel lost because I don't know how the various concepts connect to get to where I need to go. This video gave me a much better understanding of the total process, how modeling interacts with animation, things to keep in mind and a general roadmap of things to learn. Outside of some specific concepts (for me it was the IKs and FKs) this was not that hard to follow. I should also mention, your voice over to me was also great. Good pace, good explanations. So thank you, excellent video. I welcome our new Duck overlords.

[@nocluse1]

Glad you found it helpful! I'll add some links to some good rigging tutorials in the description as well.

[@vicoozator]

Yeah totally agree ! After months of watching long tutorials without being able to really apply them, your video cleared up in one fell swoop most of the concepts a hobbyist needs to know about blender. Keep going !

[@rg8125]

Didn't notice how recent was the video, what a great timing. It was a bit hard to follow but because I just started learning blender 4 months ago, but with a bit of more research to be able to follow, in 2 days I was able to make my own version and now I feel like I can do anything. Thank you so much for the video, will be waiting for more!

@ 15:00 you can keep your origins intact if you override the mesh origin by using an empty. There's an option for that in the modifier.

[@r1pperuk]

Nice work. Nice render quality as well.

[@nocluse1]

@@r1pperuk Thanks!

[@ryad_raba]

this was a great video here's what I'd suggest 1 - use the rename addon "Simple renaming Panel" , its an addon that helps you to rename objects or bones and it can add suffixes to bones 2 - for IK bone and poll target you can go to the bone propeties and turn off deform. this way it won't have any weight value on the mesh 3 - in weight paint mode, under options you can turn on auto-normalize, this way whenever you paint a value on a vert in one vertext group that value would be removed from all other vertext groups

[@nocluse1]

Thanks! I never knew you could remove from other very groups while weight painting, that is actually super helpful

[@sufiboi]

you can name all the bones together by selecting them all in pose mode and then click on edit tab > batch rename then selecting bones instead of object. the. typing bone in the first prompt and bone-r/L in the second prompt

[@nocluse1]

[@IntoTheFogProductions]

[@idiaz502]

Yay. Finally!

[@zarblitz]

You can setup the IK before skinning, but just make sure the disable Deform for the IK and pole target bones so they won't get weights associated to them. EDIT: should have checked comments first. Leaving it to increase odds someone who needs it finds it.

I'm new to blender but blender has a built in feature to naming bones L/R. In edit mode on the bones if you just select all the bones and right click, under names is autoname bones left/right. Not sure if the model has to be centered on origin though.

You can disable "deform" in the IK bones' properties so you don't have to un-paint them.

Awsome Bro 🤩🤩

[@Dogno94]

For the Weight Paint section u can turn off Deform on IK Bones before parenting the Duck or just Use Auto-normalize when u paint. For the robotic part u can parent objects to armature as different objects and join them after if u want to keep all in one mesh keeping the existing weight

Hi do you need a website?

[@Hiraproductionsofficial]

How much time it take to make plzzz reply.

[@nocluse1]

The tutorial? Maybe about a month on and off. I started making it with almost 0 experience with making voiceover videos. During the process, I included a 5-minute Blender crash course, which turned into its own 20 minute video. Making the crash course taught me a lot about voice recording and video editing, so when I came back to this tutorial, I redid almost everything from scratch. If you're asking about the original duck animation, it took me about 2-3 days. The majority of it was sound design.

[@Hiraproductionsofficial]

@@nocluse1 bro your voice is very clear and energetic. I always worry about why I can't finish my project us one day but your words give my lesson to be patient.

[@D4leBryant]

Way too fast for me one nano-second your sculpting and then voila perfect topology. I must really suck!

[@nocluse1]

Actually the first time I modeled the duck for the original animation, I didn't sculpt at all. I just modeled from a cube with a subdivision surface modifier. If you space out your edge loops right and choose smart places to put insets / extrusions, you can have perfect topology just by poly modeling!

[@D4leBryant]

​@nocluse1 I was thinking I must be missing something with the dynamic topo and remesh functions wondering what wizardry you used to obtain the topo at @2:09 after sculpting. Thanks for clarifying. How do you get down off a duck? You don't, you get down off a goose. LOL Just occured to me that if you see this bird coming at you you had better duck.
