yes

[@SouthernShotty]

I will do this.

[@XxyGoddam]

It's almost like a petition lol

[@XxyGoddam]

I came in when it was exactly 100 and I ruined it making it 101 lol

[@XxyGoddam]

And somebody just removed one like so it's back to 100 wtf

A couple quick tips for rigging quality of life: overlapping bones? Click on the bone when holding alt/opt; it will bring up a menu that allows you to select precisely what you want. And instead of increasing the envelope size of the bones you can use the cumbersome hotkeys "shift+opt+cmd+s" and will let you scale the B-bone appearance, without affecting position or actual size. Made really for ease of using the rig.

I transitioned from Maya to Blender 5 years ago. But rigging is still something that I keep going back to Maya for. Finally a good rigging tutorial for Blender that starts from scratch and not an automated plugin. Thanks! Hope you do more of this!

[@SouthernShotty]

Glad I could help!

[@IvanFuentesHagar]

Thank you so much! Very clear, concise, quick and to the point! I've always loved animating with rubberhose limbs in 2D, started Blender a few weeks ago and really wanted to do this. I did feel a little limited by the knees/elbows influence, so I ended up duplicating each, assigning one for limb start and end respectively, essentially creating 3D beziers.

[@richstubbsanimation]

Adding two damped track constraints to create a pseudo pole vector constraints is genius! I've always wondered if there was a way to manipulate the middle of bendy bones, and now I know!!

[@SouthernShotty]

Haha thanks! I spent forever playing with ideas

[@Hecker9974]

That's how I learned it from Bootstrap Buckaroo. Dude made insane minecraft rigs back in the day

[@WaterShowsProd]

When I saw the intro that was exactly what I was eager to learn about. As he was building the rig I realised where it was going, but really the parenting is also key to this rig (well, it always is).

[@LaphyTaphyCreation]

As someone who wants to learn animation, I think this is the best way to start out, thx

[@shern92]

Can wait for the rigging one, this is what I've been looking for months, fits my art style perfectly than the regular rig.

[@rachelshelby2814]

I'm sure someone else has mentioned this, but protip you can select all the bones you want to give .L, then go armature > names > auto-name left/right.

[@CalebNatale]

Saving this for later because I'm so curious

[@SouthernShotty]

Thanks for stopping by, always excited to see a friendly face

[@thatcasual8]

The weight painting I've tried has been a nightmare! Looking forward to that tutorial.

[@Aotte]

YOUR TUTORIALS ARE NEXT LEVEL....................

[@mathancreates]

DUDE YOUR TUTORIAL TOPICS ARE CRAZY GOOD

[@SouthernShotty]

Glad you like them!

[@noriega211]

Great video. I enjoyed your explanation of the bendy bones setup. ❤

[@HampsterGirl]

Keep up the character creation related tutorials! I love them

[@fionanimations]

i love your videos 😀 thank you for inspiring me to do some animations in blender 😊

[@SouthernShotty]

Happy to hear that!

[@EliousEntertainment]

This is awesome! I’ve always wanted to do more stylized animation with blender. Imma use this tutorial for something I just don’t know what yet!

[@alexxkrehmen772]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you! I’ve learned some really useful tricks 😊 One small concern though: « forward » is moving along Y+ not Y- This inversion may cause issues later, notably when exporting to games engines.

[@conicodeliacartoons]

First, And I love your work!!💖

[@DoofsVRshorts]

Second

[@SouthernShotty]

Thank you 😄

[@dustinrolstad752]

Nice. Thanks for making this.

[@ChrishyChrishShorts]

I’ve legit been waiting for a vid like this and I was about to give up on doing rubber hose animation

[@Xalkomak347]

I needed this tutorial, or I would've gone crazy trying to animate my character.

[@jameswilson4979]

this is great, thank you

[@SouthernShotty]

You're very welcome!

[@a.j.outlaster1222]

This is cool, I might use it at some point, Thx!

[@GORILLAmation]

Saving for later! 🤗

[@stibbits7087]

Great tutorial!. Can you explain why you used the child-of constraint instead of just making the bones a child of the other bone?

[@liquid_img]

Thanks for tutorial! Very helpfull! I`m wondering if I can add controller to a fat belly so I can manipulate the fatness direction) How do you think I should do it? The same way as you did knee or elbow? Or it some other way to do it?

[@Slightlyfunnyvideo]

Thank you so much❤

[@TheNei]

Cool! Thanks!

[@forestlong1]

Super! Thanks!

[@AlUser3460]

Hello, I like your content! you made a blender toutrial on how to make rock material, I think it was for blender 3.0 and it dosent work in blendder 4.0 I hope you make a new version cause I think it got outdated

[@H.KAnimationStudios]

Thanks for the tutorial, informativ and geniusly good 😃🧑‍💻

[@posete-yazik]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial But I don't know to deal with fingers. they mess up every time I tried to rig them with bendy bones

[@alirezaei3162]

i'm using this, thank you but i cant rotate "root bone" 90 degree or 180 degree without ruining armature

[@alocrisis]

having the same issue ..please did you find a solution to this

[@alirezaei3162]

@@alocrisis I did rotate and move every single bone after rotating the root bone and worked for my purpose but i found another tutorial for bendy bone and i guess it'll work properly , tutorial is in p2design's site

Same

[@eobet]

Crazy how many steps you need to do such a simple thing. Another area where the Blender UX is not optimized.

[@Tomy_Yon]

This will be very useful when I want everything to wiggle and jiggle. 😊

[@hellbrush]

Thank you!!!

[@jorgesorbara]

Awesome! I love rubber hose style. Is there any way to make an IK on this leg rig?

[@Dre2fish]

Thank you i Need this Tutorial Bad!!!!!!!

[@SouthernShotty]

Happy to help!

[@Ahmed_AX99]

Amazing Tutorial, But when i rotate the rig in object mode it rotates in a weird way same for the hips

[@Willustrator]

Awesome!

[@SouthernShotty]

Thanks!

[@hemanthsatyendravilluri4799]

This is really cool! Can you please say how to get that line thing! Explain in detail please

[@SouthernShotty]

I have a tutorial on that. It's the line art modifier.

[@aintzanewilma1269]

not sure if this is my own fault or a slight error in the tutorial, but I believe on 9:52, the H.End.L should be parented to A.End.L and not to Body.End, because otherwise, I cannot move the hand like shown in 20:31

[@nikolas4749]

Is it a serie on rubber hose animation that you plan to do ?

[@electricalfork]

you made a cuphead ˜~cuuuuuuuuute˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜˜ and the detailed tutorial with explaination is fantastic everytime !

[@SouthernShotty]

Thank you so much 😀

[@titouanbessiere9336]

BRO ARE YOU SPYYYINNGGG ON ME RN, I do thé exact same project for my finals semester workflow due to tommorow and now my profesor will blame me for copy, life is hard

[@Goldenleyend]

If I want only the limbs to be rubber hose and the body one static mesh (no neck or head), how many bones do I have to add to the body?

[@maddisonstewart]

is there a part2?

[@skullface215]

Tried to make the head bone also a bendy bone and the fake head elbow I've made for the head does not deform the head at all.. Set it up just like the leg bone and parented it to the neck but it acts weird... totally stumped. The head end bone also freaks out when I move the neck :/

[@Brick_is_cool]

Epik :D

[@BrickGiant629YT]

Can I download this?

[@knowledgebasedecision2544]

hey i love your video, your watermelon girl movie too. do you have any tutorial to create a freely moving mouth like rubber hose.

[@SouthernShotty]

Hmmm. Not yet. Maybe soon.

[@knowledgebasedecision2544]

@@SouthernShotty i am blender beginner and i am desperately searching for this tutorial, haven't found anything till now and i finally see in your tutorial. Please help me, i will be very grateful.

[@Anonymouthful]

Do you have a tutorial on how to make the Cuphead character itself?

[@SouthernShotty]

Nope. Maybe I should make one. It's not very hard.

[@Anonymouthful]

@@SouthernShotty The would be great, always wanted to learn making cartoony characters like this in 3D.

[@ROBOTRIX_eu]

[@songramchowdhury2357]

the problem with your tutoreal is it not complete peocess..i also do your skillshere course but there also same problem repet..

[@zaow]

hey, fun fact ; i have noting to say ;-;

[@hubertdendraak4557]

Helpful tutorial, but I found it hard having to listen how you "go ahead" every 10 seconds. If I were a drinker I'd make it a drinking game (but get totally wasted in five minutes flat). You're a good teacher, but please and for the sake of our children, stop saying you'll "go ahead"! Go ahead, I dare you! ;-)

[@funnyberries4017]

this is great, but I have a complaint with the way you do tutorials. You always show the end result too quickly. You didn't show what the point of adding those segments to the hands and feet were. It would be nice if the beginning of the video spent more time showing the final results, so that the viewer can decide if this is the right tutorial for them

[@SouthernShotty]

It's a balance. Some people complain I go too slow. Some too fast. I personally, would rather just do 45 minute tutorials and explain everything. But unfortunately nobody watches my videos when I do that. Thanks for the feedback
