any chance for a coupon, I want to learn from you sensei :)

[@jadonmullinex9389]

I''ve purchased two of Pierrick's courses and this knowledge is INSANE! Easily my favorite animation content creator!

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Thanks for your support!

[@fifdesign89]

i just can confirm, that the course quality is really high!

[@Blendercage]

I’ve been using Bonera for this. Not only does it have all the other rigging features, like one click generating IK setups, and one click duplicate and constraint, but all the custom bone shapes actually use the icon gallery so you can see what you’re using. It’s a superior tool by far.

[@SomsaiArts]

Thanks for sharing! I'll look into this. Love any tools that make my life easier.

[@LimitlessAnimation]

I've been trying to understand how custom shapes work for a while now. Thank you so much for bringing this to light! You're the greatest!

[@fergadelics]

Making / using custom shapes is one of those things I’ll do even if I don’t need to because it’s makes the rig more fun

[@markusberg195]

The add-on has been updated with many new features since this video came out. Ability to export and import your custom widgets, widget preview images etc. Definitely worth checking out.

[@jujuboohoo]

0:30 LOL 😁😅 Congrats! Your Alive course is fantastic.

[@methodtomymaddness9081]

Just purchased Art of Effective Rigging and can't wait to get into it!!

[@LondonTessaAngelit]

Thanks for this. This mod is super simple, really helpful and fun. I actually had fun tweaking my rig.

[@kenzietownsend6644]

That was good. Its a recommended addon for the AOER2 course but didn't know it could do custom shapes.

[@RyanLykos]

After enrolling onto the rigging and "Alive" courses by Pierrick, I can definitely recommend them to anyone that wants to learn those skills. Very interesting and informative. Thank you Pierrick

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Thanks :)

[@TimeTravel-0]

exactly what I was looking for!

[@GandRaya]

Woahh, that would be a huge time-saver, thanks!

[@procrastinator24]

this is really great! definitely wanna use that :)

[@CrafToonSquareMinecraft]

Hi, I've seen transparent solid shapes which are easier to grab than those that only have an outline. I'm wondering how they do it, because when I put them in solid mode they cover the entire object.

[@Ink_and_Motion_Studio]

Definitely a must have tool.

[@GabrielVez]

thank you for sharing this nice addon. I don't know if you tried it before but the addon animaide is also one of those free hidden gem addons for blender that can improve the animation refining and iteration process. I highly recommend it for all intermediate to veteran animators.

[@kirillsklyar]

Give me some advice. I'm just starting to delve into this world of animation. Which of this author's courses is better to watch first. Rigging, and then animation. Or vice versa?

[@RebelSee]

Awesome video and addon. Thanks! 🎉

[@SMA503]

YES YES YES!!! Keep up the great work!

[@WaterShowsProd]

Looks like a great time-saver.

[@rajveertomar3599]

Is there any way to make a bone's head and tail point follow curve

[@TomasHradckyComposer]

So very helpful. Thank you.

[@bUildYT]

how did u make these tiny bone jiggle imperfections that make the robot look heavy, with wiggle bone addon?

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Nope, no addon. Hand keyed and space switching :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJCQdJupp79rnJI

[@bUildYT]

@@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN damn, my respect for u went even higher, u r a great teacher and congrats for 100k subs :)

[@gomolemomolefhi8929]

Hey Peirrick! I've always wondered, how do you put bones for the movement of a human model and bones specifically for the smears such as stretching the arm and stuff. I saw those custom bones for your spiderman OC model and tried it on my own but not sure how to go about it..any tips and know hows?

[@gameplayontamil2879]

Thank you my master 🙏😄

[@siwatbas]

If I nerver use blender can I start with your animation course? Or I need to go to some blender basic first?

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

You’ll need to know some basics not to get lost with the UI

[@gonderage]

Man, I wish I knew how to get clean rig UIs like yours. I've just been using Bone Layer Manager for UI

[@andreicristian7845]

Hi there! Any advices on what to avoid in a character model? I'm trying to make my main character for my 3d isometric game, and have a bunch of ideas for kimonos, robes, stuff like that, but I know I will struggle a lot to animate those, especially since I am a beginner 😢 any tips on how to come around this, or what else to avoid? ANYTHING WOULD BE GREAT YES I'M DESPERATE.

[@bayroot7385]

I only wish we could see content from you more often.

[@TheEx404]

September 19 2023 I used this widget and honestly its really handy. I tested in my personal project 3D character. But only 1 issue, i dont know why i got python script error when i try to symmetrize shape only for that 1 shape. Other bone shape i can symmetrize perfectly, just only 1 cant. So the solution i made is click that bone, choose shape from library as usual, edit it and done... Big thanks to person who bring this widget and thanks to Pierrick for demonstrate this widget ..❤❤❤

[@pikicharms]

I followed along, but the "create" button is greyed out for me no matter what bone I select! Please help!

[@MrVanKappen]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sky_tails]

I have question and request. I was saw video on twitter about make amiantion start using cube and after that attract the cube with character. Can you make tutorial how to do that maybe little bit explaining too about layering method on make animation.

[@bardiDev]

[@victorgvilar126]

Is It not possible to change the shapes colors? Anyway, nice addon, thanks!

[@PierrickPicaut_P2DESIGN]

Yes, you can using bone groups

[@toriigatedigital]

is this required for blender 4.1?

[@EditOnRel3ase]

that poor silver play button

[@spittingame4241]

Can you make a video about how you can swap/change female character's shoes from HIGH HEELS, SNEAKERS, BOOTS, FLAT FOOTED like in open world games like GTA, Saints Row etc. That is much needed and you will be a hero to the community.

[@MazyarElf]
