TOAnimate Store Cinematic | A Blender Marketplace for Animators

[@BrianKouhi]

Hope you enjoyed the little cinematic we made for TOAnimate Store! Head on over to www.toanimate.ca/store to see all the awesome Blender rigs we offer :)

[@BergsArt]

The problem with a lot of rigs I buy, is that it usually doesn’t come with pickers. I so prefer having bone pickers to animate with. And most of the time, i have to custom make pickers to the rigs i buy because they don’t usually have it. I hope this market place also includes pickers for the rigs, because I really just want to start animating.

[@BrianKouhi]

Though having a picker with pre-made selection sets is handy, it's not a necessity for animation. We have developed a picker for Blender, which our animation students currently have access to and are testing it. Our students also get a pre-made picker for the characters as well as a pose library of different facial expressions and hand gestures. We'll be releasing the picker to the public for free in the near future, but our asset store rigs won't come with custom made pickers at this time.

One of the things I really like about your ship cockpit is how much implied complexity there is. You have kind of Nasa / Commercial airlines button panels, but without nearly as many buttons as real consoles have. It still feels like they're there though. That's something I need to work on with my own stylized works.

[@bigboss9150]

That's actually a sick idea! You're scratching an itch that most Blender animators have. Can't wait to see this evolve over time, too.

[@BrianKouhi]

Oh we have tons of assets planned to come :) We decided to make the thing we always wanted ourselves, and hoped the community would find it helpful as well.

[@BrianKouhi]

Congrats guys! Much success with the new store! 💪💪

[@BrianKouhi]

Thankyou!

[@vikipretium]

You guys are best of the best 🙌

[@SubsurfaceTalks]

The store launch... the trailer... it's no random coincidence! The whole thing is rigged! 🤣

[@bmd_videos]

Lol

[@BrianKouhi]

🤯

[@SubsurfaceTalks]

@@BrianKouhi amazing job!

[@roxzmszx]

Yes sir!!! So glad it came

[@BrianKouhi]

😁😁

[@Abundance100]

This is amazing. You could add rigs of items that come in multiple forms, like guns, cars, planes, clothes etc.🤔.

[@BrianKouhi]

The marketplace will launch with over 25 rigged assets, ranging from characters, vehicles and guns to regular props. All assets will be animation ready, high-quality rigs :)

[@pelakalion]

I had never imagined that impulsive side of May xDDDD

[@BrianKouhi]

😅😅

Hei hei! I bought both the courses while they were on Kickstarter the first time. Since the courses come with a multitude of rigs already, is there a way to easily check which rigs has to be bought via the asset store? Like for example the the rifle rig (I think I didn‘t saw that rig in the courses)? Keep up the good work. You and your team are pushing blender animation real hard and I like it. 🎉

[@BrianKouhi]

Hey, you can check both the Blender Basics and animation course curriculum's "Downloadable Assets" sections to see the available rigs. Majority of the rigs on the store should be available to you as a student. One of the few that isn't available for students is the Assault Rifle Rig. Cheers!

[@secretgaminggg]

Hey brain when did you will going to upload the rig ( advanced rig ) tutorials. Does it based on the new characters or the old one you have .

[@GuyanaToons]

can the rigs be used on custom characters I created on my own?

[@Feefunn]

I also have the same question, it's a pity it's not replied.

[@donaldmog]

Can I ask again , what kind of rig do you use ?

[@BrianKouhi]

Hey, not sure how to answer that question. Could you explain what you mean by "what kind of rig"? Are you asking what program the rigs are for? are you asking what the rigging process was for... the props? the characters? or are you asking something else?

[@donaldmog]

Like rigify or auto rig ?​@@BrianKouhi
