Lazy Tutorial - Easy IK Rigging in Blender IanHubert 2021-01-25 | patreon.com/IanHubertExtended Version Here: youtu.be/I6xOT17NtRQJust a quick intro to IK rigging! It's probably the most useful thing I learned last year (after putting it off for, like, literally a decade and a half). Also- Been working like a wildman on Dynamo Dream. Sending it to the sound team in the next few days, then I'll be able to make a few more tuts! Have some stuff I'm really excited to talk about!
Episode 1 : Salad Mug - DYNAMO DREAM IanHubert 2021-05-26 | Feels so good to finally post this! Unending thanks to all the friends who worked to help make this happen, and all of the folks over on the patreon! A lot changed over the course of making this episode (you can probably feel it), and while I'm really excited about this episode, I'm even more excited to keep everything moving for the next bit; the big goal is to be able to finish these things a bit faster than every 3 years :P Thanks so much for watching- I hope you enjoy it. If you DID enjoy it and want to chip in a bit financially for future episodes, I've documented a ton of the process (and shared a bunch of assets) over on my Patreon. Mostly VFX/blender tutorials and such, but also more general breakdowns, too, and I'd of course love to see you there. http://www.patreon.com/IanHubertAlso, HUGE thanks to Impossible Acoustic for being down to take on this project! The degree to which the audio sculpts the end experience here is absolutely wild. impossibleacoustic.comComposited in After Effects, All 3d work in Blender (blender.org)Huge thanks again, to everyone :D

All the CG stuff in this video is blender's realtime eevee engine, which has just been a blast). I've been posting lots of breakdowns/tuts/experiments on the patreon (thank you to everyone over there!):patreon.com/IanHubertAlthough I'm still working on full-on- tutorials I'll be posting here for everyone pretty quick.

Modeling Buildings in Blender- Lazy Tutorials IanHubert 2019-09-02 | So! In the new 2.8 update, the defaults are such that if you extrude faces you might get a weird glitch where some faces are transparent (you'll know it when you see it)- it's a super easy fix, though! Open material properties, go to "Settings" and check "Backface Culling"- that'll fix it right up! Also! To find "CORRECT UVS"- since folks have been having some trouble- you have to make an edge loop first, and an adaptive menu appears in the lower left of the viewport giving you more options. You might have to click on an arrow to expand it. Honestly I should have done this one a while ago. I've used it literally a hundred times. The best part is, once you have a building, you can use it over and over in different projects. If you feel like watching the uncut screen capture, it's here.

Ship Exit Breakdown IanHubert 2018-12-07 | Just a quick before and after of exiting the ship from the latest Dynamo episode (out now!) youtube.com/watch?v=Ambpl0AGTfIThanks to Rowan Rhys for acting (and exceptional balance) and Sean Farbolin for figuring out the ladder scenario! Tracking was done in the After Effects 3d tracker. Literally just, like, one click (maybe a little babysitting), and 9 minutes later I had the motion copied into blender and the whole thing blocked out. It was incredibly straightforward. The Blender tracker is crazy powerful, but if I'm being lazy, it's really nice to be able to just click a button. Feel free to check out the series at Karmapirates.com if you haven't before.
