    46:34 "Remember, we favor an approach that lets us iterate fast, rather than an approach that makes us do perfect things the first time around. Which, by the way, is practically impossible in my experience."
    I think I needed to hear that, thank you. Very good advice for just about everything we do.

    It has been almost a month since I started studying rigging (and skinning) in maya. This tutorial helped me understand a lot about the whole process. Specially how to usa ngskintools and how topology can affect skinning. Thank you so much!

    Sir at 00:31:37 - Binding the skin to the joints: the basics, why didn't you bind with Advance Skeleton and how did you keep the control curves if you used Maya to bind the skin. I am very new to all this so pardon my ignorance. Do you recommend using Maya to bind than using Advance skeleton

    • @animationpandemic
      @animationpandemic  3 года назад

      It's a good question. There is no real difference between the two approaches. Advanced Skeleton opens the same window, when you click on the "set smooth bind options". I just directly opened it out of habit.

      Thanks, I don't remember anymore if one of the specific versions of NGskintools I was using at the time was having a bug in this respect. I am trying with the most recent version and it does work that way.

    I have a small off-topic question, I had the impression your webcam is following your head/face all the time to fit on the circle, how is that done?

    • @animationpandemic
      @animationpandemic  3 года назад

      I am glad you liked it! I was worried it was too long. For face tracking I used a Nvidia library + OBS: ruclips.net/video/UzfW3PSQjms/видео.html
      I think you need a RTX board, though.

    Hi there, may I know which version of the older Ngskin tools you are using that you say works better? Thanks!
    Checked the Ngskin tools website, all versions are mostly done in year 2020.

    • @animationpandemic
      @animationpandemic  3 года назад

      Hi Maurice, I keep both the latest 1.8x version installed and the new 2.x (which I think had a release in March 2021 or so). I would not be able to say which one is better, as the tool is constantly evolving., and whenever something does not work with one version, I try the other.

    • @MauriceSeow
      @MauriceSeow 3 года назад

      @@animationpandemic I see. Just facing the weird bug on both versions when smoothing. For both versions, the first time I smooth the vertices at a certain part of a body and it works fine where it smooths in small increments, but the moment I move on to another body part to try smoothing, it just smooths in big increments. Wonder if you came across this or know how to solve it.

    • @animationpandemic
      @animationpandemic  3 года назад

      @@MauriceSeow I had something similar happening to me too. Make sure you delete all NGskin tools nodes from both versions. Layers are not version compatible. Also, deleting all the nodes should keep the weights but get rid of any layer. Try relaxing the weight after that and see how it goes.

    How do you get the 1.x version to use as a comparison and has 2.0.33 solved all your problems, you are the second guy who uses the old version on some features (antcgi).

    • @animationpandemic

      at the bottom of the download page there is a "previous releases link", follow that. www.ngskintools.com/releases/v2/2.0.33/

  • @gyu1754ask
    @gyu1754ask 3 года назад

    You Rather done all things on Original Topolygy you can simply create a low poly charcter with 20% loops and skin it and copy the weights to original geo and smooth with Ng skin Tools if any volume loss that process will be simpler and straight forward

    • @animationpandemic
      @animationpandemic  3 года назад

      That's a great suggestion, and indeed it would be simpler that way. Unfortunately in this case that's the model we had to work with. No low poly for us this time :(
