Back when you were most active, a couple of years ago, I had to do a lot of character-illustration and animation at my job and it was always great fun. And of course I watched a lot of your videos I am happy you are back and I feel a little bit of the joy from back then. :)

i now have the technical knowledge - but i doubting my artistic ability to light items properly

[@user-kk5wo7bl7o]

I'm so glad you're back, now waiting for the Meat Mysteries to come back as well

[@Mikeydowdle]

So glad to see you're back posting to RUclips again! 🤘

[@oren333]

Love to have you back mate!

[@marthjel]

Pretty cool. But would be interesting to see how you would translate that technique in motion, like if the fingers move or bend etc!

[@ChrisKoelsch]

my thought as well, it would be a lot of manual work to keep that look consistent in motion

[@ross]

@@ChrisKoelsch there's ways of rigging that would keep the shading consistent with minimal extra keyframes.

[@ross]

now that WOULD be interesting. i'll have a think about a tutorial for that.

[@AliHassan-fb8oo]

@@ross Yes Please!!!

[@AliHassan-fb8oo]

I think after you are done with animation, then it would be convenient to just duplicate the animated layers and add shading after wards.

OMG..... he... he's back!!

truly he has risen

Would love to see a tutorial on how you accomplished the hair and fabric animation on your knife character.

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

me too. I slowed it down and saw that it was a bunch of white, rotating stars/triangles that sweep along the edge of the knife, and another distorted white layer on top of the knife to simulate motion. So interesting how it looks when sped up to normal

[@vry.design]

This is interesting! Thanks for sharing.

갠적으로 아나타노 코이비토니 나리타이는 라온님 버전이 최애예요ㅎ

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

ok now I'm really interested in how you did the shine on the knife

[@kb3146]

That's a gorgeous hand :0 Look so pretty

[@vamboo8918]

Thank you so much!

[@rachelcqart]

great tutorial

[@oakhousemedia]

Good to see you again. y

[@maximilianDOF]

this is the way for single still image I guess. can't imagine adding 10+ extra shading layer that don't stick to original layer, and animating the base layer would make all the rest invalid...

[@rockybproduction9038]

Is there a way you could rig shading like this? I have a project coming up were the lighting is constantly changing and I will need to quickly change the light and shadow direction

[@Big_Dai]

Would have liked to see the Wednesday tutorial.

[@paulcristo]

Thanks.

[@asneakemoose]

Would I be able to import an animation from animate cc and do this?

[@ScientistX]

Good to see you back Ross!
Any plans of resuming Patreon?
