What do you think about this kind of tutorial? And, would you like to see a video like this on a slightly more advanced character??

Does anybody else hate being stuck on a project and looking up a tutorial, only to find 20 minute long videos that might have the information you need?
I love this channel because it's short and concise. I get all the information I need to know in about 3 minutes and I'm back working on my project.

Straight, to the point, and no filler. Showing how to rig a non human character is even better since it actually TEACHES you how to do things instead of just "Yeah, download a plugin and press a button."

11/10 tutorial.

I would personally love to see more of this exact video but on different model types, this was very helpful but I think seeing the process on more models that are quite different will help with being able to apply this knowledge to anything, thank you for the great tutorial

[kings-letter]

THIS! this is how you do tutorials, everyone watch and learn. no fillers, to the point and explains it like he is explaining it to a 10 year old.
Thank you! <3

Never EVER listen to people that tell you to slow down your tutorials.
I learned to Rig in Blender through your tutorials. Granted, it took a few watches to get all of the details BUT that's preferable to the typical slow tutorial style most asshats in youtube use where they stop to explain every step.... or when they start by telling you how to add a cube....
The beauty of video is that you can re-watch as many times as you need! Keep making fast condensed videos and never EVER slow them down. :D

[okayoni]

Thank you for making this tutorial! I always thought rigging was kind of jank at times but this is very clear. Thanks!

Idk what to say other than this guy such a good teacher, there are lot of tutorials on blender on YouTube but no one teach theory and practical stuff straight to the point like this guy. Totally my favourite blender teacher

[ryanmckenzie]

I have to say -- I'm getting back into modeling/animation after a long break (I'm talking a couple years), and this is EXACTLY the kind of tutorial I need. Short, sweet, to the point, without dragging out the basics. Thank you so much!

[pride]

Just a reminder that this is my favorite channel on this platform still. Thanks sensei

[Bryanzilla]

Hey Royal Skies! just wanted to say some few words, Thank you so much. I am an animation student in PH and struggling, and took Game Dev major (I suck so much on coding hahaha) Your video helped me in these years and glad that I cam across you. I am still learning, but with your content, its like you are assiting me well! I am on my Senior year (Gonna repeat one more year cause I failed my senior project haha) and through this journey, I am truly greatful and hope many students, hobbyist and interested people would be helped just like how you helped me. Keep up the great work!

I stayed away from IK for 10 years because everytime I mess with it, it's a disaster. Then I was watching this and thought That looks super easy, why have I stayed away from IK. 6 hours later and I'm climbing back out of the IK rabbit hole again trying to fix the IK disaster I made today. I don't know what magic was done in this video, but in real life, it's not so simple.

[Mocorn]

I loved this video. The format is great but it also made me think that it could work wonderfully as a teaser for a longer video of this exact character where you provide the character and we get to rig it along with you in real time while watching the video. That's some Patreon stuff that I would pay for. Enough of these "short" lessons and I think we could actually learn this magic :)

Royal always delivers and never fails me. Glad I joined and support him.

[lordaniolist]

Oh my gosh this just made my year!
I had no idea why my meshes just WOULD NOT RIG CORRECTLY! I followed all the steps people had, straight forward, but never worked until I finally got 1 to work.
I tried to rig up another mesh yesterday and it just wouldn't work.
I watched this and tried on another mech and it works! I had to set each separate piece to parent with automatic weights to the armature, not join up the entire body and parent it! Thank you so much!

[duhproffessionallove]

This video is exactly what I wanted, since watching your shorter videos is more for one specific question but doesn't tell the whole story, this one complements your other work perfectly for being a more comprehensive answer to the whole process without being too long in itself. Well done, and thanks for the awesome work you put in!

[davidgread]

Been following you for years, your art is improving immensely. Well done.

[GrGooseYouTube]

Thank you so much! Finally, a tutorial video that isn't 45+ minutes long! I'm rigging something that has three legs just like this model, btw it's not a monster, it's a robot, and it looks completely different, I did not steal this model as an idea.

edit: I changed it to four legs, It was easier to place the legs in fourths

[ELAZA]

How about rigging a short small character. Like a plushie..or Teddy bear

[perkele]

Amazing how fast you can teach these concepts. Perfect video!
