Thanks everyone for the overwhelming response! Rigging tutorial it is! Look for it next week & thanks so much for your support!

[romitho]

Do the rigging tutorial, please! You're amazing EJ, love your work!

[Dezhavu]

Thank you! I learned more in this one tutorial than I have in two dozen others combined.

[jbmunson]

That spline texture technique was awesome. I've been wanting to learn something like that for months.
And add another vote for the rigging!

Thank you, EJ. I love this tutorial. I love all your tuts, but these tubular characters using primitives and cel shading are so whimsical and provocative. Although I will try rigging my tubular myself, I'd love to check my work with yours. I can always learn something new watching you.

Man, this is brilliant, I really don't know how someone can dislike this

[Dwadeization]

Yes to rigging tutorial!! Love all your character tutorials like this!

Great tutorial! If anyone was having trouble like me at 29:00 when applying your custom "Face Mask" to the spline shader and having it not show up at all in the material viewer/editor/render try using just a primitive spline first and making sure your X/Y Offset and X/Y Scale settings aren't too crazy then add your Face Mask and hopefully that will work. It might have something to do with where your axis is located when you're moving the actual face splines into place.

I expect step by steps that explain everything the moderator is doing when I watch a tutorial. Thank you for that. Was able to follow along with ease.

We need to know how to rig this! Awesome tutorial as always EJ. I've been able to apply much of what you have taught to my own designs. Keep up the great work!

You're the bomb, please more of these Cel Shader tutorials...you just earned yourself a subscriber...

Another vote for the rigging tutorial here :) Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge man!

[callealegria]

EJ, you´re one of my favorite tuto makers here.

[djblast]

holy crap. I been using cinema 4d for a while but you just blew my mind. I was thinknig too complex. THanks!

[gopimahanthi]

Thanks lot for creating much use full tutorials... I am following from couple of moths.. each video awesome..

[ayoubgharafi]

you know how much iI waited for this tutorial, thanks a lot man

[baofei]

Never thought about spline can make texture, Thanks EJ.

[thenikhilray]

Awesome as usual :D Now please teach us how to rig and animate in next series 😄😄

[hellotanjun]

helpful! as a beginner this tutorial is very insightful and inspiring, it demonstrates a brilliant workflow for character modeling, can't wait to watch the rigging tutorial, thank you!

[VeritasTwentyThree]

Love to see the rigging! :) Such a great design and tutorial. Thanks!
