I asked.

How do you go about rigging this type of dress.
How do you place the bones etc.

Not exactly the dress in the pic, but that type of dress with the long "loin cloth", not sure what the name is. Tabard dress? Qipao?

The character that will use it "fully modeled'. As in, the clothing can be taken off, or replaced with other clothes. Do you make a separate armature for the cloth or is it part of the characters armature?

I made some attempts, but making it behave nicely, especially when the character is sitting is a struggle.

>>1006252
The skeleton of the character is ofc insufficient to drive it so you'll need to extra bones or other custom systems like a clothsim to drive it.
>>
bone chain along the front and back
>>
>>1006289

Do you guys make the cloth bones part of the characters armature, or as a separate one

I thought of physics as well, it can just get a bit slow at times on my machine, even with proxy cages or whatever you call them.
>>
>>1006290
I typed out like 4 different use cases to justify doing or not doing that and in all of them it was just as easy to as to not. It comes down to personal preference.
In my use case I have characters who swap clothing in a RT environment. Some of the clothes will have fancy flowy things with joint chains. Some of them wont. Those that do will all be different from each other. It doesn't make sense to me to put every single possible bone all of the different clothes might need onto the character. I would rather the clothing object carries the clothing's joints along with the mesh. Then I will just constrain the root joints as necessary. That being said, if I did put the joints on the character hierarchy, it would be very easy to swap meshes in and out for different outfits. I'd also always know the physics will work if they work once.
So personal preference

>be master at plap animation

Why does this commonly seem to filter so many animators?
Is it really that hard to animate walking?

i think he just didn't polish this shot up at all. look at the falling petals and the roses, those are more blatantly not good than the animation
>>
>>1004451
plap animation is barely an animation, it's literally just 3 keys looped. for walk you need to know how to work with weight and body mechanics.

>>1004462
what the fuck did I just read
>>
Because it's something we witness every day. Most natural movement we do. Replicating it requires mimicry. It's why motion capture is a neccessity and saves time. The time spent for an animator to do these things for a shot takes too long.
>>
Because he's a hack that only knows how to animate disfigured manfaced trannies (no pussy = no futa) fucking in an exaggerated way

You wanna know something crazy?
if you go to the rule34 page for that video, there's people praising the first 15 minutes of that video, in which nothing happens, it's just shitty voice acting and awkward pauses between each line. One basedboy went as far as to call it "absolute fucking cinema". Grim.
>>
>>1005905
His animations outside of the lewd parts are pretty low quality in general. It's not just this video. But it is pretty likely those shots don't get nearly as much time invested into them, compared to the main meat of his content, so it's somewhat excusable. Some shortcuts are required when working alone, if you don't want to spend a ton of time on each project, when likely 90% of the viewers will just skip over all of the scenario setup and talking, and go straight to the lewd bits. Working alone also has the detrimental side, that you don't have anyone qualified around to give you good feedback. Even the best animators get blind to their own work, and benefit from having a colleague comment on their work. Sadly, coomers never give useful comments or constructive feedback, it's always either "Absolute cinema!", "Are you a god?", or someone complaining it doesn't cater to his incredibly specific fetish. If only we had a red 3D board where we could share our lewd content, to ask for feedback, so we could help each other improve.

>>1004510
This is the correct answer. Flashy fights and such are relatively simple to do. A good walking animation on the other hand is a massive pain in the ass to do well. If a scene requires me to show a character walking from place A to B, I'll either allocate several times more time for it on my schedule, compared to other things, or I'll hide most of it with camera cuts and angles, to minimize the amount of work needed for it.

I really hated 3D graphics back in the late 80s and early 90s. Compared to drawn animation it looked so off to me, cold and I was young enough to feel actually creeped out by it (in the bad way).

I do understand the appeal of it being used as distinctive style in the 2020s and I guess that creepiness is part of it.
To me it feels like brutalist architecture. It can be impressive to look at every no and then but I don't want to get confronted with it every single day.

3D transformers are still text to image to depth map to point cloud to mesh.
That's for free ones you can try on github and commercial ones that want you to buy credits for the same thing.
That's the reason they suck. Nobody has done a true 3D transformer yet that has been trained on actual meshes and until they do they will continue to suck.

starting with something that grabs you is as good as any other. what ever gets you googling and scrolling stack exchange and trial-and-erroring your way through. an important thing to remember is that if you can't recreate it, it's not worth being made, so never fear scraping something because it becomes unworkable. think of it as an opportunity to hone your beginning process more. whether it's a donut or your oc or what ever, if you belev you can achev (not to sound too cliche)

unironically this.
also this is disney, they can do whatever the fuck they want even if they don't have the law on their side. even if the guy somehow finds a lawyer brave enough to sue and somehow reach a positive outcome for the artist, they will settle it behind closed doors and NDA him for the rest of his life. in the 0.0001% chance that the guy actually wins, is it really a victory if he can't tell anyone about it?

personally I can't wait for the day that a big porn animator learns this lesson and catches a massive suit. imagine the meltdown. and it WILL happen, it's only a matter of time. one day some random ultra religious lawyer will get promoted to a high position in a massive company like actiblizz and absolutely bring the hammer down. and once there's blood in the water then the payment processors will swoop in and finish the job. you should screencap this post. in fact i will screencap it myself and have it on hand for the day that I am proven right.

My primary goals are to create characters for my own games and animations. More than anything I want to focus on animations and character designs. I'm operating solo trying to do stuff but I've realized that 3D is so multifaceted that it's very very difficult for a single person to be good at all of it. I understood this conceptually but until I really started making my own projects I realized why these pipelines are so specialized. I want decent quality rigs, and it's not like I don't think I have the capability to make them but it's just such a time and skill investment that I want to dedicate to my main purpose which is animation and character design. I don't have the money to pay someone to do this so I guess I'm in a tough spot.

Rigging doesn't mean replicating the human skeleton 1:1, especially the shoulders are tricky to get right.
There are a ton of semi-automated rigging scripts but in order to know if they will work for you you have to understand rigging yourself.

Anyone has ever done it? Not as an actor but as either a animator in charge of correcting animation or the technical responsible for setting it up.

You think it's a realistic idea/goal to set up a studio and iterate on it starting from my bedroom?
I'm a programmer and want to get into animation and was thinking about this from a gamedev perspective that really doesn't have the will to learn 3D animations the manual way. I realise how kind of dumb it sounds but I legit don't know anything about it but the logic behind doesn't seem so complex though
