Mam, just a suggestion...Currently i'm trying to learn rigging. I learned the basics from your channel. But i still can't figure out how to do a facial rigg, especially when it comes to eyelid/mouth open and close. I really hope you're gonna do a video about that in future🤞. No rush btw. And finally thankYou for all of your effort🙏❣
you look amazing.
That's very kind. I appreciate that :)
@@AcademicPhoenixPlus 😏

COCO Movie Background, I answered first

Nice vid, as always! Still, personally, I can't wait until AI becomes good enough to entirely automate this boring part of modelling lol
I can't wait for Ai to take over UV mapping 😄
@@AcademicPhoenixPlus 😆 as someone who aspires to become a solo indie game dev, I want AI to do most of the programming part as well lol I suck at programming so much
you literally saved my final exam THANKS
I love hearing that! Glad it was helpful!
thank you so much:)
You're welcome!
Hello Monica, I'm curious, I'm currently studying architecture and trying to design fluid buildings using Maya, but I haven't found a suitable educational RUclips channel. Could you recommend a channel that focuses on architecture in this area
i love you(r contentand your voice)
Thank you so much!
I actually got the body from somewhere else , and i binded the skin and everything but the problem is when i move the character half of it moves and half of it stays there and it looks weird and in the channel box it says locked , soo does that mean i have to find another character or this issue can be solved . Thank you very much for your efforts ❤
nice video, can you please upload UV mapping video
I just did! Here you go! ruclips.net/video/LyLIATXGbw8/видео.html
11:30 Why is my mesh rotating?
I'm working on a robot animal. The only problem is that I'm having troubles rigging the barrels of the robot animal. I want the barrels to move in and out when firing.
Wow that jump was very stepped! from 1060 to 4090 is 3 generations newer + at least 3 tiers (because it can be 6 if you count the Ti of the 60, 70 and 80 tiers). I did something similar some years ago when I went from a ryzen 1700 to a ryzen 5950x and from a gtx 960 4gb to a 3080 12gb. For now I can live with this but if I find the opportunity I will swap the 3080 + some $$$ for a 3090 just for those sweeet 24gb of vram. Substance painter in particular eats vram like mad 🤣Anyhow good video and congrats for that super machine you got...you are set for 3 to 6 years!
Thank you! I love my machine is so quiet...
