great series, thank you for sharing

this is old but thanks, all my icons were faded and i was stressed as hell lmao.

Is it possible to nest variants/variants sets? how? lets imagine i have geometry variat "main" and under a variantSet "geometries" and when selected that varian i need another variant set to appear "lod" with variants as "low", "high"

What’s the difference between union and combine?

I think it's better to use Houdini. What's the point of learning Bifrost?

Why make a twist 1 for the thigh? Why not just paint the current thigh bone?

Do you know where Are the Arnold Material presets lokated ? There is no * any more .. and how to Load them.. thx

in my case it stayed the same no change on low res. why

These videos got a bit harder to follow for me, requiring multiple viewings towards the end. I didn't love that I had to wait until after the shoulder video to find out how to organize the arm group.

6:22 base vertices are not fixed... what should I do??

I'm having allot of trouble with mirroring the right arm? Would it be possible to make a video for that?

Now I know this is Brad Pebbler instructing. Brad will you ever come back to Modo or is it a part of your past and you've moved on?

Brad Pebbler is this you instructing?

What's the benefit of using the new pbr standard surface instead of the arnold standard surface, if rendering with Arnold?

tysm for this!🥺🥺

Very helpful. Thanks!

Sorry. But so hard to follow. I did the first part, but in the second instances don't appear in outliner and viewport, though I follow second by second this tutorial. Have to skip.

Wow Justin is a legend. Great to hear him again after so long.

Thank you, your videos are excellent, how to you create objects with real measure ? Thanks for your answer,

Hello, it was very interesting, what's the next playlist to continue to learn Maya, Thank you for your answer et merci beaucoup, A passionate and more,

Thank you Jon Snow!

Thanks, Maya just stopped working, deleting the prefs solved the issue.

How do you control how many edgeloops the Sweep Mesh has?

SORCERY! I remember using maya 2012 for work back in the day and you had to cry then manually retopo a model (in that order) and now you have these sort of techniques now? My mouth was wide open the whole time watching this

How can I open the LookdevX Graph Editor?

Cool! Maya USD import now has the option of “Payload” or “Reference”, what is the difference? I did not find this in the 2024 manual.

I was having trouble connecting inverseMatrix to the bindPreMatrix. It would break the rotation of the control and was not undoable. I looked at your example head and it looks like worldInverseMatrix is what you had connected to the 2nd skinCluster. I tried that in my test ant it seems to work. I'm not sure if I am missing something. But thank you very much for this tutorial, the implications of this are immensely useful!!

Can smart extrude be made default?

Was literally having a mental breakdown about figuring this out. Can't believe it was a simple button press. Thank you!

Hello, thank you for the fantastic video. I have one question, is there any way to have the head with basic movement included. Such as the jaw move up and down and the eyes move? Thanks again.

I'm wondering if we could have parent constrained the pole vector to the leg and turned that off via attributes to achieve this dual no flip solution?

is it possible to nest variant sets? geometry: main -> lod: low/high

maya is better than blender due to its lack shorcuts and more on gui

anyone else finds this topic very confusing and complicated? for the past 10 years ive never fully understood what this is doing. ask anyone, im sure every person will tell you a different thing, when to do what.

Is there a way to not use the result joints? Because the orient joints and such are parented under the fk layer so all the functionality is happening in the fk joints. I just realized I connected everything together before creating the orient joints and now I can't add the orient joints in without the result joints zeroing out

Amazing video

Is there really no way to mirror some of functionality? Can I not just create a new Ik control for the foot and hand or something?

What might be the solution for mmb in magic mouse…. While using graph curves

Yes!

No mirroring is unfortunately very demoralizing. There was no point building one side first.

WARNING: He is not clear about this until you actually get to the point in the video, but you CANNOT HAVE YOUR MODEL IN A-POSE!! It will get reset to Tpose and deform weirdly when you unlock skeleton definition. He should've been clearer with this

I really appreciate this helpful content! After watching this last video about the use of the Offset Parent Matrix before doing the full playlist, it feels a lot more difficult to decide whether or not to follow this tutorial from the beginning. I understand that the real-time creature rigging playlist here on @Autodesk_Maya channel does use the Offset Parent Matrix, but perhaps doesn't include as many features as this playlist creating the Emma rig. I am trying to decide where to start. I have lots of experience rigging in 3ds Max, so would like to dive in and learn as much about advanced Maya rigging as possible, but am not sure I want to commit to this or the other with the intention of eventually doing both. So with the understanding that I am possibly only choosing one, do you think that if I understand the Offset Parent Matrix while going through this (Custom Rigging for animation (film / tv / shorts), that I will be able to apply the fixes using the Offset Parent Matrix as I go? If not, that's not really a dealbreaker, as my goal is to learn the more robust rig. Any suggestions? Thanks so much!

Hi, nice tutorial but I have a question: I have the character and the skeleton in A pose, how I prevent it go in T pose when I unlock the definition?

Hi i am trying to move the floor boards to be fully aligned with the base but it all keeps moving as one object? what can i do to stop that happening please and keep the shapes seperate?

What was the purpose of not zeroing the ik arm control before constraining? 8:59

I belive this dosent work anymore with Unreal 5.3

Wish you explained the Arnold shader to Unreal shader in more detail. I want to set up my models as usd/Bifrost hybrids using Arnold shaders into Unreal automatically.

If you can't find strands_around_strands it is because thee Bifrost isn't updated. You get it through their site from AutoDesk.

I am not able to export material X for Unreal, please advise
