  • Great video man, the animation segments look so good. That seems like a whole lot of work to do but the end result is great. I'm sure things get crazy when you have a very complex character design. Keep up the stellar work Chad, I really enjoy watching these.

    • Thanks for watching! There's definitely a benefit to more simplified character designs, that for sure. The few times I worked with complicated character rigs I needed a whole screen just for all their control layers and it got pretty crazy. Glad you are enjoying the new content!
