Animating a Toon Crab in DAZ Studio (Full Series)
🕑 Added 2021-06-21 17:40:35 +0000 UTCWell hello everyone! I have a special treat for you today: a whole series about animation in DAZ Studio. I've been meaning to take a stab at animating my friend the 3D Universe Toon Crab for a while, finally took the plunge and it all worked out really well.
I'm covering everything from animating the legs, expression, eyes, I'm even creating my own controllers to move the claws. I'll also add various lights, convert materials to Iray and render the little guy out as image sequence. I'm also covering how to combine Aniblocks into a sequence, how I compile the animation in Premiere Pro and turn this into an overlay for OBS.
I've done all this live on Twitch without rehearsal, then split this up into several smaller chunks and edited some bits out to keep it on topic. If you're interested in the assets I've created, feel free to grab them from my Ko-fi store.
Full Series on Vimeo (ad-free)
I'll release these episodes one every day on YouTube, but you get full access right away. Sadly the way Vimeo deals with playlists is ridiculous, so I can't just give you a private link... I also have to give you a password. To watch the full series now, follow this link, then enter the secret catch phrase VimeoSucks
If you run into any trouble or have questions, please let me know. Enjoy!
