Tutorialish: Quick Christmas Fake-O Stop-O-Rama

Mikey Smith

This is so rad, thx a mil IH. Glad I've discovered your content. <3

minju kim

I love you

It's like a kilt! But a jacket. Awesome

Missed opportunity to say "Sometimes the best stuff happens on the fringe of 'Cringe' ! :D

Walt

lovely, next year please add some snowflakes, thumbs up

skies were only green when they went to see the abominable snowman.

I like the idea of puppeteering 3D animations, as someone pointed out Captain Pugwash style is my goal. Still haven't figure out how to do that but this gives me some food for thought.

Phil South

The Rankin Bass animations were/are big in the UK too! Love this.

Ian Hubert

I think you TOTALLY can! I've never played with it, but at the very least I know there's ways to turn MIDI into animations (kinda Animusic style :D)

Lewis Turner

I wonder if you can use an audio visualiser as a driver to animate parts, captain pogwash style. In theory if you had all the separate tracks to a song you could automate instruments too.

Watching the joy in Ian's face was all I needed.

Tyler Adams

This was rad. Happy Holidays! I became a patron in 2020 so it wasn't all bad!

Quickly made a version and added some falling snow with a particle system! Took some work rendering (blender crashed every time, even though I've got an RTX 3080 etc, no idea why) but I got it eventually. Thanks for the tutorial! https://youtu.be/h8aEaCmABec

The frame dropping audio sync setting is very useful when animating with audio. I have to use it for most of my stuff that's mildly complicated due to my crappy pc. However you have to be careful trying to mess with unbaked simulations in that mode, since it will try to simulate per frame and skip a big load of them to try keep up the timing. Or at least that's what i have found. Also, merry Christmas!

Ian Hubert

Ahhhh that's totally my bad I'm sorry- it's the one thing I forgot to show in the video and I was hoping it wouldn't be an issue- you have to bake it, under the dynamic paints cache settings :)

Ian Hubert

Ahahaha Paul!!! That's awesome!! I love it

Merry Christmas Ian And thank you for a great heap of quality Patreon content

Paul and Anna Spooner

Yes! So much fun animating this way! Made my own version, which is basically just your assets to a different song. https://youtu.be/z5b_GzBPycA

Mike Hay

Cheers for this and all the cool assets and tutorials throughout the year. Very inspiring stuff! A good Christmas and New Year to you and all the Patreon gang too. 🤘🤖🤘

For some reason I can't get dynamic paint to render and it's killing me

Chris Ak

Super Dope! Also never noticed the green sky in the original.

Jourdan Biziou

Love this ! :) thanks for all the great inspiration :)

This song has been surgically placed into my brain last night, I woke up this morning and I can still hear Ian kickin around in there

RascoJr

Thanks Ian! This was JUST the thing I needed. Have yourself a merry one. &lt;3

RascoJr

I think it looks great! looks like the start of a journey for a snowman to find a special thing

I made my version of the snowman according to the lesson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZtj2ZM_Qr8&amp;feature=youtu.be I've never done animation before. Thank you for the lesson. It's very fun! This scarf doesn't look realistic, the wind doesn't work properly with it. What have I done wrong?

Doug Brown

Wonderful! Reminds me of 'Trumpton' a kids animation from 70's TV in the UK (showing my age now).

Thanks Ian for this wonderful Christmas present/tutorial. (edit: I can't get this song out of my head ;-) )

Sergio

Amazing, thank you and Merry Christmas Ian!

This was truly amazing! But no surprise that it was, coming from you! :) Learned a lot, and got very inspired, as always! God Jul! (&lt;--- Norwegian for you know what) ;-)

I learned a bunch man, thanks.

Nathan Vegdahl

Ian has super powers. I believe it. Created a cg animated music video in under an hour.

this is very cool! Merry Christmas! I was waiting for the falling snow)))

this was very inspiring, thank you and Murrrrrrrray Christmas!

Ian has blessed my Christmas

Stewart Bird

would love to see more random one offs like this, learned a lot

Mark Miller

This is so great!

i love how you modeled and animated a full digital short in under an hour. that's pure insanity. and i really do love the real-time digital puppeteering approach. i worked for the Jim Henson company years ago, right when they were pioneering the digital puppeteering system. super cool stuff.

Thank you for this!!!!!!&lt;3&lt;3&lt;3&lt;3

Evan Barron

"Sometimes the best stuff happens on the edge of cringe" is now my favorite quote and I will be using it frequently, thank you Ian

Fes

Yep. That made this holiday season a lot merrier! AMAZING!

Aman Bhargava

My introduction to Burl Ives was through Better Call Saul and the 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' song. I love it! What a wonderful voice. Great video Ian!

Worthikids on Youtube has been on a stop-motion kick lately and (I just double-checked) also uses Blender to accomplish it. Really impressive stuff and has a very Rankin-Bass feel to it. Worth checking out.

Evan Barron

Literally sitting around my house thinking "I want to watch some Ian Hubert, hope he'll upload sometime" and see this blessing
