[theotherscientist]

j-whatever sums it up

[dehdehsac323]

oh god that fucking lisp

[GTAGAMECounterShot]

OMG This record must be very old!

[Flashmovies1000]

Good  tutorial thank you btw where did you faound that character

[shock44]

@TheMercede3s I dont know anything about san andreas hacking.

[RickyUserXD666]

@TheMercede3s Theres already a San Andreas mod with a sonic model. He replaces the Wayfarer. Even if he rigged the model and added the san andreas animation script, sonic is too short to replace CJ, if a character mod is what you were looking for.

[shock44]

@TheMercede3s I don't completely understand your request. Do what with cream in 3ds max?

[TheMercede3s]

Sorry i didnt writte it good. I like to ask you pretty To make me a ped from cream the rabbit to san andreas please it will be cool to replace it to the groove homies.

[shock44]

@TheMercede3s I don't know how to hack san andreas and i dont know what a ped is.

[shock44]

@shock44 are you talking about a biped?

[KisameSouth]

Lol i laughed my head off at this tutorial, Was awesome though, just what i needed.

[crazybassman101]

why are all the different limbs of the mesh different colors? If my mesh is one single object, how would you recommend me skinning it?

(I can send ya a screenshot if you would like)

[TigrisLion]

That was helpful. Thank you sir

[MrChronos1]

@HjeRmProduction If anyone wants to work on a sonic game ask me. im looking to start one up

[uncaringcaesar]

i cant scale, it wont let meh

[shock44]

@uncaringcaesar Make sure you are in figure mode.

[kevinmrn]

@shock44 I have a question. How can you make a biped "non symmetrical". Because my character has a wooden leg. And i created an extra bone with the "create xtra" key but how can i link it to the biped so it scales the same way as the rest of it's parts. I hope you can help

[kipkip123thomas]

i am using maya 2010 but i cant make a bone bigger :S please help

[Mixamo3DAnimation]

Nice adjustment on the biped character to fit a character shaped like Sonic. Do you also have the rest of the tutorial in which you explain how to bind it to the character? Would like to see! Cheers!

[YiffMeHMM85]

Sonikku-Seme!

[DerFauxRitter]

So, this isn't as much of a rigging tutorial as it is a skinning tutorial.

[shock44]

@DerFauxRitter Skinning and rigging in 3D program terms means the same thing.

[DerFauxRitter]

@shock44 I'm confused, now. Skinning, I was taught, is the process of wrapping an IK chain, whereas Rigging is the process of linking, wiring, and giving designated controls to an IK infrastructure.

[Darkeartz]

@shock44 No, it doesn't :) Attaching a mesh to a set of bones is skinning, and creating a set of controllers for those bones is rigging... simple if you think about it... your are either making a skin or a rig... one cannot be the other, now can it ? :oD

[ncshuriken]

Nice tut man, but can you explain how you reposition a biped bone (bip_01) AFTER you've rigged the mesh to it (only moving the bone, not the mesh)? I cant find the answer ANYWHERE!

[shock44]

@ncshuriken Well, once you've rigged a bone to a mesh it is going to move the mesh with the bone. The only way to move a bone that is rigged to a mesh without moving the mesh is to click on the mesh that the bone is rigged to and click on the skin modifier and remove the bone from the list that you want to adjust. Then adjust it and then re-add it to the mesh and rig it up again the way you want it to be.

[ThesadelF]

Great Video man, i like the way you explain that is easy to understand, this is the first actual video tutorail i see, been sticking to text ones for a week now, im new to 3ds, (2 weeks) and im already looking into riggin :D, tutorials are awesome, yours is awesomer!, GG

[Vitalpoint07]

hey by any chance do you still have the sonic model? if so can you send it to me?

[MrChronos1]

@Vitalpoint07take it from me you shouldnt use someone else's models it neverr really works out start to make your own if you dont know where to start ask me

[shock44]

@MrChronos1 I didn't even make that model. I was just using it as an example. I got it off some deviantart page.

[MrChronos1]

[bryanbhu]

I loved this, really helpful!! Thanks very much. If I may, though, the narration is hilarious =) You had me by half way through and thought I'd die when you started to talk about how a thumb has 2 bones and how this can be confirmed by bending your thumb. ROFL Awesome stuff! Not sure if you intended to have that effect but it was good.

[micahpharoh]

These people are right, you do have a unique voice. I think you did a great job. Don't let them tell you that you can't teach, this is just as good as any other tutorial you'll see on YouTube.

[AMYuntold]

I have a cool Rouge model rendered in stereoscopic 3D at my channel, if anybody interested please check it out.

Sorry for pasting this here... maybe you enjoyed it too...

[Abrakadabrahocuspocu]

wow i cant believe u actually uploaded this! decent tut (it was easier for me to just read the tuts that come with max) but u sound like a fucking retard! (no offense to u dude or any retards, its just i went to school with a retard and he sounded just like u) but yeah, u should have wrote a script and then gotten someone else to read it.

[DoubleLatte13]

Thanks for the video, very helpful!

PS: It sounds like you could use some vocal projection lessons.

[berserker44]

Nice video, thanks for the tutorial. It would be nice if you had done some type scripting before hand to make it easier for the viewer.

[offline65]

:O

the sound is very bad i can' t get anything out:(

[143rdqueenz]

You are hard to listen to. Maybe you should practice or right a script next time.

[darknkreepy]

that's "write" a script, not "right" turn.

[shock44]

Okay, I don't know if I still have it though.

[Alusaint]

check out your video response.

[DiegoSynth]

Excelent tutorial! U explain very good, not like the others that talk in a posh way pretending that evrth is easy & making u feel u are a dumb.

Thank you very much for this, I've learnt a lot!!!

[shock44]

Your welcome, glad I could help!

[143rdqueenz]

Some people are able to learn and unable to teach they probably don't know a lot about what they are doing even though they are doing it. I hate the way they talk too. Good job Shock

[redfoxarts]

How about I send you a 5 models of any kind? Dinousaur? Abrams tank? F16? Salamander? eh?

I just Cant Model a salamander! Agree?

[shock44]

Wait, are you offering to make models for me?

[redfoxarts]

show me how to rig a lizard or a dinosaur.

I Can give you 5 models (including the lizard and the dinosaur (T-ex))

[shock44]

Oh, um I could try that, I've never tried rigging animals before, just aniformic animals. So yeah if you want just send me them and I'll make a video attempting to rig them.

[DrMecha]

I see that you're using the Model that I created.

[shock44]

Well it was given to me by LilJayz2 because he wanted to know how to rig it. I'm not going to use this model for my animations though.

[shock44]

Great, glad I could help!

[LilJayz2]

boy lol
