I have never thought that rigging in Blender would be so much fun! It opens a whole new possibilities of cartoon rigging. Here I experimented with creating a cartoon spine rig with limited number of controllers which is the primary of goal of puppet creation, keeping it simple.

With the advent of AI imagery we have been digging into it's future prospect in 3D CGI animation context. This video goes over a real-time screen sharing between Maya view-port which is converted into a AI generated digital double in <a href="https://www.krea.ai/home">Krea AI </a>viewport. I am pretty much sure that in the future, 3D softwares like Maya and Blender will implement these AI features for productivity boost!

In this video I go over some key difference between rigging in Maya & Blender focusing on bone and IK Handle creation. As a long time Maya user to me Blender is very new, has a lot of quirk and looks a bit modern compared to the dated Maya look. Also I have found Blender to be lot stable! Will be creating more overview videos like this regarding fundamental rigging difference so stay posted on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@puppeteerlounge9099">Puppeteer Lounge </a>YouTube channel by subscribing. Next videos will be set driven keys, constraints, skin weighting, etc.

Maya has a tendency to CRASH big time! And no body likes to see MAYA Freeze Up and CRASH!! Fortunately there is a SOLUTION, and it's as simple as turning off the Evaluation Nodes to Ignore All. This way the file loads up so that you can troubleshoot it without crashing, going through each nodes to figure out what actually is causing the problem. Hope it HELPS!
