Changing the Skin Texture

This is something a lot of people have asked about, not sure why I still haven't put it up but here it is! How to swap to a different texture on one of the rigs.

I'm still alive

So I just wanted everybody to know that I haven't quit. I've been having a really stressful semester, and while it's over now, don't expect too much from me anyways, not until after June at least. I might post a few videos in the next few months but I'd much rather focus on other things, so I wanted to make sure to say this instead of disappearing without a trace like I usually do.

I just wanted to say thank you for all the support on my youtube channel, I never thought I'd be able to get so many views, and it's still odd for me to look at those numbers. I'll definitely do more minecraft animations in the future, and eventually I want to expand and start up some sort of series or skits with recurring characters of some kind (animated of course). That's far in the future though, but it'll happen in some way.

Also, I'm happy to answer blender questions through my email (vmcomix@gmail.com) but make sure that it's a genuine question and you know what you're doing; so no "how do i animate plz" or "what program do u use" because I won't answer those. Make sure you search the web for an answer first too, there's a ton of info out there. It's how I learned.

New Short - Tree Pigs

New short on machinima! Also I know I post something and then go missing for half a year, but that's just the way I work. I'm going to try and post some tutorials if I think of any, and expect a short at least every 2 months from now on.

Making Ocean Water

Here's a hopefully quick tutorial on how I did the water in the Steve fishing video. This isn't exactly realistic water, so if you want that look up another tutorial on YouTube or somewhere. This is just a technique to get quick, stylized, and somewhat interactive water.

New Steve short

I know it's short, and it's been a while, but really it's because I haven't been managing my time well. I've also been busy with school but I'm on break now, so I'll have more time to work on animations. You still might not see too much happening on my channel though, because I'm planning to do a series on machinima (based on Steve and Pig). I do have two friends still helping me though, so hopefully that'll speed things up too.

I'll try to post more on the blog too, it's just I don't want to post when there's nothing interesting or useful to post.

Slimes (My first 2D short!)

Cool Snapshot

You never actually see him from this angle in the short, but I thought it was a pretty cool pose. For the poster maybe?
