Hey, welcome to my channel.
I'm Brian, a Toronto based 3D animator and educator.
I use this channel as a platform to help educate and teach 3D animation to anyone interested!
My main reason for starting this channel was the lack of quality information available about the industry and animation when I was new and needed help. I had no other option but to spend tens of thousands of dollars on institutional schools to learn 3D animation and learn the secrets of the industry.
If the channel's free content isn't enough and you're looking to sharpen your animation skills and give yourself a strong animation foundation, then consider TOAnimate. Me and two other animators have spent over 3 years creating the most comprehensive and laser focused animation curriculum, using Blender. We know all of the struggles of a student looking to learn animation and so we've tried tackling each one to make the learning journey as smooth as possible!

thanks for this amazing video. Is it mandatory to have a degree in animation school before applying for a job? because you can buy online courses or watch tutorials and still have the same skills
Hey, not at all. The majority of studios only care about your ability to animate and how well you'll mesh with the team. Rarely anyone cares what your credentials are and from where.
@@BrianKouhi I really appreciate your response . Thanks
Can the Blender foundation fix their child of constraints
The child of constraints are genuinely dogshit and makes me want to move to 3ds max
How to get this rig
Thanks!
Wow youre really taking your time making the rigging course 😱😱😱😱😱, im going to buy it as soon as you release it, cant wait !!!!!
😅😅
This is important... 🤝 Thanks
Aight bet
You have Portuguese (Brazil) subtittle in the course?
Hey Bella, we have Spanish subtitles, but not Portuguese.
does your course ever go on sale? I really want to take it, I'm just going to have to watch for a sale if it does. The work y'all put in is really impressive and I really really hope there is a sale...
Hey Ben, We have promo planned for TOAnimate's 3rd anniversary which will be in early August! We'll send out emails to our newsletter subscribers with more information when it's live :)
@@BrianKouhi Awesome, ill be ready
Thanks for these ideas ❤
WOAH this is EXACTLY what I was looking for, this immediately FIXED all my animations LMAO
some time graphs movement are very very small, what can be the reason
Thank You ♥
But how to change the size of the COLOR pupil?
Or you can drag it in!! 🩵
In 2024
AWESOME!
How can I enroll my son we are living in South Africa Durban
Do u know any recommendations?
This is a great tip, thanks! 👍😃
Any update on when you’ll be dropping your rigging course?
its operating system not operating software
I understand the frustration of this guy, but if you got used to a software from the beginning and learned all the tools and shortcuts, you will feel frustrated thinking that the new software is the same one you already used and it is not. The new user will misjudge any new software because it is not configured as they are used to. It happened to me with *Lightwave 3D* when I was already in *3DS Max* so I left *Lightwave 3D* but now I use *3DS Max and Blender*
Long story short... Yes, it is
Nice ideas 😊
TBH i really love Blender. These shortcuts made it fun for me while learning. And by the way man your tutorials really did help me over the years. Thanks ❤
Love to hear it :)
This character made with Cloud Rig? Can you create course about pro rigging? i would buy
Max is made with Rigify as a base and months of custom work on top. We are in the process of creating a rigging course due to high demand, but it will be some time before we're ready to release that.
@@BrianKouhi Thanks for the answer! When I saw your character I was impressed, because it looks like Snow. But Blender studio is in no hurry to create a full-fledged Rigging course with their Pipeline extensions. I've seen Rigging by Demetr Dzadik streaming, but it doesn't look like a course. So, I'm asking you, if possible, in the course of rigging use with Blender Studio pipeline (Cloud Rig, Geonode Shapekeys,Pose Shape Keys, Easy Weights, Lattice Magic)
Great interview!
Happy you enjoyed it!
Love this in so many ways! Thanks for doing and sharing the conversation Brian!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for the mention ❤
Thanks for having me on, Brian! Always love chatting with ya
Love you man 😢❤
Always a pleasure

Camilo is just the best Encanto character
In Blender 4.0 when changing position after setting the button to activated, it brings changes of position through all animation. So i may suggest, this tool doesnt work on Blender 4.0.
The support stopped for it on 3.6, the creator however is working with Blender Devs to bring some of the features into vanilla Blender

Geah that post is complete bs ive never used the editor and ive done tons of weapon animations now i just now what more feel to my anims
My husband is not getting any job in animation.. whats the problem?
Do you have Ahura Mazda necklace?🤩 Where are you from?
Yep, I'm Persian.
@@BrianKouhi نوکرتم داش😂 عشق منی
Blender is hard
Oh it's blender
why would i need blender tutorials while im browsing youtube shorts, and why would the tutorial im using need a bajillion different graphics flying around to keep my attention; i searched up the tutorial.
Very useful, I rediscover Blender after 3 years use ago. 👍
Hi, I see your channel at the good time, I have lot of characters animations for my actual project and your ticks are precious, thank you.
This rig is amazing. I'm just starting your course. One question i had though sense this is a hybrid rig would it be compatible with arkit mocap? That way I could clean up the motion capture on the face using the controllers?
Im using graphic design, animation, compositing softwares since 25+ years ago. The problem I found with blender was the community... at those v2.3 era.. everyone was telling and mocking.. "Its this shorcut.. press that.. press this.." like if they were feel "different" mostly using just shortcuts. I sense a lack of visual design for the purpose of the software. Why in the hell I should adapt to a tool... with tons of shortcuts??.. being a visual artist, VISUAL artist, I need a BLEND of visual tools and muscle memory (SHORTCUTS) to work. Games exploit muscle memory with WASD keys, you want a combo?? then learn shortcuts. But the common actions are there.. because... they want the people playing immediately! Design and VFX software needs a nice balanced blend of common sense standarized from decades ago, and I know is not a copyright issue for the shortcuts to be like other software.
Nice tutorial! Seeing the quality of these YT tutorials makes me want to buy the course. As I’m assuming it’s this well explained.
Happy to hear that, ty! They're actually more in-depth than our UA-cam videos :)
@@BrianKouhi Good to hear 👍
Take a shot every time I say "one side open, the other compressed" 🥃 After the shot, if you're looking to take your animation skills to the next level with the help of instructors and a community, check out TOAnimate academy: toanimate.ca/?

Im only interested in how you rig this character 😅
Please make a rigging course, especially facial rigging 😭
We're on it! It's a long process making a comprehensive course, but we definitely are working on it :)
@@BrianKouhi ty soo much ! 🥰
Will this course teach me acting animation with dialogue?
Yep! We have lessons both on lip sync, and acting. We also provide students with over 100 dialogue sound bites we've had done by professional voice actors, so our students have audio to animate to.
@@BrianKouhi buying this rn
Great stuff! And the hat is cool.
