    This channel is incredibly underrated. Thank you for making videos! Every video is an excellent source of practical and very useful information. I'm a Maya user and your tutorials have helped me immensely. Tutorials for things like this in Maya are far and few between. They also usually aren't as good or they're outdated. I take the techniques in your videos and translate them over. The steps and tricks you share have been super helpful in figuring out simple solutions to complex FX in my own projects.

It's a little bit difficult to search 'how to make a monster with procedural veiny texture/ low poly' and yet here your tutorial is, getting exactly into some of the ideas I wanted to try, down to even the environment lighting. SO THANK YOU man, you earned a sub, awesome video!

    For animating shapekeys, there's a useful default addon called AnimAll. It doesn't get brought up often, but it allows you to animate multiple shapekeys within a single shape and means you can blend tons of shapes without manually sculpting keying and adjusting 30 different shapes.

I still have to test it for myself for use cases, but this was a great video, thanks!

    I will say, the character design and render look great. My only criticism is that the animation looks very stop motion. There are a few super cheap mocap options including Move AI which just uses video footage to capture animations.. other than the stiff animation, this is pretty amazing. I'll keep an eye out for your future stuff

    instead of using the deform mesh you could also have transfer the weightdata from the lowres mesh to the highres mesh, I also use that here and there and most of the time it is working really well, the only thing where it can strugle a bit is in Armpit areas, but only when you have not enough room there but other then that it functions great and when the armpit area is not to be seen anyway or it doesn`t even matter how it moves it should save you the extra step with the modifier that adds up a extra calculation step ^^

    I feel like the short movie could have benefitted from from a much higher sample count from the rendering, but I don't know what the time constraints of the project was. I also had no idea the remesh tool could handle such a big challenge with the wireframe! I think I've underestimated that tools ability.

    Pro tip, you can use fSpy to "extract" camera angle and focal length from a scene in an image, works best with scenes that have a lot of straight angles, it also has its own blender addon so you can import fspy scenes directly in to blender afterwards. Just makes it so you don't have to guess as much when blocking out the scene in blender.
