    Great video. I really like the low-poly version of modeling you showed at the beginning. I always have trouble when it comes to rigging. It usually looks fine up until the point to where I pose my character to sit. Then the verts around the hips or bum area always look off, no matter how much weight painting I do :r.

    Do you plan on making a video about rigging non-organic characters like robots and similar things? I made a golem model, kind of similar to the clash of clans one, and I can't find a single tutorial about rigging and animating something like that. I believe it would be very helpfull to have a tutorial about how to rig it, if a model of that kind should be a single mesh or the different limbs should be separeted when adding bones, how should the topology be, things like that. Hope you read this and thanks anyways!

    It's harder to avoid with very low poly models, adding more loops where the deformation happens usually helps. When you get to rigging, try to make things deform in a way that prevents twisting
