I am just updating this thread with just one tutorial.   This one is not for people who know nothing.  It builds on some of the stuff I covered in the series I created for making my wierdo characters.     

Anyhow its basically all the weighting options in blender for weighting since all my previous tutorials I use the automatic one click weight button I thought I would show the "regular way" since that is what I tend to use on most of my little dudes I make.

hrm i guess i need to start a new thread.. since this is now in the iclone 6 forum .. well next time..

haha okay dont watch the one on the character creator I have to make a new one the CC works differently now.     I think this is the only one that is so now way wrong I think i even took it off the playlists but its still somewhere on the channel cause i never delete anything.  I like to go back and see how things have changed.   There are some really cheesy things up there cause times have changed.   Anyhow have fun.    

I dont use iclone in the classic sense I pounced on it when I realized i can like get just about anything to work in it if i tried being a realtime render engine I was quite delighted with it all.      So my um "characters" and stuff are a bit off the wall (just like me) :blush:

i have often thought -  why not have videos with 2 audio tracks to choose.   I mean we can turn off the sound *all of it".  If the video creator provides one track for background music and one for voice that would be cool.
It may just be me.  I concentrate too hard or can't concentrate and keep focus (AHDD).  I'm not going to go onto adderall to correct it either way. LOL

I just now found your videos and plan to watch some of them.

Anyhow since this thread got bumped I thought I would add this (for people who dont mind my teaching style)

I spent the about a month on this recording every sordid detail not leaving anything out and then another 2 weeks editing it all down trying to get it to make sense.   I noticed when I watched it that I actually left two ngons in the front it was driving me batty as I watched the finished series .. anyhow so those are fixed :P      

Its "the making of miss dancey cakey"   This is the playlist link its too long to post all the videos so here is the link to the playlist.

Click to watch the Making of Miss Dancey Cakey Series

I call these tutorial series "seat of the pants" tutorials because that is what they are .. its my creative process recorded mistakes, oopsies and all

....hrm dont know what to say I do it for fun maybe you dont like my style that's fine....    
I used to do them without music and that was also complained about so you know what they say "can't please all the people all the time" but your free to watch tutorials by others if you dont like mine :P

Be careful of the older videos they might be out of date.   ... for anyone that actually watches them that is

as  for the rest who dont watch em cause they dont like the stye .. I can't say I care sorry.     /shrug 

(yup you caught me on an off day after a harrowing week last week of the world dumping on me so excuse my bluntness hehe)

I started the first video.  I find it very distracting when video producers apply background sounds and music to technical teachings.
Hard to concentrate on all the mouse movements and explanations of the tutor.
You do have very clear voice and explanations are good. 

I stayed with the video to about 14 minutes and the music went away...whew

I map it because it might be useful in future and I am painting on the thing and want to save info.    I think I mention something like we will do it just in case we want to do something in future etc like import it as a mesh, but it would need to be decimated or something like that.   Its like two button clicks, but this kind of mapping will only work on something that is a flat plane like that terrain.  Although you can use project from view for other things you would need to do it for all sides of a model but the terrain only has like one side :)

Thanks,

i will check them out.
I was confused, in this video, by the part where you assign the Texture Mapping (in the Properties window) to UV, because I have no idea what is that about and why should we do that :ermm:
Anyway, i will watch the other tutorials

Cheers

for the height map one? just go to top view (press 7 on the keyboard)
and then go to uvunwrap and select "project from view bounds" 

then click on the material textures icon after you select the material and choose "blend" cause its being generated by blender and not drawn.   That is all there is to that really :) unwrapping is very simple in this case

Hello 

I am learning, reading... but if you tell me: this tutorial is the "Bible" for the unwrap/texturing, then I go immediately for it.
Thanks in advance for your kind answer
Cheers

  Roberto

As soon as I got it

This is not the bible for unwrapping or texturing this is the bible for creating heighmaps and its not anything like texturing a model for something else it wont work for other types of texturing this is a very specific case.  I have created other videos on how to texture the regular way elsewhere.  Go back to the beginning of the thread and there are videos that have that information in it.   I am not creating bibles really though I am creating short tutorials hoping that they help some people.    I put already 2 basic texturing tutorials in the thread at the beginning though.    They are not perfect but hopefully they help.
