Thanks a lot!

Glad you like it! I'll put this video higher on my to-do list then :)

​@@alexandre.albisser Bro make slow video so beginners can follow steps along

Glad it could help!

100% agree. Can't wait to try it out.

Glad to help!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks a lot! I will add that to the tutorial todo list :)

Glad to hear that!

You can do that either by switching the texture with the" backfacing" output of the Geometry info node in the shader, or with a different shader and a solidify modifier to create thickness and two different sides, then which you can switch the material for each side with the Material index property of the modifier!

If the problem is only happening in Eevee or in the Material Preview mode, the issue is probably the "Show Backface" option under the Settings tab of the Material Properties. You can access it only when the Render Engine is set to Eevee.

Thanks for your comment! Will probably do more in depth uncut walkthroughs later in the future

@@alexandre.albisser we are waiting for this detailed video. hope you get a chance to make it for us.

Thanks a lot! Do you mean in my general workflow or in this particular video?

​@@alexandre.albisser if you are in the mood, you can share the defaults, like box-cutters etc. but particularly in this video there were few I didn't recognise, thanks for getting back to me :: )

@@ailisnelis2383 In this tutorial I only used the Import Images as Planes add-on which Blender ships with, Apart from that, I usually use the Node Wrangler Cell Fracture, Extra Objects, ANT Landscape, Archimesh, BlenderKit, LuxCore, Tissue for the free ones, and Random Flow and Botaniq for the paid ones I also have Mixamo and By-Gen but I barely use them.

The most likely issue is a wrong assignation of bone weights, is a flap is driven by two bones, they will fight each other to control its geometry, resulting in distorted and/or short flaps. You can check that it is correct in weight paint mode!

@@alexandre.albisser Thanks, i dont fully understand but i went round painting the non-flap-bone weights to 0. Couldnt get the flap weights to zero on the non-flap-bones without making it zero even on the parts they were meant to control, however those parts still moved anyway, which i dont get. but seems to work!

I'm having the exact same problem. My flaps bent horribly, the bone or pivot does not move with the assigned edge of the right and left side faces of the box, rather stays suspended in its original position. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks! At the time almost everything was based on rigid body simulations, but I have moved to a more controlled geometry node based setup, I made a tutorial about it recently!

@@alexandre.albisser Wow thats great!!! May I know the tutorial name ?

@@emmanm5633 it's one of the latest on the channel "How I Made Creative Playing Cards Animations"

When you parent the mesh to the armature with "empty groups" that creates vertex groups (see on the right of the screen) If you look at what I am doing, I am first selecting some vertices on the 3D view, then choosing the vertex group (on the right pannel) to which I want to assign them (the vertex groups has the same names as the bones of the armature), and then clicking on assign to set the weight of the selected vertices to 1 for the vertex group I selected (which is itself linked to the bone of the same name) Basically that's what is called "skinning", you set the control influence of each bone on the mesh using the vertex group. That's a standard rigging practice, for which there are more detailed tutorials Hope that helps!

@@alexandre.albisser Omg! Thank you!!! That was a very fast and amazingly step by step answer! ♥

@@alexandre.albisser I found a problem for me... So what I do is: 1) cut the box 2) create armature and pin bones to the boxes edges 3) choose Armature as a parent object After doing step 3 - there are no vericle groups ( Maybe I have to make them first before I assign armature as a parent object?

@@msFiBi you must parent to the armature using Ctrl P, which opens a menu from which you choose the "empty group" option, which creates all the groups

@@alexandre.albisser It worked! Also found out that to move parts I had to go from Object Mode (orange outlines) to "Pose mode" (blue lines). Again thank you for being a patient teacher ♥

Thanks for asking, unfortunately that's not something I plan to do, I try to make it as accessible as possible with all the tutorials and some free files and systems on my gumroad, but anything beyond that and we will be looking at too many commercials that look too similar.

@@alexandre.albisser Thank you for your response I appreciate it. I'm looking at making a pack of cards for a small livestream community that regularly receives 100-150 viewers daily. I'd like to make a promotional video to advertise the cards. It's a passion project, it's my first time doing anything like this. I'm not that particular about exactly how it looks, almost anything would do. I don't have the experience myself to make a video, I only have limited experience with 3d modelling and none with animation. Do you know of any services or files available that could help me put something together? As I say I'm not in any way targeting the playing card/magician community.. Nobody will even wants the cards if they don't watch the livestream, and even then I imagine not that many will actually want to buy them so it's not expected to be any sort of money maker, just a passion project.

This is a free ressource , you can do what you want with this knowledge

GLAD YOU LIKED IT, THE BOX TEMPLATE ITSELF WILL DEPEND ON THE MANUFACTURER, BUT YOU COULD GET ONE BY PRYING OPEN A CHEAP TUCK CASE AND SCANNING IT.

Merci beaucoup ! Très chouette cette anim en effet !

Sorry about that, usually Ctrl+R does the trick!
