You are describing rigging as in: draw in one tool and import it to another tool. and have the other tool automate the rigging process. There is ways to automate that are currently in the works, but it relies on templates. though there is a downside to templates, where it may not be able to add some of the features you want, so you will still need to know how to manually rig to add those features. though even with the templates, you would still need to manually assign all the separated art to the assigned template layers. there is a reason though to draw in toonboom instead of photoshop or illustrator, if you were to export directly from photoshop - it would not use vector art which will affect how the rig will be created including how layers and line are separated. and even if you were to use vector art from photoshop or adobe illustrator, there is not a way for the software to differentiate toonboom's line art layers to color layers from regular layers in illustrator or photoshop because it is specific to toonboom's coding set up. maybe if they could make their own new exporting files type that photoshop/illustrator could share with toonboom could help, but that doesnt exist and is a whole other coding problem to tackle entirely and would require adobe company and toonboom companies to work together which doubtfully would ever happen as they are both direct competitors with adobe flash/animate that adobe would like to sell. I do agree with you. Unfortunately we are currently stuck in the 2nd wave of digital rigged animation, we need a 3rd wave that will automate or at least speed up the process but the software doesn't exist or not available to the general public yet so someone needs to make it. In the past, Most animators were stuck in a monopoly held by adobe flash(1st wave) for years till toonboom became a viable option(2nd wave). I am sure a 3rd wave of digital rigged animation is coming, but like it took years for a viable option to be created first for the 2nd wave of animation. People are waiting for that available viable option to be created for the 3rd wave as well. Maybe someone will make a software that can compete with toonboom in automating the rigging process. There is some options available using automated ik rigs but it is still janky the last time i tried it out that did not make it a viable/reasonable "im stopping rigging and using this cause it is saving me a ton of time" instead. Believe me, if it was available i would do that, cause whole point of rigged animations is to make animations faster, i want to focus on animating, not rigging. but a good rig is worth making cause it will make the animating faster and easier so you wont need to redraw so much.

@@Whimmery understood! Appreciate the detailed response. Love your tutorials! Learning a lot.

Thank you so much!!

Thanks! not only that but into tech :P im a big nerd. just got back from an education and networking event at nasa

lol thanks and grats~! you win the first crown 👑

Thank you Rosesnwater!! It is a pleasure working on your character! Rigging and animating faces are my favorite so extra details for the win!

Omg YESSSSS! Dark Sarah is the best!! Totally thought the song fit to some extent

yes

@@Whimmery no.

@@Whimmery nah but seriously it looks good the rig is well put together but the animation is a bit too stiff and linear in my opinion

@@cawsomeaolin fair enough xD this was 6 years ago when first learning rig animation

@@Whimmery tru

Thank you, Bryan :D

Hierarchy definitely matters unless there is one peg holding multiple drawings(which I don’t recommend since they won’t animate separately), you need to give everything a peg and decide which will be the top peg to move them all. Let’s say you want to add pegs to the arm. You would need a separate pegs for hand, lower arm, and upper arm, and a shirt sleeve. Then you want to add pegs for small groups. Like a peg for hand and lower arm if just those are moving, and a peg for upper arm arm and sleeve. Final hierarchy peg that holds the whole arm together like hand, lower arm, upper arm, and sleeve, so they all move at once. And you don’t want to copy and paste pegs cause they each hold an anchored pivot points that will have the same coordinates. Like the peg where the upper arm rotates could be the same as the hands rotation so that the hand would turn not where it should be. I am not sure if the bug has been fixed, but it use to be that if u tried to change the anchor point for a copied peg, it would still not fix the changed anchor point

@@Whimmery Ohhhh okay, got it, thank you so much! I probably made mistakes so I'll fix those as they come up, again, thank you!

@@diegoguerrarivera3948 Yw 😃

@@Whimmery If I may ask, what is the purpose of making groups over composites? Is it just for the sake of cleanliness, or are there other reasons why you should do it?

@@diegoguerrarivera3948 Yes, purely for cleanliness. It can get very messy and you want it to be readable for others (and yourself) if you wanna hand over the rig to animators or animate yourself :)

Sorry this is delayed response, but no you would not need another node view. Maybe some more drawing layers for parts that are not there in the other views but you can still use the same nodes. just as swaps

Use streamlabs OBS . There are a couple of UA-cam tutorials that go over Vtuber setup for streamlabs

@@Whimmery oh ok thanks!

That was an older pc I used, but it was a gaming pc from almost 7-10 yrs ago. Currently using a custom PC that is decked with latest specs and a rtx 2080 super

@@Whimmery okay, thank you.

you need to use the deformers and set some pegs for keyframes to hold the deformer shape

@@Whimmery ahh I already got it after repeat it few times and btw I've follow your tutorial from the 1st part and this is my 1st rig too but sadly you didn't really *rig it so I was wondering if you ever will make a tutorial for it? I really appreciates all you tutorial btw ✨

@@Whimmery I have a question if you don't mind me asking. I try to add bones but when it comes to head, the mouth deformation is moving and when I move the head the mouth won't follow the head and it's stretching in a weird way. Do you know how to fix it, please?
