Muscle-by-muscle smile demo for 3D artists. I used FACS naming conventions, so if you need to translate the names into ARKit terms: melindaozel.com/ARKit-to-FAC… Also, this is exaggerated for demo purposes. Experiment with different shape combos for best results! #arkit #FACS #3dart

A brief preview of a little animation using Clay Pencil as part of the Blender Lab project, to see the potential viability of including this tool in Blender "out of the box" in the future. More on the Clay Pencil talk at the Blender Conf #Blender #GreasePencil #Claypencil

I’ve been working on a small #Blender tool called BoneGuide. It’s for one of those very familiar rigging annoyances: creating a bone chain that is actually planar, properly oriented and easy to adjust. Standard tools often fail, so I made my own. #b3d #rigtip Teaser below 👇

I never understood how someone can skin without any Range-Of-Motion animation (ROM). I see so many skinning attempts, no animation even at the horizon. Makes skinning hard and time consuming. It could be so much fun! Here's an example only using #SmoothWeights #b3d #rigtip #3d

Join us as Max Rose takes us through a two-part webinar exploring the latest animation tools and workflows in H22 – from core techniques to more flexible character animation. Part One | The Basics July 30 | 9 AM PDT | 12 PM EDT | 6 PM CEST Learn the fundamentals of animation in Houdini. We'll start by covering the animation catalog, and how to work with ragdoll and constraints. We'll then move on to the new animation tools in Houdini 22 for adding secondary motion, creating set driven keys, animation clips, and assembling the final animation in the Motion Mixer. Along the way, we'll be using the Harry and Jack in the Box rigs, which can be found on our content library. Part Two | Leveling Up August 6 | 9 AM PDT | 12 PM EDT | 6 PM CEST After covering the basics, we'll move on to the new retargeting workflows in Houdini 22. You'll learn how to rapidly retarget a character to motion capture animations, and how to combine multiple retargeted animations in the Motion Mixer. Finally, we'll make a snake climb a tree by combining procedural and traditional animation techniques, utilizing Houdini's powerful modeling tools. Max Rose is a 3D animator and technical artist known for blending strong character performance with deep procedural and rigging expertise. His work spans advanced KineFX and APEX-based systems, along with forward-thinking explorations into AI-assisted animation workflows. As Senior Character UX Specialist at SideFX, Max is helping to shape the future of character tools in Houdini, making complex systems feel intuitive and artist-friendly. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, this webinar series is for you. Feel free to attend either session, or both! Register here: sidefx.co/2026-illume-max-an…

Fresh off the GNM launch (github.com/google/GNM), here’s a closer look at what you can do with it! GNM is fully open-source, meaning that you can build right on top of it. Here I’m using normalized vertex groups in Blender to mask different regions while randomizing identities. And if you want to go beyond realism you can always push these settings further to create stylized characters.
