In this video, Paul “hops” back to his previous train of thought, getting an idea to use what he learned about “locations” to transfer mesh movements (namely, facial deformations) between two meshes with non-matching topology.Read More →
Tackling one of his most requested topics, Paul takes his first steps into procedural environments using Bifrost – starting with a simple object scattering graph that he’ll be able to use again and again on any mesh!Read More →
“Mad Scientist” Paul’s next experiment is to fuse together multiple references and combine them into a single result, giving him a “Frankenstein’s monster” of all the best / most useful parts! It’s alive, it’s alive!Read More →
Better satisfied with his explanation of Bifrost’s basics this time, Paul starts tackling a new subject: Locations. To demonstrate, he uses them to build a neat little projection-based deformer.Read More →
Continuing his previous basics rundown, Paul explains the idea of point data and vectors using strands. He then uses some simple math to build a cool twist deformer.Read More →

Expanding on the skills he established in the previous tutorial, Paul builds a blink/wink ON TOP of his eyeball-driven eyelid deformer, yielding a very complex (and customizable!) deformation that can be controlled with a single value.Read More →
All of Paul’s conceptual explorations begin to bear practical fruit as he combines his blendshape mixer with his data-passing skills to create a reusable eye-lid solver that reacts to the movement of an eyeball!Read More →
With his basic blendshape mixer built, Paul digs up an old friend from his Softimage days to help him build a “blink”. However, this isn’t just ANY blink, but rather a blink where he can precisely control the deformation along a curve!Read More →
Things start to get more and more practical as Paul uses the skills he’s developed so far to start building his very own Blendshape mixer. Suddenly, the modeling and rigging potential of Bifrost becomes very clear.Read More →
