SouthernShotty, a well-known 3D Artist and tutorial-maker, has recently shared an extensive guide detailing the process of creating an appealing rubber hose 3D character rig, reminiscent of old-school Disney cartoons from the 1930s and video games like Cuphead and Mouse.
Proving that the rubber hose art style isn't confined to 2D art exclusively, SouthernShotty's tutorial delves into character modeling basics in Blender, explaining how to set up bendy limbs for your characters, and dives deep into the rigging process, demonstrating how to create flexible, easy-to-animate rigs that capture the unique motion characteristics of rubber hose animation.
According to the author, the guide is perfect for both beginners and intermediate users who'd like to learn more about preparing Cuphead-style 3D characters for animation and refresh their knowledge on the basic rigging techniques in Blender.
