This tutorials covers how to create a more advanced type of facial rig, showing you how to use the “stretch to” constraint to give the face a more fluid way of animating. The “stretch to” is great for things like lips and eyelids (which is shown in this tutorial); in addition, I show you how to make the eyelids “stick” to the eyeball surface, so there’s no unwanted gap between the two while animating.

Blender’s constraint system offers a very powerful feature-set. In this video tutorial we will look at how to rig a piston using several constraints.

Using soft bodies and a wind force you can take a lowly plane with a very simple texture and make it look like a realistically billowing flag.

In this tutorial we are going to look at how to animate a gear train in Blender with constraints, such that all the gears follow the lead of a single empty. This technique offers a much cleaner system with less margin for error

A nice zoom technique where a focused object keeps its original size, but you see more and more of the background. You often see that in films and thats why I called it ‘cinematic zoom’ first. Later on I was told that its actually called a ’vertigo zoom’.
