Thanks for the video Alexandre Albisser, it is really helpful to see full uncut or detailed tutorial of how you do it, and the key points to considered in this process.
Nice. But need more info hjow to parent things starting from 1:44, I see too many options and have no idea what to click =( "Set the weight to each coorespondend bone" - how to do that? If I click weight I can only change the number... Don't see any relations buttons there.
When you parent the mesh to the armature with "empty groups" that creates vertex groups (see on the right of the screen) If you look at what I am doing, I am first selecting some vertices on the 3D view, then choosing the vertex group (on the right pannel) to which I want to assign them (the vertex groups has the same names as the bones of the armature), and then clicking on assign to set the weight of the selected vertices to 1 for the vertex group I selected (which is itself linked to the bone of the same name) Basically that's what is called "skinning", you set the control influence of each bone on the mesh using the vertex group. That's a standard rigging practice, for which there are more detailed tutorials Hope that helps!
@@alexandre.albisser I found a problem for me... So what I do is: 1) cut the box 2) create armature and pin bones to the boxes edges 3) choose Armature as a parent object After doing step 3 - there are no vericle groups ( Maybe I have to make them first before I assign armature as a parent object?
@@alexandre.albisser It worked! Also found out that to move parts I had to go from Object Mode (orange outlines) to "Pose mode" (blue lines). Again thank you for being a patient teacher ♥
You can do that either by switching the texture with the" backfacing" output of the Geometry info node in the shader, or with a different shader and a solidify modifier to create thickness and two different sides, then which you can switch the material for each side with the Material index property of the modifier!
I am assigning the vertex group corresponding to each bone to some vertex of the mesh. This step is called weight painting or skinning and it is one of the main steps of assigning an armature for deformation. The kind of visualization I put on the screen is about the best way I could find to explain how to set the weight for this armature!
Hi I saw in ur final clip that the box have thickness and look more realistic, how did u create a thickness to a plane image, tried several ways and not working, thx
If you put solidify modifier on a plane which has some transparent parts, then the sides will just be transparent, hence your double image with space in between. The solidify only thickens the existing geometry so you must cut your plane to the exact shape of the box first for the modifier to create side thickness where you cut it, and make sure to remove the alpha in the shader in this case.
Thanks! At the time almost everything was based on rigid body simulations, but I have moved to a more controlled geometry node based setup, I made a tutorial about it recently!
Very good tutorial, the only problem and that I see through my card package (as at the beginning) of your video. And I can’t change ... anyone knows how to help me?
If the problem is only happening in Eevee or in the Material Preview mode, the issue is probably the "Show Backface" option under the Settings tab of the Material Properties. You can access it only when the Render Engine is set to Eevee.

I'm currently designing my own pack of cards, it would be great if there was some way I could use your exact animation but with my own deck. Is it possible for you to sell me the file in some way and have me *easily* switch out the image?
Thanks for asking, unfortunately that's not something I plan to do, I try to make it as accessible as possible with all the tutorials and some free files and systems on my gumroad, but anything beyond that and we will be looking at too many commercials that look too similar.
@@alexandre.albisser Thank you for your response I appreciate it. I'm looking at making a pack of cards for a small livestream community that regularly receives 100-150 viewers daily. I'd like to make a promotional video to advertise the cards. It's a passion project, it's my first time doing anything like this. I'm not that particular about exactly how it looks, almost anything would do. I don't have the experience myself to make a video, I only have limited experience with 3d modelling and none with animation.

Excellente vidéo alexandre Pour rester dans l'animation de boite qui se plie toute seule il y aune vidéo que j'ai vu et qui m'as marqué c'est celle ci th-cam.com/video/tfwy1hYmmME/w-d-xo.html la création du personnage au début avec les différentes partie qui volent et qui s'assemblent jusqu’à la 10 seconde. Ce serait bien d'avoir un tuto sur ça
Very nice and practical tutorial! I like this approach and the lack of unwrapping needed.
100% agree. Can't wait to try it out.
easy, straightforward, clean Thanks mate
Glad it could help!
very nice tutorial, you gave me many useful tricks in less than 3 minutes
Glad to hear that!

Glad you like it!
I'll put this video higher on my to-do list then :)
@@alexandre.albisser Bro make slow video so beginners can follow steps along
Big fan of this intro. Nice work!
Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot bro, it took me a while to figure out
Stunning work! Would love to see how you animated the deck of cards also. 👍
Thanks a lot! I will add that to the tutorial todo list :)

@@alexandre.albisser Omg! Thank you!!! That was a very fast and amazingly step by step answer! ♥
@@alexandre.albisser I found a problem for me...

After doing step 3 - there are no vericle groups ( Maybe I have to make them first before I assign armature as a parent object?
@@msFiBi you must parent to the armature using Ctrl P, which opens a menu from which you choose the "empty group" option, which creates all the groups
@@alexandre.albisser It worked! Also found out that to move parts I had to go from Object Mode (orange outlines) to "Pose mode" (blue lines). Again thank you for being a patient teacher ♥
Just watched!! Very helpful, This is exactly what I'm looking for 👏
Glad to help!
The rigging looks interesting. Would be useful to see it in more detail, how to rig!
THX
Thanks for your comment! Will probably do more in depth uncut walkthroughs later in the future
@@alexandre.albisser we are waiting for this detailed video. hope you get a chance to make it for us.
Hey thanks for this, I loved the pace nice and snappy
nice tutorial, really love it 😁
Glad you liked it!
Great tutorial!! I just can't figure out how to make the inner part have a white texture instead of the outer graphic. How could I do that?
You can do that either by switching the texture with the" backfacing" output of the Geometry info node in the shader, or with a different shader and a solidify modifier to create thickness and two different sides, then which you can switch the material for each side with the Material index property of the modifier!
Great video! Learnt a lot but i couldn't understand what you did at 1:57. Can you please explain?

Hi
I saw in ur final clip that the box have thickness and look more realistic, how did u create a thickness to a plane image, tried several ways and not working, thx
Even solidify modifier is just doubling the image with a space between .
If you put solidify modifier on a plane which has some transparent parts, then the sides will just be transparent, hence your double image with space in between. The solidify only thickens the existing geometry so you must cut your plane to the exact shape of the box first for the modifier to create side thickness where you cut it, and make sure to remove the alpha in the shader in this case.
Nice tutorial
GREATE TUTORIAL SIR , BUT WHERE CAN I GET THE BOX DESIGN TEMPLATE?
GLAD YOU LIKED IT, THE BOX TEMPLATE ITSELF WILL DEPEND ON THE MANUFACTURER, BUT YOU COULD GET ONE BY PRYING OPEN A CHEAP TUCK CASE AND SCANNING IT.
please can you make it slowly for beginner please like in details please when you are selecting options in blender pleas introduce first thanks
can i use this in commercial ad ?
This is a free ressource , you can do what you want with this knowledge
:D your so cool and greate,how did you create the animation of cards
Thanks! At the time almost everything was based on rigid body simulations, but I have moved to a more controlled geometry node based setup, I made a tutorial about it recently!
@@alexandre.albisser Wow thats great!!! May I know the tutorial name ?
@@emmanm5633 it's one of the latest on the channel "How I Made Creative Playing Cards Animations"

good job!
what kind of add-ons are you using?
Thanks a lot! Do you mean in my general workflow or in this particular video?

really wish you told us things like "Where to find the loop cut option" in this video so i didn't have to watch two videos at once
Sorry about that, usually Ctrl+R does the trick!
