DAZ Studio : Unrigging and Animating Props

Episode 1 of my new animated visual novel The MRU Chronicles is now available! Check it out here: https://youtu.be/DH7z1vJ5FW4 Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well and you're having a great 2022 so far! :) This tutorial covers some animation I created for the first episode of my new visual novel series: The MRU Chronicles. It involves having Lara, our Genesis 8 Squad Pilot, kicking off a pair of Genesis 2 Surf's Up flip flops she's wearing as she walks toward a hot tub to enjoy her evening. :) Creating the animation involved the following steps: 1. Unrigging a pair of Genesis 2 Surf's Up flip flops. 2. Creating separate right and left flip flop props from Step 1. 3. Applying rigged Genesis 2 flip flops to Lara. 4. Brining the Unrigged Flip Flops into the scene. 5. Moving the unrigged flip flops into position. 6. Creating cool animation for the unrigged flip flops. Chapter markers have been added to allow quick access to information you'll hopefully find useful. :) I hope you find the content in this video really helpful.
