We're covering Unreal Engine, Blender, Cinema 4D (an maybe Maya if there's time), so hopefully nobodies left out! Lets gooooooo!

    • Hi thank you so much for maya tutorial, i found a way in maya which your costume rig will match exactly with base mocap, after retargeting. Its my honor if you check it out here, kzhead.info/sun/Y5yfpNeuiZ6vnok/bejne.htmlsi=bu3ZZ_OnRRxy80J1

  • Excellent, Excellent vid! Man, its amazing that just a few years ago, this kind of animation control was so much more convoluted and complex to do, to the point that layman artists would rather just stick with default animations and not even attempt anything more complex.. Now this is so easy, and especially thanks to vids like this and awesome folks like you and Sam to share this how-to info almost making it intuitive rather than difficult. Thank you!!!

  • Hey guys, at 46:16, when he's editing the animation in Nonlinear Animation, how is he adding a keyframe after changing the pose? I seem to be missing a step here and can't figure it out... 🤔

    @cmysliwiec@cmysliwiec3 ай бұрын

    • If I had to guess he has assigned a shortcut, so the menu doesn't have to pop up everytime the 'i' key is pressed. Sam did mentioned he's using an industry-standard keyboard layout so maybe that could be it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Another approach is auto-keying (wasn't enabled during the stream) enabling this then makes it easy to NOT focus on inserting keys manually. A couple of downsides to auto-keying are 1) it adds a key on all transforms (L/R/S) leading to two main issues: Unnecessary extra key clutter, and it affects the interpolation of the keys. 2) It's easy to lose track and forget that auto-keying is active. I would say use auto keying one way on the timeline (e.g., for rough character animation) followed by a cleanup, (delete and adjust key interpolation) of unnecessary keys, after that disable auto-keying and from there manually edit/add keys. Hope that helps :)

    • Was wondering the same thing. If you want my advice - Just Animate the character 1 frame backwards (to 0 or -1) and Do "animation / assume skin pose". This will give you the actual animated bones in a T pose frame. Then put your character on that T pose and add skin. Worked for me.
