If it comes down to costraining its dominant hand FK then constrain weapon to it then constrain the non dominant IK hand to the weapon

V excited abt proxima. I really like the idea of documenting the game dev process and communicating directly with your playerbase

Muscle under quads are hemstrings

Yeah to be honest it's hard for me to play multiplayer competitive games because of the hackers, at least on PC. That's what gives consoles the edge over PC games though. It's a lot more difficult to pull that off and when someone does it won't be on a large scale like it would be on PC

Is Concord the start of publishers rethinking about paid multiplayer games? Will the push for f2p be more common?

Harvey Newman for president! Cheers!

the one thing I'm worried about is the mass amount of low quality shovelware that will hit the market with ai made games and how it will drown out some really great games made by indie devs.

Great positivity Harvey! Looking forward to your game too!

I love that how optimistic you always are. Is inspiring. I think your game will be very good, watched the cinematics already, and hope to see soon some gameplay as well. Your studio is much more than a indie one, it is noticed how professionnal you are guys, as you said a double A studio?. You spoke about Steam, what other places, social media strategy do you think will be good for an indie dev to self-publish? Ithought about erotic games like Wild Life or Carnal Instinct, they are making a lot of money thru Steam and Patreon, but I do not like to make erotic games, anyway, thanks for sharing your point of view, much appreciated!

Awesome, thanks for the insight❤

Great video Harvey, thank you! If you don’t mind me asking, just wanna double check something with you please? If I am animating a shot for a cinematic (not video game gameplay) and I know the exact shot (like you did with the over the shoulder axe throw), It’s fine to just ‘animate’ and make it work just for that angle right? So if I know that is 100% the shot and angle they are gonna use, then if I break the model etc/weird poses, as long as it works and looks good for that angle, this is cool right? I am sure it is, as I have seen many behind the scenes of animators doing this. Plus it saves time, as if I know I am not seeing the feet or the face of my character then no need to animate it. Of course I know for gameplay it has to work for 360º, but for cinematic, it’s ok to cheat right?

Whats a QA?

Appreciate your openness about this. Many don't talk about the failures. You are absolutely correct about just doing your best. That's all you can do. And if the world doesn't like it or shoots you down, at least you know you did the best. The worst thing is not doing your best and acting like it was. Doing your best is the only insurance you have from the haters.

Wait until he plugs in a controller and sees how it changes from overhead perspective to third person.

In the beginning what books you was reading

Hello my name is Hamza. I want to be a story director in Disney is it possible with no grades?

Oh man, talking about dreams.. I really hope you enjoyed it! I have a few questions, though. Given the state of the gaming industry in recent years, have you noticed if indie or AA games are getting as much attention as AAA titles at Gamescom? Is there a noticeable difference in the crowd size and booth presence? Also, have you seen any emerging trends in game genres there? For example, last year, it was like roguelikes and some other genres dominated the indie scene.

hello,how are you?

Hi . I what this course ))))

I really want to do animation as a career. Im a sophomore in high school and the only thing im worried about is money. Like, what if I don't make enough? It's really scary because I don't want to do a job I hate just for money. I want to do a job I love! So would you say that animation as a career in GENERAL is okay for money? (I live in the US btw)

SO TRUE! Especially in games... How many times have we had a great idea in our backlog, and then one day, someone just makes it happen, right? One thing you also reminded me of is how you pitch your idea (even to yourself) really matters. People usually trust your idea only if you know how to present it well. After all, if we give the same idea to 10 people, it will be executed in 20 different ways.

Lovely cosy room Harvey! Where did you get the cabinet from that you keep your tech and mess in? I have a new office and definitely need something like that!

Hey Harvey, when will you be interviewing Jerome? :D

The course looks really interesting, will there be an update for Blender users at some point or will the course remain for Maya users? 🙂

A link to the video on the short woulda been nice, so dont have to go digging for it if at all.

I'm really excited about this course. Haven't joined it YET but definitely plan to :>

That sounds amazing. Thank you for the summary!

Already diving into the course today, great video once again! A big thanks for making the course affordable; even for a college animation student I find this to be a much worthwhile investment, and I cant thank you enough for that!

I bought the course!

Hi, I bought the plugin today, but I could not find which rig it works with, I would appreciate your help.

have you ever had that aha moment when animation just clicked for you. if so what caused it?

really happy i pre ordered your course :D

Great! Excited to follow along...at my own pace XD Congrats too! -Cheers!

Course looks absolutely fantastic! Congrats Harvey! 🙂

How do you call an animator that can animate most of things, but is not a Character Animator ? Is it just "Animator" ?

I also just started doing animation. These are some awesome tips, paying attention to the anticipation and hip angles. Very helpful😄

Thanks for responding so quickly to my other question! Last question: Will your workflow for making run cycles, stops and starts from mocap and pose overlaying (e.g. changing unarmed animations to rifle-carrying, etc) be in part 1 of the course? I've been working through all my MVN Link mocap dance cards to build out different sets for UE5.4's motion matching, but my workflow is definitely slower and more painful than I'd like it to be.

owuuh.. didn't know you did mocap 😅😅😅😅 Horrayy

Keep going Harvey. You got this!

Thank you so much for the callout, Harv! ❤🎉 Really appreciate you, bud. Best of luck with the course!

What Maya plugins are required/used for this course? Excited, but I’ve bought too many plugins already….

Just got the early bird access! Super excited 🎉 Hoping to make some cool mocap anims 💪

What game is it ??

🥰🔥Thanks for the shout out Harvey, very much appreciated! Wish you the best of success with this first course! Hope to talk to you soon.

Really cool that you're teaching this cause as you said not a lot of people teach mocap for animators and there's a bunch of opportunities for it in the industry. Gonna get the early bird promo myself! Thank you for doing this!

Awesome man! Glad to see it.

Is there a complete syllabus for the course? I don't see it on the site or this video. Or all of this still a wip?

I bought the course Early Bird! I'm looking forward to the classes. I already work with motion capture for cinematics, but I always try to update myself and look for different methods. I bought Richard Lico's course at the beginning of the year and I highly recommend it too. I'm from Brazil, sorry for my bad English

Woo, looking forward! Hope it goes well!!! 🤞 Does the course share the process of planning and recording mocap shoots? I'm super curious how big studios do mocap shoots differently, like if there is any industry trade secrets to it
