How do i stop the cycle at a specific keyframe ? Because my character keeps moving forward without everstoping

great tut as always.. the only issue is the shadow.. it would be great to see the shadow around the feet to actually feel the contact on the ground but it doesnt work like that so i guess ambient occlusion is the only option.

do you know a way to insert keyframes in blenders graph editor without the other frames handles changing? n maya i can press insert keyframe and no othher handles will change . but in blender the other handles change

Damn this saves me so much time making walk animations good stuff!

Thank you!! I had no idea there was a version of atools for maya 2022+

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU

Hey Mark Ive been a big fan of your videos for a while, and I am working on a project that requires a Dinosaur rig picking up and throwing around another dinosaur rig (both referenced rigs) and I've tried your method of parent constraining, but it seems to be having trouble working. Would I follow the same process in this video? Or would the process be different?

Bro, you are great analyzer . please let me know which rig is best Lisa rig or Auto rig pro?

And then the game releases and is targeted at “Moderate Audiences” 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

Crushed this tutorial!

Great video thank you!! Quick question please Mark, should modern day 3D animators worry about understanding/using the ‘timing charts’ as seen in 2D animation, I mean its good to know the history behind them, but do they have any relevance in todays environment please?

what plugins do you use? i just use default maya student version

Extremely helpful tutorial!

Man KZbin ads are so annoying a ada ever theee minutes

Pls recommend a làptop

Great tutorial. Thanks a lot.

where can i get this rig? can i buy it somewhere?

RESPECT 100

whole animation in 3hrs is good, fascinating!

I turned on this video to see Dirk The Daring From Dragons Lair!

Thanks for telling me that blender has master control because now I could make the kids as fuck back-and-forth in different locations thanks to you I’m honestly am grateful because I was questioning how does animators make the characters walk back in different locations in blender but you just made a simpler thank you so much 1:34

Great take packed with insights. For any creator out there who needs to hear this. You can relax into it all. The brain must leave the body and heart alone sometimes and let things flow naturally. Taking good care of health before all else can be the difference between keeping a passion and watching it die for good. Discipline, inspiration and motivation can help sometimes but water do not need motivation to flow. Keep doing what makes you happy in life.

Hii mark ... can you please create a dinosaur walk cycle tutorial?

I copied and pasted the starting pose but it just overwrites it without having both

Thank you. please Learn about connetion of Control and Joint by Offset Parent Matrix. Thanks again

Thank you very much for the tips!

Thanks so much Mark! Awesome tutorial! You helped me to finish my homework for college 😅

Flip Script is not working please tell me how to add in maya ?

2023 doesnt work

❤

Been playing games all my life and in the more recent years i've come to both have a great respect and lack of respect for devs. To make it simple, since more than a few years back, i have a blacklist of both developers and publishers which i NEVER pre-purchase from, even rare still that i actually buy a game from them.. at all, *Ubishit* being one of them. And i simpy have no respect for talented developers who wants to throw their talens away working for a company that constantly releases broken AAA titles . And more recently we have these RL agendas being forced into games.. the DEI , the woke, the lgbtq .. all these agendas destroying games, and any devloper who's OK with this... imo has no integrity. Here's a situation that happened at Bioware during the development of Anthem. Anita Sarkeesian visited ... and started making some pointers and comments, when she knows NOTHING about developing a back - and she's a hardcore agenda woke feminist . The devs at Bioware Edmonton were pissed - for a good reason - she had as much to do there giving pointers as i do at an astro-physics class.. I find the best games are nowdays indie games made by small teams of talented new developers or even veteran developers who quit their company to start a new with likeminded devs who just wanted to make a good game... and they end up doing it. Look at Blizztard, they've been hemoraging their veteran staff for years .. seasoned developers and project managers are leaving blizztard like rats jumping a sinking ship. I think being a developer is like being in a bad relationship, if you're not happy and you can't work it out.. LEAVE and get something better, being at a workplace you're not happy, destroys your soul. Look at Crate Entertainment and their mega-hit Grim Dawn, i followed that game from backing and early access when max lvl was 15 , but i stuck with it and donated money because of the progress i saw and the communication the devs has with the supporters. Now that game is considered one of the best ARPG's in recent history... and what's even more funny is that they had ex-blizztard developers contact them for employment because .. they liked what they saw.. So in the end. If you're a developer who worked on a DEI/woke infested game that utterly *bombed* at sales and people got layed off... i couldn't care less, i would actually be happy . A DEI-game that bombs at sales.. is a *victory* for game industry and gamers. But if you're a developer that either officially quit your studio in protest of some forced DEI Agenda crap , i have the outmost respect for you - same if you're part of a small team and you take 6-7 years to make a *great* game - i tip my hat to you, give you my money ...happily. /Edit. I just checked your game *Exodus* , and it really looks awesome, i hope you have great progress, an amazing launch and sales. Goodluck.

Insightful 💡🔥🤩

Your instagram id sir?

this is useful!

please make a video about muscle pass and fat pass

can you make a this tuorial in short by useing Space Switching - FREE blender addon, i don't undertand how to use this workflow with this!! short video tutorial plz!! you can search this addon on youtube!! this the title of the addon video!!

I left this industry and never looked back. Now im in the VFX industry. I will never go back. Killed my passion for games. 😢

Loved it, listened to it like a podcast

I love that you're an active professional in the industry that has fully embraced blender 🤩🙏. So many turn their noses up at good ol' Blender.

@MarkMastersAnim Listen Mark, I know it feels bad for you. But imagine that some game developers will never have any chance to work with Blizzard, no matter how hard they work or how much they learn. Only because our location is in Europe, not in the US. And you know, I really feel sorry for you. But since most of the worldwide game industry is still centered in the US, you will always have more chance to find game related jobs, than us, European developers... So I understand your struggle at one point, but I don't understand in some other points. You will have luck, because you're american. Then why do you cry actually? I would need to relocate to a different continent to be able to get the same amount of recognition in the game industry as you. You were born into the right place.

Man, I feel so bad for you. As someone trying to break into the industry, it’s a hard time to be looking for a job right now.

In games industry for 25 years, layoffs come with the business unfortunately. You have to have a surfers mindset; the waves are not always good, but you can stay in shape, work on your balance, study the horizon, and set yourself up for the next set of waves when the surf returns.

Man I feel like the industry has no place for someone like me. I'm not an exceptionally skilled individual I'm a Graphic Designer who tries his best and wants to get into illustration and character design alongside my graphic work. The fact is I am mediocre compared to already well-established people in the field. I started this late at 30, and graphic design at 28, I'm years if not decades behind many people. I don't feel like there is a lot of space in the industry for someone like me. But I've shifted my focus to creating my own space and making my own game projects however small or insignificant to make my own job. I realise in the modern age there isn't a space for everyone in work no matter how much ppl tell you not everyone is skilled enough to compete when competition is so hard nowadays, some people have money, some are gifted, some have connections, some get lucky.

THX for this tut! What are your scripts/tool on top shelf? Cheers

Mark, how do you add a new animation without it returning to the center of the world?

How do we make the control shape though???

I just want to say that you are so fortunate to have found a job a month or so after your layoff. I amongst hundreds of animators have been in 8 month grinds to find work. My last studio was Disney in August of 2023 and with 13 plus years of experience I bounced from two different temp jobs to finally land in a senior gameplay animator role. Its really tough out there. Feel blessed and keep animating and teaching! For those who are still on the search, keep working on your animations, love for the craft will carry you through. If you dont love it anymore, take some time off and explore, find what you love to do outside art... and then if art or animation calls you back, you will know what to do. ❤

You did the creature animation for Dauntless?? That's awesome

I hope to see more indie studios step up and take risks to make amazingly unique games the big studios wouldn't try. Also, do the people laid off have just like tons of savings? How do people not default back into some crap job ? ..or be an indie and survive? The college degrees are so inspiring, but I didn't do a full college degree or anything, so.. building my portfolio, but also wondering if those affected by tech layoffs are also good at budgeting.
