In three years, I went from having absolutely no experience in 3D Animation to working at DreamWorks Animation Studios teaching just about all of the 3D software used to make movies! After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on KZbin for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film!
This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible.
Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator!
You will not be disappointed.

[@NoeliaEncarnacion]

These scripts are awesome I really need to get the BHGhost a lot of students at AM are talking about it also I freaken love Tween Machine it saves me so much but defiantly going to check out the script with the graph editor seems really helpful . and a video on coding in maya sounds awesome

[@SirWade]

Absolutely! Thank YOU for the great tools haha

[@graphite9animation116]

@@SirWade Glad they help! Working on a brand new one right now as it happens! Hoping to release it in the next couple of weeks :)

[@parasarlenka823]

Oh my! Thank you so much for sharing the knowledge, Sir Wade. About the scripts- Yes please, a video about the scripts and a general idea of how someone without any knowledge in coding can make scripts would be very helpful. Thank you very much again

[@morbid1.]

most scripts are in python... if you want to write one you need to get into python coding. That is why "technical animator" or "technical artist" exists, it's a programmer who makes tools for artists.

[@SirWade]

@@morbid1. Not necessarily, I use a ton of scripts but I don't know python- I just use basic MEL scripting (I'd love to learn Python but haven't made the time yet) But yeah python is great if you're going to make real tools instead of basic scripts

[@chadbailey7038]

Amazing! I’m sharing this with EVERYONE

[@SirWade]

You're the best!!!

[@MADHATTER22]

thank god i know your channel your videos are really helpful

[@albatross_9184]

Nice video sir ✌️

I loved studio library it is helping me soo much thank you sooo much .............

[@animatornoble]

Really Awesome Video... Awesome Information, Keep doing wt your doing.. AWESOME... God bless you...

tks you so much , helpful

[@prodiggyson]

im interested on learning how to create scripts of my own please make video on basic scripting

[@JustZino]

TY!

[@mtjosvold]

Thank you for sharing some new helpful scripts! Aaron Koressel is a boss. I have used his scripts for a decade, but I am pumped to get some new time-savers in there. I also use X-Mouse button control to assign keys to my scroll wheel. Scripts like ackPushPull or scrubbing through the timeline are performed with a roll of the mouse wheel. It is quick and tactile. As others have pointed out, it is very surprising that Maya is not creating robust tools like this off the shelf. Especially considering that animation is so time consuming :/ where you at autodesk? Blender is pulling ahead in modeling pipeline...

[@kinteanimation6913]

Kindly help me with how to install Aaron Koressel

[@haroldtejero]

You're my Animator crush!!!

[@maeross]

My school provided me with almost all of these :D They created a school shelf and shared it, so cool

[@nickballard5975]

Which school if you don't mind me asking

[@MakeKnowledgeFree]

which camera are you using to recording ...it is comeing out great ...can you please make a video on how you recorded this video including all props and settings ... a new sub here :)

[@morbid1.]

it depends where you work but scripts are super helpful... simple humanoid rigging tool saves so much time I work in game dev so different "in house" scripts/tools are quite common and they make life easier.

[@gauravjain4249]

Thank you so much. It's so helpful to have an awesome project. Thanks for such a great help. I have no expirence about script have you made any video on it? dose script is important and helpful somewhere in Maya?

[@Oakbeast]

i got tired of having to select certain bones when i was skinning ended up making a quick script to select the bones and bound them to a key..made stuff faster and easier to do than i imagined.

[@Stories_behind_the_eye]

Scripts for dummies! Cool vid!

[@6foot6inc]

Hi @sirwadefx, I've been gaining lots of insight from your yt channel. Thank you! With regard to the cleverKeys scripts, can you clarify something I can't seem to find in the documentation or online? Is there supposed to be a GUI for it? Or once I've set up the script, I'm just setting it to a hotkey (as suggested "S") and then maybe add that to my shelf, and that's it? Thanks in advance!

[@joshuahidayat6134]

Make more video like this please!!

[@VinodPatel-tn1hf]

so helpful :) and does animation mentor mentors use these scripts in their teaching ?

[@koreanmunchkin9789]

This offer ended on my birthday... WHY DIDN'T I FIND THIS SOONER T___T

[@visionaryfilms]

have an issue, my move tool is grayed out, can't move anything. how to i get it back active again. new to maya, may need a step by step process. for now im stuck.

[@StillaliveShameWing]

will you do a video on making hotkeys and also where did you get those button tools?

[@SirWade]

I plan on it! And these are the buttons, I love them: bit.ly/2xILa8U

[@maxrose8845]

Funny that what makes Maya such a powerful tool has nothing to do with autodesk. Thank you Sir Wade, this is a great resource.

[@CartoonerAnimationist]

You can sync your channel box and graph editor natively in Maya.

[@jaycalvin3783]

I just have to make this comment :) You have been on KZbin for some time now and deserve a lot more subscribers in my opinion I love how you build up your videos and you are really skilled in what you do. That's what I love following you over the years it learned me a lot! Keep up brother making videos till this day won't be for nothing :)

[@SirWade]

Thanks dude!! :) I appreciate it!!

[@orkunsanal]

Definately want to know about custom scripts for those buttons. Please?

[@NathanaelXavier]

Is there a script to offset animation? For example, if I'd like to make an animation with 100 characters walking but want them to be walking at different times, there's gotta be a script out there that can offset the animation of each character without me having to go in the graph editor and drag around keyframes manually, right?

[@47humza]

I wish my school emphasized use of Maya. I'm using 3DS Max, butbim really wish I could have learned Maya as well

[@dathardcore1201]

What school do you go to if you dont mind me asking. We use Maya for animating at ACC. And model on 3ds Max

Does anyone know how to install aaronkoressel script please help

[@OleksandrVakhlis]

ViewSwitcher doesn't remember Show settings. Basicly, your shotCam shows only polygons, maybe lights but no controls and etc and this script switches to another view with setting from previous view. This is a minus as for me.

[@dannylionel342]

Can you do a video for Blender?

Anyone having trouble getting the Slide Animation to work? I keep getting this error - Cannot apply slide percentage

[@aleph-tav]

Found the error - If you have the Graph editor docked it doesn't pick up that you have the editor open. You have to have the editor open in it's own window for some reason

[@callumaustin9567]

Nice video. Here's the thing........ These tools ought to come with maya OUT OF THE BOX. The idea of having these funky scripts with different interfaces on a shelf somewhere....that need to be installed and updated every time a new maya gets released is SHIT. If you spend 2 - 3 grand on Maya..... you ought to have the tools to animate. Especially seeing character animation is supposed to be one of maya's strongest features.

[@AchHadda]

It is funny how most of these tools are fondamentale integrated in BLENDER for free. And still studios are scared to move to Blender :D

[@jozf8163]

Animbot is now a subscription service. I vote no. Wayne, I like your videos and I am learning a lot but I do not like subscriptions services... =(

[@SirWade]

They have a non-subscription option, so you can get it permanently too! Also it's Sir Wade, not Wayne 😂
