[@sargent_0]

Thank you alot!

[@issac7787]

Thank you friend!

[@exccit1547]

Great Video. Finally someone who doesnt tell you that you can get free animations from another website when you want to learn it.

[@alaslipknot]

Hands down this is growing into the best Blender channel on youtube, Thank you!

[@juanignaciogil-hutton4971]

⭕Nice tips! If I may add something, I think keying sets are fundamental but at the same level, if not higher, is the NORMALIZE button. Usually, rotation values in the graph editor get to big next to location values; the normalize button puts everything between -1 and 1 making the action much easier to read. I recommend to always work with normalize option on, because you are going to be more interested in how the values change in time instead of knowing the exact value a key is set on.

[@Tomie-jz6lz]

The best easiest tutorial I've found. He explained everything perfectly

[@BrianKouhi]

Great video! There's definitely a lot of ways to animate, but for me, specially in a production, I set keys on all of the controllers for each Main pose. This way I can have a Blocking to show once it's converted to Step, as well as, easy in-betweens by borrowing from previous and next key frame, for each controller. If I need to delay the action on arm for example, I can grab the arm controllers in-between my 2 main keys, and press Shift-E and drag my mouse closer to the previous main key. There's definitely a little bit of cleaning up to do for dead keys on the graph editor, but I find this works best for me.

[@pierreducos4387]

^^^ *Absolutely. Agreed.* With BLOCKING, at least, using the "Whole Character" keying set prevents any 'bone-drifting' over your key poses. (See Pierrick Picaut's "Everything you need to know about Keying" ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJm8ZWmprNR2rpY ) ) the "Available" keying set ALSO works, if you've keyed your character's transform channels BEFORE animating.

[@ryanb6503]

My biggest tip is parenting. If you parent your object to something like an empty before you animate you can move it around your scene a lot easier

[@rontarrant]

I'm amazed at how often video tutorial makers say "go ahead and." Once you hear it, you can't un-hear it.

[@KevinCBurke]

Just wanted to say that this video is so much better made than many tutorials and the tips are invaluable. Thank you very much!

[@aortaplatinum]

13 minutes ago I was super against the handle timeline thing and just animated everything from layout view, but now that I know how it works, it's way less intimidating. Thanks man Also I love how doofy this chicken is

[@cerocero2817]

This looks great but I don't know if I could live with the stress of knowing I may animate for minutes with the wrong keying set active.

[@Astrolog_tarolog1]

Hello! I doing content about animation in blender. I will gratefully if you check my content. Thank you!

[@phantomarchive]

Best blender channel

[@brandonjacksoon]

Thank you!!! Really cool tutorial! Love your channel and your cute characters :))

[@SouthernShotty]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sanzay.]

This is All I needed!

[@shwarma_ketchup.123]

0:15 No it doesn't look messy it looks great and professional especially the lighting!

[@gillesker]

Super useful video, as I'm transitioning from cinema 4d to Blender. Thank you.

[@inal_0]

i love this channel

[@ralphmoreau2768]

Amazing as always thank you.

[@BenLe42]

A hecka bunch of great tips, ta

[@JavaJack59]

Those named timeline markers are gold.

[@zalhietzli]

Incredibly useful, thank you !

[@DryadDryAgain]

So many awesome tips here! Autokeying's initial convenience definitely swamped me going forward. Also markers will be my new best friend.

[@whiskerbiscuit6674]

I didn't watch the whole thing, but you are one of the few blender people who can actually make decent animation. Usually it's some one who is teaching how to set key frames and fcurves and "animating" janky movements that only qualify as animation in the loosest of terms. Their effort is recognized but this actually looks good.

[@saratravain]

Great video!

[@animanoir]

Organization is the KEY concept to work with Blender in my opinion.

[@ragnardimarzo]

Thanks for your excellent tutorial!

[@keithtam8859]

Thank you, I am animation beginner, Life saver sir

[@geneticallygamer]

I totally forgot about the other types of keyframe colours lol. That would be really useful for me

[@dudu8879]

Great! squash and stretch chicken!

[@joeboulden7042]

Concise and clear. Nice tutorial. Thanks!

[@CaCriGuz]

Thank you so much, I was looking for this information. :)

[@CrispPapa]

You should get commission from the university since our professor is using your videos as supplemental modules. BTW thank you for making this I would be failing with out this lol.

[@DHPshow]

Just what I was looking for 😍

[@mrhollywood5285]

GREAT !!!

[@KatlinSchirmer]

Wonderful Tutorial! Thanks dear!

[@articlehunter6236]

the best blender my friend 😍😍👍🏿👍🏿

[@oldnigga4957]

Very detailed thank u

[@CarlyTho]

For those who may have issues with renaming the markers like I did, it's F2 in Blender 3.6

[@snithikswar]

thank you!

[@christopherwong1782]

hey can you do some tips on matte painting and filling the background using tracking?

[@Nippiy]

This was helpfull ty.

[@cinemauntold]

can you make video of mastering spline and polishing

[@truvu6238]

very good

[@GinoZump]

01:56 or press I while hovering over it

[@kenalpha3]

Wow thanks. You covered important things and showed where to go. Blender 3: How can I focus/center view (aimbot camera) so that the camera stays centered on a [specific finger bone] (while playing the animation), since the entire body rocks too much - thus it's hard to see how the thumb moves (since thumb moves out of viewport while playing the animation)?

[@senthilselvan]

how do you do that clay animation you use in every video

[@billygoatea7171]

New subscriber here your work is amazing I've been watching your channel for awhile now can u please make a more detail or longer video on animating for beginners

[@kingdesignerr]

Any plugin for good awesome animation

[@RS-en1vj]

Thanks bruh ;

[@pintoleo]

許せん！hoje am I suppose to learn anything without decorations on the background. Just kidding nice video

[@jaysonfontela5761]

❤

[@bagfellow6209]

Great video my dude! Quick question do you or anyone know how to turn on ghost for 3d animation. I looked everywhere for it but could not find it. I'm using 3.5 and it seems to only appear in older versions. Not sure if it goes by a different name or was just removed completely.

[@ChespinBlue]

I noticed that the tips are numbered wrong while taking notes, so just continued and wrote it as 1 2 3 4 6 7 7 8 9 10

[@hillfortherstudios2757]

Is there a way to retroactively insert a bunch of actions into an animation? For example, If I have created an animation with 10 different movements happening in my animation but then I realize I want to insert an action between #3 and #4, is there an easy way to do that?

[@bluecloud111]

Is there a way to create a shortcut for single keyframes?

[@Walt3D]

I can't seem to access the file for the rig in blender, says the page no longer exists?

[@shivangipriya4153]

what I must press to add maker to timeline??? thank you

[@rayotoxi1509]

help i keyframed a character its moving as i want in the editor view but the moment i render it it just dosent move physics are applyed to it i see the arms fall becuse i didnt keyframed it yet but the parts i keyframed just dosent move how do i fix this

[@IridiumZero]

[@kaktusengineering5072]

How did you make a fingerprints texture on your forest character?

[@shakibhossain7460]

Hi there I am trying to learn houdini and blender geometry nodes system but I am finding it really hard and confusing . If I get a basic Idea of Node.Js will it help me in blendee and houdini node base Animations .

[@BradCaldwellAuburn]

Let's say I import 5 copies of a pre-animated object. I want to spatially offset the copies, but I also want to offset the phase of cycle. In other words, I want the copy at left to be at its frame 2 while copies to right are at their frame 11, 19, 21, 32. As the timeline plays, I want each to progress, so that you can see a window of animation in any single frame. However, when I change the start frame for one copy, it changes it for all the copies. So once again, Blender seems to make it impossible to do the things you want. Any ideas? Also, it doesn't seem to be responding to me moving one copy spatially either (seems to move all the copies). Maybe it is just overloaded and can't handle it.

[@Baloney_man]

what are channels?

Also, is Blender difficult to learn because the default options make no sense?
