[@richerworldproductions]

De nada. Espero que tenha ajudado.

[@stu797]

Thanks for this, just what I needed. Though it needed a bit of lateral thinking. My Mixamo was walking in place, and his legs appear not to be connected to the rest of him .So I selected the legs seperately and did the same operation. It worked a treat.

[@MrMadalien]

Thank you so much! By the way for anyone who has issues with the z location not actually causing the character to go forward, try the other axis (for example x) because the mixamo model may have different axis for movement especially if it's a custom model.

[@richerworldproductions]

excellent advice.

Awsome tutorial bro! Really clear and usefull. I only would like to know a way to add keyframes in the timeline of what we just made with the graph editor in order to send a complete animation to UE5. Is there any way to do that?

[@richerworldproductions]

i don't believe it is possible, due to the fact you're really just fooling Blender. Check out THIS tutorial, it may be of more help to you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6S1aIR_hqhqiKc&ab_channel=RicherWorldProductions

Quick question how do i get my model to do the animation ? as after I download it and import it , it stays in a T pose .

[@fabricem966]

very good ! thank you !

[@shoaibakhtar4934]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@RodieOsc]

Wow this one is really good !! but i did notice one thing when it goes to the next set of frames the animation has a little hiccup glitch, it drops height every segment. not noticeable if played in realtime but if you play by frame you can see the shift

[@richerworldproductions]

I have no idea why that would occur. Try saving, shutting it down and re-opening. If it does not show in realtime, ignore it.

[@RodieOsc]

@@richerworldproductions so it looks like the Y Location on the hip keeps making the animation go down even though everything is the same.

[@StanFordVideoChannel]

Thank you very much, very helpful.

[@the_lightling]

im still stuck with the last part mine is in a loop and docent extend. there are also many place for the z. the animation i using is called running

[@richerworldproductions]

play the animation and click off the WRENCH symbol beside each bone, until it does what it is supposed to.

[@REAL_READ]

Great easy to follow tutorial! I followed along and made the character to walk/run infinitely on Blender but once I imported it into Unity, the character doesn't move at all. I wonder what step(s) I might have missed. I know this is a 2-year old video but hope someone here could help.

[@toapyandfriends]

Thanks so much that was seriously awesome and easy

[@3dmatt16]

You are a life saver

[@Olstman]

Cool! Is it possible to make it run along the curve? (but not to use method "Run in place " with path constrain)

[@richerworldproductions]

yes, once you have the animation set, use the steps you would normally use to have a character, or object follow a path. It will take some tweaking, but it is possible.

[@Olstman]

@@richerworldproductions Thanks. Will experiment with this

[@blenderarchitecture3331]

ohh finally i found this step

[@wanbungus]

you are literally the best omg

[@Nibot2023]

Seems like after the initial walk cycle it starts to "slip" and not be in place prior. What would fix that?

[@richerworldproductions]

without viewing your process, or file I really can't say. My only advice would be, start from scratch and see if you missed a step. Or, maybe try a different walk cycle.

[@briansxml]

too

[@Nibot2023]

@@richerworldproductions I believe it was because I slide the graph to offset zombie walks as oppose to using the timeline area to offset. I found another way to loop using the "N" key menu while hovering over the graph and using the drop down menu for cycle - cycle offset. Copy and paste will add to all channels and then tell the post and pre behavior to repeat. Basically same as you are doing.

[@toapyandfriends]

Except in mine I had to do it on the Y axis the y location for linear extrapolation

[@gonca9502]

Thaks man very helpful

[@ingenieroaj6345]

Hey somebody can give me a little help here! ?? I did alll the steps and everything is fine. But I need to create full keyframes like the first cicle, because when I export it the movement is not showed, just in the blender animation... :(

[@LERNIK-fy4eb]

Hey, i have a problem. In graph editor in the list in the left and bottom side of the screen I have a lot of mixamorigs instead of the armature. What do I do?

[@richerworldproductions]

Follow all of the steps the same, but when you need to click off the monkey wrench, do it on the mixamorigHIPS. That will give you the proper result.

[@travismiller1209]

So im trying this an the animation works but when it starts to repeat the character stops moving its arms and legs and continues moving forward and almost hopping... Any fixes?

[@richerworldproductions]

i am not sure why this is happening at all. My only advice would be to try it again following the video. Something may have been missed along the way. If it happens again...I don't know how to fix it, without doing it myself..

[@travismiller1209]

@@richerworldproductions I did it 3 times and it’s still happening even after following the video step by step each time. I assume it’s something in my blender project but I have no idea

[@jakwnr961]

Hi. When I activate the Grapfic editor there is not only X, Y, Z, W, but hips, spine, neck, shoulder, left shoulder, right shoulder and so on. Where do I deactivate my Monkey franchise key??? There are too many of them, I try with everyone but instead of extending the loop, the character begins to make strange movements. 😞

[@richerworldproductions]

usually the hips, but if that does not work, just turn them off one at a time, and you will find it.

Hello Richer World. I keep having an issue can you help please? I imported Timmy / Start Walking and followed you step by step but at frame 94 the character slides. Please help I must be doing something wrong. Thank you

[@richerworldproductions]

without having your files, it is hard for me to figure out what could be going wrong. Try it with a different character, or walk cycle and see if one of those may be the problem.

[@Sijarians]

Very easy to do, Many thanks, Need need more help, I have used this method and I want to stop this animation at a certain frame, Now how to do this?

[@djborntrager9003]

The timeline editor all you do is where you want the frame to end ty[e in the ending frame where it says end and the animaton will stop!

[@basedhuzaifa]

can we export this animation to unreal engine?

[@brunoriyuoficial]

Nice!

[@Anik4Life]

is there any other way than Shift E to bring up that menu? I am in Inddustry compatible UI and that thing doesnt work and I cant seem to find the alternative way of choosing from a menu ! many thanks

[@richerworldproductions]

I am not sure of other ways to bring up the menu, but I will advise that you make sure your cursor is WITHIN the graph area before pressing. If it is not, it won't come up.

[@Anik4Life]

@@richerworldproductions i changed the UI to blender standard, that helped!

[@QuantayPeoples]

I simply open the graph editor. I don't see the keyframes from my Mixamo animation. I press Shift + E on the selection anyway and nothing happens. I close Blender. Thank you.

[@richerworldproductions]

make sure the armature is selected.

[@synsam12345]

Even easier: Just rightclick the Z location name (that has the wrench) and do the linear extrapolation from there.

[@theonefreeman7157]

Is there a method to stop it at a certain point? So I can transition to another animation

[@richerworldproductions]

Sorry, no. Not with this process...this is just to make it infinite. I will be creating a new video where you can just extend animations to a point, for transitioning. Keep watching.
