Dreams (PS4) Tutorial - Idle Animations

This is a tutorial for adding Idle Animations to your Character in Dreams :)

[@thursdaypancakes5851]

The music is nice but the videos with your voice are much better

[@ruolbu]

honestly, perfect format for tutorials. Recently I started watching these 1 minute lazy blender tutorials and realized I dont have the time or patience for these 10 to 30 minute videos you see everywhere. I love this quick and dense style with only text.

[@stanleypgreen1]

How could any mere mortal figure out how to do this? Thanks for this!

[@MasDouc]

What's the point of the OR gate? Why don't we just go straight from the NOT gate? When NOT standing still and grounded, stop animation. I'm sure there is a reason just not sure why, that part lost me.

[@jamespennington6428]

Make sure the Calculator output is the result, I accidentally made it operand 2

[@MrWooshie]

Also, this base is available and remixable! Look for "Platforming Puppet" :) Link: indreams.me/element/oZsixvprCSN

[@lowlytarnished7672]

Your vids are so helpful. Thanks!

[@taqresu5865]

I'm just binging these tutorials before I get started on my characters.

[@anasbakhit4303]

this video helped me greatly 😀 the only issue with it is that I kinda don't recommend it to people who just learned how to rig and wire their puppets, it's way too Fast to follow and the video move much faster than the texts on screen which is a bit of a headache to what to follow, other than that if you're decent at making puppets and wanted to go deep on wiring your puppet's logics like me then this video is cool, though still a bit fast.

I got it to work for an enemy but I copied the whole microchip over to another character and erased the keyframes on each timeline. I then made a new animation for the player and for some reason the timeline is only going to about a third of the way and not playing the whole animation. (It's about 3 seconds long but is only playing up to 1 second). Any ideas why and how to fix? EDIT: I think it might be because my puppet leaves the ground as he jumps into a kneeling position, however, this is odd as in the video the puppet jumps off the ground to land as well but there are not issues.. I've fixed it by lifting the puppets feet slightly off the ground in keyframes where he touches the ground.

I have a looping idle as a stance for a fighting game, how do you make it inactive while attacking so that it does not clash with the attack animations? thanks

[@ItzMisterBlitzer]

Maybe make it so that every move has a tag, and the idle's microchip has an emmiter set to "here" with a not gate plugged into the idle.

[@AshenAF92]

So is a microchip like a folder? Exists simply to organize better?

[@nicktubara]

yeh something like that.

[@colorfulbat5782]

What if I want just one animation to play as idle. What do I do then?

[@portalj123]

the videos nice but its just a little to fast

[@SuperSpindasher1991]

Is there a way to prevent the idle animation from triggering while the character is running?

[@redhood_dj]

did you ever find a way around this? Its so annoying

[@Nickname-lm7ch]

Hey could you make a tutorial on how to make ragdoll deaths? Thanks.

[@Rot_Soft]

Neonthecoder has a tutorial on this.

[@Nickname-lm7ch]

Where'd your voice go?

[@traytonsorensen8352]

I got the problem is it keeps teleporting to the location of where I animated the key frame any tips?

[@scifiguy7309]

Is it still possible to trigger the idle animations by replacing the movement sensor with the Idle Strength output of the Puppet Interface?

[@reggiefaunteroy9427]

I have a problem where the animation only partly plays. Any help?

[@lilian1812]

Hey Great tutorial...I've a question for you...I'm doing a custom walk animation and the first and last keyframe are the same so the loop is good but It make that my character stay a little in the position...I'm not sure if you see what I mean but I can see that you don't have this problem so maybe you resolved it ?

[@plotylty]

Remove the last frame, it should pop you back to the first one

[@lilian1812]

@@plotylty I don't think it does...here it was just bc my last keyframe was not on the exact end of the time-line so there was a little blank at the end

[@MasDouc]

You need to make the last frame close to the first frame, if both frames are identical it'll basically play the last frame twice. Like the last frame should have the feet close to the position of the first frame so that when it loops it'll look seamless.

[@lilian1812]

@@MasDouc I resolved it mounths ago but Tha k you for responding 😁

[@Nalpha]

Thanks man, works like a charm! ;)

[@callistomoon461]

Great work!

[@amitsemiyonichev5249]

How match time it takes to learn everything???

[@Smiiileyyy1]

Can you make an easy tutorial for making an animation on a character without arms and legs but only hand,chest, head and feet like Rayman?

[@TonyV89]

I believe you can make each limb invisible in the tweak menu, I've wanted to make Rayman to test this theory.

[@MasDouc]

Yeah just scope into the puppet and make the limbs set to invisible. Easy peasy.

[@anasbakhit4303]

whether you make the said parts Invisible which is the safer way, or use any shape then Scoop into the said part and made the shape you're using to Subtract to cut or delete the said part of your puppet.

[@stephenmason5827]

Wish you would slow down abit, hard to keep up when you have no clue!

[@danieldicaprio1562]

That is way too fucking complicated, I can't believe witing for an idle animation is that complex.

[@33akachi10]

This is stupid. The format is great but its moving way too fast. I barely make out what menus they are opening.

[@MasDouc]

You should probably familiarize yourself with the tools first.

[@Mohammad_omran]

When u talk better than only writing.. I lost in writing

[@bonster101]

Bored with dreams already? havnt seen anything new from u
