What I love about this video is that its almost spet by step. Instead of a time-lapse like most people do. Or a 6hr video of them animating with no commentary. The way you teach its so simple to follow, not diving to much into the technicals, but anough to at least animate something of hight quality. Even an almost begginer could follow this, knowing the basic navigation of blender.

Hey Sohail! Sounds like maybe your arms are in IK. Let me know if that's not it. IK/FK video, if you need an explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWLMp2Oal9mAgJY Go into pose mode. Select the star control above the head. In the properties on the right side "N." Go to View, then Properties, Arm-IK-FK.L and .R should be set to a value of 0. Then you will be forking in FK, like I did for the video. It's also best to open your character file and work like that. If you append the character rig you'll also need to append something else, which I am forgetting what that is. ibb.co/KVTYt5t Hope that helps! Let me know if it's a different problem.

What is the nature of the soul, and how does it enable us to overcome fear of evil and death? The questions arise when Caine confronts a vengeful cattle baron who keeps rattle snakes in a pit in a psychological bid for power. “.

@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the note! If your animating your feet and COG away from your root/move all control then the only way that I know how to get it back under the root is to zero out the controls. I'm guessing your hoping to keep your animation and get the root control under him. You can also move the pivot of the root control to be under the character. As your animating it is a question you need to ask yourself. Do I use the root to move the character through space or not. The reason I did not is because if you animate your character through space with your root and your character is walking your going to get foot slipping on the ground. Hope that helps!

Hi there . in beginning you set a keyframe over the shoulder of character (shot 1) . then you moved camera in front of him and then set another keyframe (shot 2) . when you played the video we saw a cut from shot 1 to shot 2 . then in shot 1 you made some camera movements but workflow was just same as what you did in previous step (set keyframes that made cut between shots) and result was quite different. there was no cut between keyframes and camera had a nice cinematic movement. what is difference between keyframes in beginning that made cut and keyframes that made camera movements?
@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Hey! Often times when making quick stories I will create multiple shots in one file. You do that by changing your camera framing over 1 frame. In that first shot once I had my framing. I went back to the start of the shot and adjusted my camera a little. Made the curves linear. That small change from the start of the shot to the end of the shot gave us the camera move. Hope that helped!

Like the character with the floor or in a car like how do you add these constriants i guess its called to not let the character seep through stuff
@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Good question! A bit of crashing is okay. I think it even improves the shadow and the look of the contact. If your having a character in a car yes I would constrain the character to that car. But after that you just pose the character the way you want. It's up to the animator to not show crashing. The best way to make a character feel like they are in contact with their environment is to make the contact feel reel. The pose is the best way to sell good contact. Hope that helps!

Thanks for the note and question! Both ways of moving the character work. If you move the root you will have foot slipping issues. If you animate the COG and the feet everything is moving independently and can be controlled easier. When I am roughing out a scene or sequence using the root control is great because it's fast. For animating I stick to COG majority of the time. Hope that helps!

Hey Alex thanks for your efforts. I am following your your tutorial and I have a few questions for you. 1. In this tutorial while you are blocking the antic pose( i.e. before stretch pose), is the shoulder which is along the grounded foot should lead the body? 2. In the Run cycle, the torso rotates in the reverse manner as that of pelvis. So in jump animation, when we are ready to take off (i.e. stretch pose) is same as run pose. I feel that if left foot is leading in stretch pose then left shoulder tries to lead the upper body which is opposite to that of stretch pose in run cycle. I hope that I am able to convey my question to you. Thank you very much.
@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Hey, thanks for your note and questions! I think overall in a forward jump the movement of the body is driving forward and up. Generally both arms are swinging and helping the body complete the jump. Once you add a camera and pick a frame. You might want to favor one side of the body more the the other for clarity of silhouette. For your question. A jump can be completed both ways. With the foot and arm on the same side of the body leading the action and also with the arms and feet being opposites. Depends on the type of action leading into the jump. So a dunk in basketball would be different from a long jump. Your right about opposite movements in a walk. Knowing that twist is a great way to show power being stored can help in making a cool action shot. Another way to help sell energy being stored in the body is with C curves. Experimenting with both of those things in action is a way to exaggerate and make something cool. Hope that helps. Thanks again for the question!

@@jetex_beats8722 Really important topic for sure! One of the 12 principles of animation is Exaggeration. The point of this principle is to increase entertainment value through presenting anything (character design, facial pose, body pose, movement) as more extreme or dramatic than it really is. By doing so you help to set apart your character from others. The more extreme you go in one direction the more unique the personality of that character comes through. That character then becomes memorable. Hope that helps!

Hit 'N' on your keyboard and in the side options try to find something about your rig. You'll see options for displaying different controls. There should be a switch somewhere to change your feet from FK to IK. Usually rigs already come in IK. Maybe try loading your character file again. I have an IK/FK tutorial that might help explain what the difference between the 2 are. Hope this helps. Let me know if you still need help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWLMp2Oal9mAgJY

Hi Alex, I'd like to ask when animating an action scene where objects move from one place to another, is it OK if we only move all the body, head etc controls while leaving the master control (move all control) in one place, or should the master control move along as well? Btw, thanks for the tutorial! You explained it very clearly step by step, love your videos!
@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your question and comment! When blocking an action scene I often will use the Move All control as it's much faster to see if my idea is working. If the characters feet are contacting the ground and walking/running for part of the action, I would leave the Move All control and work with the Feet and COG control. By using the Move All control while your character is on their feet you create sliding feet. By leaving the Move All you do not get sliding feet. In short I do use it to block my scene. Whenever my character needs to have his feet on the ground I no longer use the Move all. Hope that helps!

@@alexonstory Thanks so much Alex for answering! I got your idea, so it's just like what you demonstrated in the straight ahead video, right? Actually I'm a lil bit confused about this, as my mentor once said that we should always use Move All control even for running/walking, and when we get sliding feet we can use Parent Constraint (create new controller and parent the feet to it) so the feet will stay in place, but every time I convert walk/run cycle into progressive walk/run in an action scene using Move All control and parent constraint, I often end up messing it up.. 😭Anyway, I'm going to give your idea a try, thanks a bunch!
@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
That seems like a lot of work. I use the Move all when I need to and don't when it adds more work to get to the final result. When your starting a new shot you can quickly test not only acting and action ideas but also aspects of your workflow. You can pick and chose aspects of workflow or even different controls depending on what kind of shot your working on. I don't think there is an always or never when it comes to art and the different ways we go about things. Happy to share my thoughts!

@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment! If your using a free rig from agora.community/assets or studio.blender.org/characters/ you shouldn't have any issues with them. Make sure your in Pose Mode and you should be ready to animate. If your creating your own character rigs things can get more complicated. There are some good rigging tutorials. Hope that helps!

@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
It's nice there are some many different ways to work with the camera and creating shots. In production each shot is it's own scene file. I like switching over 1 frame because I think it's the fastest and simplest way to see if your idea is working. I do like the marker thing. Need to play with it a bit.

Do you ever need to add key frames to the root? I always assumed it was used while animating, or is it just to place the character in it's starting location?
@alexonstory Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question Kevin! It comes down to preference. Both work. And for bigger action shots it's much faster to block the action with the move all. When we setup action in layout we'll use the move all cause it is fast. But for animation I would not use the move all except to place the character, like you said. If you use the move all control you need to be more aware of foot sliding and maybe some counter animation at times. Both work and it is important to try both and see what you prefer. Hope that helps!
