How to make FPS Animations in Blender 2.8+

[@FinalMiro]

Watching this after 5 months of learning blender basics is much more easier than when I just started without any knowledge about blender.

[@huiAPPOAJ]

could have learned Maya instead and get an actual job

Hello there aleks

[@deepalperera4592]

:o aleks learning to animate?

[@Displant]

i can teach u how to animate bro

[@sojistar6515]

Yo what are you doing here?

[@incatm0]

Yo a cool video idea might be to try doing one of your reloads but making it in blender. Really cool videos you make!

[@explosivebullet]

Despite knowing how to use blender, I watched anyway and you are right, I am learning more and more by the minute that will make everything in my blender animations look better.

[@RyloYoung]

Finding Explosive Bullet in a Blender tutorial video is just far too expected and hilarious. I see you are still improving there.

[@explosivebullet]

@@RyloYoung My next animation is actually looking really good, but I think I gotta retire my old ways. This stuff is a little hard to figure out.

[@HazTecFlame]

Lol I love the single frame that says ‘not /hqr’

[@goku_dunker_420]

is /hqr bad? Idk much about this community yet

[@HazTecFlame]

@@goku_dunker_420 /hqr is definitely bad if you want feedback, it’s filled with inexperienced people posting their barely 1st or 2nd view model animations. If you want good feedback on your stuff from reddit go to /1stpersonanimations, but either way it’s not ideal to get feedback from reddit.

[@cornboy7424]

@@HazTecFlame tried posting to hqr, it's just people saying the animation is great and barely anybody trying to critique, and even when, it's usually something abt the realism of the gun. Plus, it's kinda weird bc by posting on hqr you're essentially calling your poop tier first animation "high quality"

[@HybridMiranda]

I'm the 3D lead for a small PA game studio, and the artist on a large FPS project built all his rigs in Blender- which means I have to animate in Blender instead of MayaLT, since the rig itself won't translate over. This tutorial was VERY well made, and it also shows me where the UI is and how to create different animation instances/actions. This answered something like 70% of the questions I had going into this project- thank you so much! Very concise and easy to follow.

[@satoru556]

Hey man, just wanted to come by and say thank you for everything c: This tutorial opened a path for me that I'll never turn back on

[@Aaronitouse]

I'm two minutes in and can already tell this is an incredible tutorial, perfect amount of brevity, information and resources. A+++!

[@cartonks.2492]

just completely blown away by the animation , really motivated ( thnx for that) and its really good to see u making the top notch FPS animation on your own , which can be easily compared to new games like COD MW and BF.

Man blender can do everything, I love this program.

[@projectilesausage5642]

Thanks for letting me know I needed to dl blender, really helped me realise that in order to make something in blender id need blender

[@waffel7664]

Dude, thank you your way of making bones for the gun is sooooooooooooooooooo much easier and faster than the way I did it before like, turning it from an hour to 10 minutes

[@cyphersam9436]

This is a lot more well made than other tutorials. Most just hit the record button and don't really explain what certain instructions are even doing or meant for, they just roll with it and they're tougher to follow. Hopefully I'll be able to become proficient and create the animations I always thought about

[@mygamingimagination8173]

Currently making a game and you just helped me avoid alot of research. Thank you. Great work fitting all of that in one video. And all of it being under 14 minutes

I've gotta say, I'm so grateful for your tutorial. This has been the easiest and least complicated one I've had to follow, and I've almost made an animation thanks to you! And thanks for all the useful links, without them, I probably wouldn't have been even able to do a reload animation in under a year! You go bud!

[@vek0re]

Mate, You just earned another subscriber. Thanks for making this video. The last good video I found for this type is Hyper's +4 years old tutorial.

[@ChrisD__]

11:30 You can key the visual location instead of the actual location to make constraints "act normally".

2:14 just click a and then deselect the camera and light, thats all. 4:21 just enable the node wrangler addon in preferences and , while the principled bsdf is selected, click ctrl+shift+T , and select the textures and it will automatically make the texture setup for you.

[@xXblazmodzXx]

Absolutely outstanding, modernized tutorial. Amazing work!

[@GamingWolfDude]

I only just got to this, and I'm not really focused on it right now, but I think it'd be a good way for me to practice hand animation, so I've saved it to my private animation tutorials playlist to come back to later. I wasn't expecting the tutorial to be this high quality, so I can just about guarantee I'll come back to it eventually.

[@XPrismatic]

good stuff bro this video helped me out a lot, much appreciation

[@goku_dunker_420]

A good way to make sure the mag is exactly where it was before turning off the constraint is to put press shift S and choose "Cursor to Selection", then doing "Selection to Cursor" after turning off the constraint, then copying the rotation of the parent bone for the whole gun so the mag is the perfect orientation

[@fideldog1]

for the bone resizing stuff, its ctrl+ALT+s. not ctrl+shift+s. thats what its like for me, might be different for others.

[@nh9136]

very useful thankyou

[@DatMysticalPyro]

Oh my god, thank you. Embarrassing to say, but I was stuck on that part for about 2 hours. lol

[@MiirVFX]

[@Nazemity]

fucking thank you.

[@officerjohns9554]

look at the guy's key presses on the bottom left corner, it'll tell u what his pressing

[@Jan_Spalding]

Very well made video. A lot of effort went into detail and was a good watch. Thanks 👍👍

[@LowResDev]

Hey anyone that is interested! I found a good solution to the issue where you have to "Try to get the bone back to it's position best you can"! Simply set the constraint weight to 1 and on the next frame instead of keying the logrotscale you should key it as "visual logrotscale" on the same menu. Then change the influence to 0. Works perfectly for me!

[@feather_lilly]

Really nice tutorial, though either using the default layout or explaining how you set yours up would be helpful

Polybagel sent me here, But Holy shit!! How the hell do you covered all this in one tutorials. Great Content. how can i animate the camera shake? everytime i try to animate the camera it looks like im just moving the gun forward and backwards.

[@ThriftyDonut]

thanks, for camera shake if you're just moving the camera in object mode that could definitely cause some issues. you should be using some sort of bone constraint system. thermite's rigs in my repository use a system similar to hyper's css rig, not sure how it's set up off the top of my head though sorry

[@kloa4219]

camera shake looks nicer, but most gamers hate camera animation like headbobbing since they think it causes motion sickness

[@jaimedelasmontanas]

usually camera shake is done within the code of the game, its better that way since you can tweak how much shakiness you want in each gun.

[@FebiMaster]

@@jaimedelasmontanas Yeah this is better, since if we’re doing it through code, we can disable the headbobbing/camera shake completely using settings menu in game, and it offer greater flexibility later on
