How to Make Perfect Loops (in Maya)

[@3dcoach937]

I hope the final part of this "Maya Animation For Beginners" series can help you out. Previous videos are linked in the description. Let me know if you have any questions!

Man thanks this is super helpful even though I use blender, also your spline video is one of the best on youtube, you should have more subs man, thanks for all you do.

[@3dcoach937]

Thanks dude, I really appreciate the kind words. Learning the graph editor changed the game for me, and you're 100% right that it's just as applicable to Blender as it is to Maya.

Really helpful, thank you so much!

I'm glad I could help, thanks for watching!

insane how this video is so well put together , but yet , somehow , my loop isn't perfect .done everything you did . doesn't help . no idea why 🤣

[@3dcoach937]

If your first frame and last frame are the same and the curves for both of them are "auto" it should be looping well. Sometimes my curves in the graph editor get a little whacky because I manually adjust them and my loop stutters. You could test it by putting all your curves into 'auto'. If the loop works (even if your main animation is worse) then it's an issue with the curves, so just Ctrl+Z and adjust the curves :)

Awesome! I didn't even know that smoothing the loops like that was something to consider when animating in 3d. ( Showing the before and after the adjustments would be nice in the future since the changes are so subtle) Btw big improvement on thumbnail/ title for this series!

[@3dcoach937]

Super important, especially in gaming when you're more likely to see the cycle all on its own. I agree with the before/after, I need to be more diligent with that. I truly appreciate the reminder, thank you! Haha, I went back and adjusted the last one as well per your recommendation. It helps a lot, thank you again :)

Woah, I thought that you were a lot bigger than you are based on your production quality! I haven't watched any of your recent stuff (coming to this off of a video on smoothing splines), but seeing only 6 comments is quite startling to me. These are useful tutorials! Have a like and subscribe from me. (^v^)b

[@3dcoach937]

Thank you so much! For animation you want a demo reel demonstrating solid animation principles. Have shots of things like someone lifting a heavy object, a parkour shot, 2 characters acting/interacting with each other, a lip sync shot, a jump, etc. Best of luck to you!
