[@SirWade]

Which tool tips were your favorite? Did I miss anything YOU like to use? :) Share your tips here, and on Discord!! Remember, timecodes for each tip are in the description :)

[@TechFoodJourney]

Please Sir make a video on a tools previous version off Animbot Thanks

[@imSORy16]

I'm I the only one concerned that he actually starts his video at 2:30 AM and finishes around 4:40 AM ? This is pure dedication ! Thanks for the tips, really gonna help :)

[@3rdpoly]

I just wondered why he said 4hours, when the time its more like 2hrs. He did says filming for 4hrs, maybe he meant filming and editing :)

[@niloofarnavaei3752]

Thank you Sir! I'm very beginner in Maya and I was watching this video and then you said you don't recommend it to beginners... You're so honest and you do care about animators like me who just begin their journey. Thank you so much! 🌸

[@Crane-mj5el]

I very much agree with his advise. Its good to know how to work around scripts than being too dependent on them especially starting out.

[@OnihRz]

Nice! Great breakdown, Sir. Thank-you for your time!

[@Krentiles]

Thanks for awesome AnimBot Guide. One of my favorites tools in AnimBot are different types of motion trail and especially - Dashed / Spacing Temperature - Witch allows you to visually see spacing and that can be useful for some beginners.

[@emmanuelb1057]

Man, i don't even start to watch your video but THANK YOU ! I know the quality is there and i wait this video for so long ! it's going to make me get it for good ! Keep it up ! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!

[@KSNeo]

thank you for that HUGE presentation of the tool. This is so aweome when you don't have the tools of a company or any picker. Great job of being that clear on something so theoretical thanks again ;)

[@antonaleknavitsjus7877]

Thank you very much! I have never subscribed to any channels but after this video you are the first one. Brilliant job!

[@colossusjak2]

Just gonna say this is some really high quality stuff. Your channel literally makes maya better than any other 3d program. So concise and useful, which is the polar opposite of most KZbinrs today. Thank you

[@Soundar24x7]

Thanks for the Tutorial and Happy Birthday Sir Wade!! :D

[@learntobecomeananimator]

Thank you Sir Wade for taking time and creating such a long and very helpful video for us. Thanks

[@KalpeshPatel-rg7vy]

Thank yoy Sir Wade for taking taime and creating such a long and very helpful video for us. Thanks

[@duncanmaclaren9890]

At last! A comprehensive guide to animbot! Thanks Wade

[@pierceotoole3080]

Happy birthday! Loving these animation tool/guide focused series you have been creating and rig reviews!

[@lucas.silverio]

Very nice video, I really like the way that you have explained about each tool. And I am also very happy because this amazing collection of tools was created by a Brazilian, as I am.

[@PrashanSubasinghe]

Happy Birthday Sir Wade!!

[@AbhishekChandra]

Was so much looking forward for a good demo for Animbot and here it is! Thanks..

[@amarsekarwangi18]

Happy birthday Sir wade!! All the best wishes :D

[@scotthuster3531]

Happy Birthday, Sir Wade! I've been looking for a video that does a deep dive on animbot and this is perfect! Love all the content you put out and with the "shelter-in-place" happening in SF, definitely giving me more time to watch your content :)

[@kitsunegirl14]

The Animation Mentor program has a lot of professionals using this toolset. Than you so much! My favorite tool is the arc tracker. So useful! Goodbye glitch motion trials!

[@MasterYoda389]

I think it's ridiculous expensive just for the sake of saving a few clicks.

[@art-is-awen8842]

This was absolutely perfect! Succinct with great examples. Animbot should hire you to make their tutorials! Thank you so much for this explanation - just what I was looking for.

[@rickg7849]

Excellent walkthrough of some of the best of Anim Bot! Extremely well done tutorial!

[@popcornking]

Happy Birthday maya and blender star ⭐🎉 May God bless you forever 💞 Once again happy birthday sir wide

[@raghu_anim]

Thank you so much for this man! and wow, you went from 2.30 am to 4.30 am.

[@mAcroFaze]

I've just spent a good part of my Easter Sunday watching this so as to be as ahead of the curve (or as on top of things) as I can hopefully be before getting back to work on Tuesday! Thank you so much for all these brilliant tips, super-appreciative of everything you've just gone and taught me! Now to sift through all the notes I've just made... :P

[@ir167]

Happy Birthday! And thanks for the video. I've learned a lot!

[@julianocastro]

Awesome video! I use animbot a lot but there is a lot I didn't know, Thanks for sharing! ❤

[@oleit3]

Yes!!! Finally :D Thank you!

[@UglyHouseStudios]

1:24 I 100% agree. Im going to AnimSchool and my teacher keep trying to get me to use AnimBot but I refuse to use it while Im in school.

[@artandcraftwithbj9532]

Happy belated birthday brother 🎂🎊🎈

[@hollypartridge6091]

Thank you for this!

[@sarabibuesing4926]

Happy Birthday!!!!

[@febinkolambrath7671]

Many Many happy returns of the day. By your selfie friend

[@FancyFun3433]

So far... Things I really wanna try is the cheat constraint options (.ABC files don't like constraints even if I bake the animation for the object. I hope that it will fix it) Mirror option Extra key clean up (motion capture data idk if it will be a saint or horrible) Temp pivot really excites me

[@GENIUSGT]

6:57 YES. It's super annoying! I'll definitely check this out.

[@ashwathshetty1021]

Happy Birthday Bro....

[@mahmoudadileh4818]

Happy Birthday. any pro rigging and making controls scripts and tips for maya? (face and body both)

[@만수르-b9q]

Good tips! Thanks! And I have a question... Is this the pajama you are wearing? So cute!

[@eleniver]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! It is really helpful!!

[@pinklady7184]

Over a year after this video was uploaded, today is a day after my birthday.

[@randomamerican6320]

Bro if you could do a step by step character animation, those few hours of work will be able to help hundreds / thousands of people for 1 days work and the overall 3d community will be even larger, thanks for your hard work!

[@purpl_panda]

happy birthday

[@bricengorai363]

Happy Birthday!!! Thanks for going over the swiss army knife of maya. I think animbot will help you work faster but not better. There’s only 12 tools you should be using, wink wink. #9oldmen

[@jrolls8951]

This is amazing! Great reference to look at the tool before buying it! Did you buy the tool outright or do you have a subscription for the tool?

[@SirWade]

Subscription all the way for this one - there's enough great updates that it's actually worth the subscription!

[@Crane-mj5el]

Hi Sir Wade. Thanks for sharing this. I would like to ask what script do you use to amplify and DE amplify the tangents. Thank you Sir

[@mindrelaxingmusic9512]

HBD to you.

[@thomasmuslmani691]

Happy birthday man! What’s the name of the rig

[@ayesha9523]

Happy bday

[@MrReactric]

hi, thank you for video. but I have a problem. when I copy keys with animbot and paste keys, Animbot also pastes keys to the Joints. But the way joints are hidden. This causes a problem such as rotation joint. My character is loaded as a reference in maya. Do you know how to cancel to paste on joints. thanks

[@ayesha9523]

Yes I did it on purpose Happy bday

[@想你们-f9q]

Hello, I'm an animator from China. Will your plug-in update the Chinese version? Many animators in China are looking forward to your plug-in. Unfortunately, most of our English is not good and it is difficult to use. If we have Chinese, we will be very happy to buy it

[@gsmaga2]

Please keep doing some other videos about animbot

[@Mnemoniforma9.00]

How do you change the size of the Animbot workspace? I'm a bit tired of fumbling with dragging the ribbon around, so I was hoping to just change the size of it to two rows.

[@MrHarraga]

Happy Birthday, I was animating but I cant not watching your VID lol

[@jessierocket]

Hi, How do you make it so your whole maya viewport is blue please? Thank you :)

[@josedavidmoya344]

When I add the GMS, it was giving differend soft in spead of yours

[@fransnainggolan7980]

The arc doesnt work with viewport 2.0 or is there any update for it, sir

[@miroslavsestakov]

Hello, is there any way to set a hotkey on your "extra" mouse button? Thanks!

[@SirWade]

Good question! I think technically, the most stable way of doing that would be to open your mouse's software where you get to map the buttons, set it to some obscure button, or like F13 or something that doesn't normally exist on most keyboards, then in animBot or Maya set the function to that obscure key, so that the mouse can trigger the action.

[@miroslavsestakov]

@@SirWade Thank you for your reply sir! Yea that's a good way around, thank you! In my case I can't do that coz I'm working on Linux and the mouse software doesn't support it -.-. They should make it doable within the maya software =)

[@calebrobinson6406]

doesnt animbot have a smartkey option, dont have time to rewatch the 40 min video to see where you mention it :(

[@aleph-tav]

I don't see the nudge tool in the review - is that the retiming tool? Cheers Also which license is best for student finishing with AM school

[@SirWade]

Nudge is one of the things I didn't cover because I don't really use it, but yeah it shifts selected keys fwd and back in time to retime them :) I recommend the Pro license. You get the updates, new features, and bug fixes at the cost of two Starbucks drinks a month. If you really need to stretch your budget, there's the Eco version, but I'm not sure what features weren't made yet in the last bundled release.

[@TheMrBurn]

a lot of things u can find in blender already. why not in maya?

[@n.eahmed8832]

HI, sir wade first I want to tell you that you are a fabulous animator and I enjoy watching your tips and I relish it. My Doubt is I tried to install aimbot [latest version] but it told it is expired and I don't know the problem all thought am new in aimbot and I installed new so can you help me. Thank you

[@sarabibuesing4926]

I have the same issue. My only work around is to replug the key code in everytime I open maya and it says expired. Hopefully that helps.

[@n.eahmed8832]

@@sarabibuesing4926 I can't even find a serial key for free

[@gracev7855]

Does anybody happen to know exactly how to get the other sliders onto the toolbar? for example I want to slide around the noise wave, but I dont know how to get the slider on the bottom.

[@dav__71]

nice

[@balakrishna4992]

i am a student should i download and use thi?

[@piskore]

Could you guys pls fit the UI for 4K monitors :)

[@davjus_14]

temp rotation points in maya? woahhhhh

[@shadowmahesh9876]

yea so my maya crashed and when i started the app again the animbot recovery freezes maya and im stuck seeing the menu for animbot but nothing is clickable. pls help.

[@SirWade]

Clearing Maya prefs, then reinstalling animbot clean maybe and updating? I think they have support tickets too

[@shadowmahesh9876]

@@SirWade thanks, imma try it out. Your vids are really helpful!!!

[@simplastic]

I really find this helpful man thanks for putting this together! but I showed this at the office here in Seoul and nobody can understand you, you speak way too fast and so much slang. Maybe for native english people this is fine tho! keep it up!

[@SirWade]

Hmm, maybe I’ll need to look into getting international captions on my videos. If it helps, you can slow down the video with the settings cog!

[@creaturesuccess]

man i slowed the video down to 0.75m and you sound a lot cooler when you are drunk ;)

[@mt7353]

demoing a tool and then saying you dont actually know how to use it.. to 23,000 people. damn, its even in your intro clip. xform isnt rocket science and its probably left veiwers fustrated you just threw in the towl... Guys here are the steps for a demo. Animate the hand going a to b. at position A, select hand and then select object (that is in a position u want it with the hand.) hit copy xform go to position/KeyFrame B. paste relationship to all keys result is the object following the object over the A to B time frame. (auto tangent and euler filter if weird.) the other options are just baking really. know that your baking will be hard to change, you dont have to worry too much on euler though. you might be like " oh i want to change position b".. you can but turn on auto form relationship when you do. you'll know why i said that when you dont

[@merouanebenali4959]

sorry but you talk to fast I cant folow you my head work a lot
