Actually beyond happy I found your channel. You literally take the stress off of creating in blender by “dumbing it down” in a sense. 😭plus u don’t leave anything out, you tell us every possible way to access something instead of just using the hotkeys

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you enjoy my videos! Thanks for watching.

[@NIGHT-CITADEL]

@@RyanKingArt Can I mount my gun model on the camera in this mode to simulate it like a first person shooter?

[@Sierranut]

Thanks for sharing this, been using blender for a year but never realised this functionality existed! Blender is a powerful software but oftentimes too many features are hidden and we need creators like you to show us all the good stuff!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks!

[@KevinStoffel]

Thanks so much for the tip - it was exactly what I was looking for. For anyone who wants the TL:DR: "To activate first person camera, press shift-tilde. Then use WASD to move around, and Q/E to move up and down. Mouse scroll will adjust movement speed. Hold shift to move faster. And right-click will return to normal camera."

[@lukefortune8314]

and tab for gravity. :)

[@zakalr]

Thanks for the complete tutorial not a 1 minute fast nonsense like other channels

[@RyanKingArt]

You're welcome!

[@sajidshahnawaz8127]

I could make this using this tutorial and tell game devs "you know, I'm something of a game dev myself" :D thanks for this tutorial Ryan, great stuff!

[@RyanKingArt]

lol thanks!

[@GbHandlebar]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve used Blender for years, but somehow never knew this was even possible (well, aside from the old game engine, I suppose). For the work I’ve been doing recently, this is going to be invaluable. I’m just confused about why/how I missed it.

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people don't know about this feature, but its really cool! Thanks for watching!

[@SpringBonnie3D]

Thanks! Now I can animate the camera more efficiently

[@OrikusMMZ]

This is such a simple but at same time such an enjoyable feature))

Your videos are awesome because beginners can watch, understand and learn new things... Thanks for all your videos💚

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah seems like a lot of people didn't. Guess its a good thing I made a video on it. 🙂 Thanks for watching!

Incredibly helpful! Thank you!

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@philipmcdonnell7168]

Thanks Ryan. I knew the walk/fly navigation was in there somewhere. It was the word 'navigation' that didn't occur to me. 😬 I'll try them both out later. Thanks, again.👍

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching! 😀

[@secondwind6094]

your tutorials are so cool, but can you help please with the creation electric cable on wooden coil or spool, thx!

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for the tutorial request

[@SubhrajyotiAcharyyaDSB]

amazing lol. i was JUST thinking about how to learn to use this today

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for watching!

[@justforfunflowers8001]

Thank you so much. You might want to throw in that If you have animated anything then this view would give you an interesting perspective on it.

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks

[@concept...]

Ohh, that's very useful. But there is one point where I am facing an issue. When we press Shift+Tilda and then Tab to activate walk navigation through our model then the camera has a fixed height i.e., 2.43 m and which is not an average height. So in this mode how we can change camera height? Thanks

[@jaredfromspace]

I'm trying to figure this out too. Did you find a solution?

[@capalmer2495]

You're doing great stuff.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you!

[@gingerdog8203]

Did you try separating the objects with the linked selection tool? Going in edit mode, clicking one of the vertices and holding ctrl + L to only select the ones actually attached by edges (or hovering over one of the parts and pressing L). If needbe, you can also limit the selection areas by going to the bottom left corner when you click Ctrl + L and selecting “limit by uv” or any of the other options. Hope this helps!

[@ZaneAlexanderNC]

Hi Ryan, thank you for this video. I just started Blender this week and I hope this isn't a dumb question but: what steps would I take to make it possible to "walk" on a spherical object without being pulled down the Z Axis? So far I've tried making an object magnetic, but idk how to go any further than this.

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, you could set the 3d cursor to the center of the sphere, and then set the transform pivot point to the 3d cursor. then you could rotate the camera and that should make it rotate around the sphere.

[@Aye_Sid]

Wow!! Thanks Ryan I didn't knew abt this feature. 😀👍

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah I don't think very many people know about it. But its super cool for walking around and exploring your 3d scenes!

[@KatlinSchirmer]

Cool!Thanks dear.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thank you for watching!

[@mertkadir8925]

Thanks for the info and how hard is this feature on PC

[@mertkadir8925]

"forcing"

[@RyanKingArt]

I don't think its very hard on your computer.

[@TheLyricsGuy]

Thanks for the video. Super helpful.

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Edvinasarmanis]

how would i make a realistic look when recording using the walk feature? would adding some noise to the camera work? could you make a tutorial maybe?

[@RyanKingArt]

I have a video on how to get a hand held camera shake effect: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmGxqGaao6uAhc0

[@RyanKingArt]

You're welcome!

[@julp.1167]

Is there a way to limit the camera to a landscape, when i use gravity activated, for my walk around navigation, because when the camera comes outside, it fall, because of gravity

[@pranavk2888]

A small question when you press (G) the camera uses gravity but I want to change the height of the person so that when I press (G) I can see in a different height. so how do I do this?

[@RyanKingArt]

in Blender's user preferences under Navigation, Walk and Fly, you can change the size of the person walking.

Thanks to blender now i learned that there is always a button on my keyboard i never used before whole my life

[@RyanKingArt]

Haha cool 😄

[@DaellusKnights]

5:50 - immediately I had only one question, and you answered it. 😁 I've only recently started working with auto-keyframing, so there's still a fair amount to learn about the ins and outs of it. I do have another tangentially related question, however, concerning the keyframes: once you're finished navigating and keying the camera's motion, can you convert that movement into an editable path? 😳

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, I bet there is a way to do that, but I don't know how.

[@Ahmed_1989]

thank you very much bro
