Key Frame Animation of Low Poly Character in Blender 2.9x

[@nogamerlikethis1]

The fact I spend months trying to understand CG geeks videos when this was here the whole time, thank you kind sir thank you greatly 🤝

[@sgttoxiiczz]

Yeah, I found CG Geek's videos hard to follow and lacked explaination. Imphenzia's content is a lot better to follow and learn from.

[@RCYT_]

@@sgttoxiiczz YES! CORRECT!

[@Izz4cc]

@@sgttoxiiczz yes, i love CG Geek but hes bad at teaching he didnt tell why to do things like make the inverse kinematics and those bone controllers he just told to do it which made things harder

[@sgttoxiiczz]

@@Izz4cc, CG Geek seems to be more of a content creator than a tutor. The 10 minute rigging tutorial that he did was really difficult to follow, and I ended up with a rig that didn't work. I found the Imphenzia rigging tutorial really helpful. When I make a mistake, I can quickly fix it without rewatching the tutorial because he did a great job at explaining.

[@matazzer]

@@sgttoxiiczz yep cg geek is trying too hard to be a hype youtuber these days and it's weird and forced. i cant even stand him anymore

[@Roqueta22]

Imphenzia, thank you so much for these videos. Wasted 136k on a Bachelors of Science for media arts and animation and I've learned more from you then I did from the Maya elite teachers. Thank you sir.

[@kiba1704]

Hey Imphenzia! I know you have tutorials that show how to different aspects of game making, but it would be really helpful to go on with this exact model. Put him in Unity, show people how to make: 1. Idle 2. Walking 3. Running etc. with textures, controls etc. A complete workflow tutorial like this would go nuts, I promise! Cheers mate!

[@Vanalleswa]

after 2 years, this is the first video that explains exactly what i was looking for. great job and many thanks!

[@neverpure20]

14:25 You don't have to box select all the keyframes on that frame. Just selecting the keyframe in the red summary row at the top, selects everything below it automatically.

[@BL0NSKY]

That's a nice one, thanks for the entire series. low poly rlz!

[@__Rizzler__]

Man how do u know I needed it in right time jeesus Christ he is marvellous

[@__Rizzler__]

I was working for game jam I didn't know how to animate, that right time imphenzia uploaded, he showed his true colors

[@DeepFriedOreoOffline]

Man, these tutorials are a life saver! I learned how to do all of this in Maya, but had stopped doing 3D work for years cause I couldn't afford my own license. Picked up Blender recently, and it's actually crazy how easy this is now will all the community addons!

[@TacticalPascale]

Another fantastic tutorial!

I am amazed. In less than 2 hours (with stopping) I made my own low poly character with armature and animations. Thank you.

[@Wolf-kx1pv]

I didn't think I would ever grasp this stuff enough to make a humanoid mesh, rig it and have it walk/run. Your tutorials are seriously the best out there, especially for a compete beginner like myself. thank you!!!

[@spicyfoxx-hz6pl]

You are one of the people that make the world go round

[@chewchewgumm4193]

[@ismaelomaribanez]

Greatest teacher ever. Thanks for existing.

[@wesdl8593]

Just in case anyone is confused at 3:00 when he clicks on that lower bar that normally is not there for auto keying, that bar is a horizontal screen split and set to timeline. It’s just dragged to the bottom of the screen.

[@eagleman8882]

Where do you find it to drag it to the bottom?

[@CozmiGames]

This was SO frustrating for me. I originally had the bar at the bottom with the playback controls (buttons for recording, skip forward, etc) but in messing around it disappeared. Then I could ONLY find that playback controls bar again by changing the "editor type dropdown" to "timeline" but then the "action editor" was gone. I spent a huge amount of time on Google, KZbin and just messing with things and could never get that playback bar on the bottom again in the Action Editor like in the video. However using the comment by @wesdl8593 above, I changed to the timeline, made it a split screen, moved down to the bottom, switched back to Action Editor and NOW I finally have the playback controls on a bottom "bar" so to speak. But its actually a timeline window just squeezed down to the bottom. I can't believe nobody else in the whole world seems to have this issue. Ok 2 hours later and now I can resume with the tutorial video. What a nightmare!!

[@jered13]

The orange frame boxes to help direct where to click are a massive help for me.

[@JMcLarren]

Me before watching this video - Rigging is hard Me after watching this video - Rigging is easier and way more fun. As someone who wants to get into game dev and/or animation, your videos are incredible. I like to put your 10 minute videos on and try to absorb as much as possible, which generally leads to me watching them for about an hour each. One day I will be able to model and rig a character myself within 10.....hours.

[@matthewsuhanec73]

I want to thank you - your tutorials are marvelous - for me its the right pace to learn and you understand that repetitive makes it stick.

[@adamkonig3753]

As a game dev, these videos are super super helpful and easy to follow and have given me a lot of tips to improve my blender flow. Thanks!

[@geniuspancake8274]

Thank you, you made my life so much simpler. I do mainly gameplay programming but I wanted to add some "life" into my game. I suck at animations and texturing and you made it so simple for me. So thank you very, very much for this video. The simplistic/cartoony look is enough for me, I was really getting tired of looking at boxes only.

[@aleksandersanya1817]

Very cool series, I basically learned to create a character and animate it in three days after two years of slowly trying to understand all this.

[@GavinPlesko]

You can also click the summary button at the top of a frame to select all keys :D

[@akashin6385]

Very clear and easy to follow. Well done.

[@Josabooba]

Great stuff again - one thing I'd like to have known about which wasn't eluded to was the differing animation frame lengths across the different pose animations. For example the Idle was 40 and the run was 22 - but there didn't seem to be a specific set count for each... so if i went back and viewed the Idle, it was still set to the 22 (run) frame count length.

[@FebiMaster]

I think you can do run animation much faster if you animate it pose to pose, as in put main keyframes in intervals, then work your way down from there, it's also much cleaner and you have a point of reference for inbetween the animations

[@Imphenzia]

Hi, I've preferred to do them with the 4 key poses to get the "proper" motion between the keyframes - do you have a video in mind that shows the alternative approach?

[@Chocoronat]

loved it

[@whatthevrar]

thank you for these videos, We have recently started using Blender and created same series as yours on our channel as way to learn. Have also given credit to your videos.

[@yuseiwong6398]

Thank you so much

[@dreamburn1]

Thanks, this is good... but I've seen you do this before. I CHALLENGE YOU! I am not a Unity developer, but I watch your tutorials to learn Blender. What is missing for me is how to use the Actions I've created in the Action Editor to make a small animation. For example, how do you take an idle action, and a walk action, and a run action, and create an animation where the (police) character stands, then walks down the street around a street corner, then runs after another character (like a bad guy).

[@juliaalder2007]

I think you have to do this in Unity in the Animator.

[@dreamburn1]

@@juliaalder2007 No, you just use Blenders NLA (Non-linear-animation) Editor, but there are NO good tutorials on how to do it. This one shows how it's done, but it goes too fast and is a complete blur: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5fHppmels5-qqs

[@juliaalder2007]

Oh, I didn't knew this.

[@dreamburn1]

@@juliaalder2007 Blender is truly an amazing one-stop place for creating complete animated or special-effect rich movies. I know Imphenzia is a game designer, but he also puts out very clear modeling, rigging, and animation tutorials for Blender-and the one thing missing is taking the good info one more step and putting the animation actions together to create a little complete clip. All the assets he has created are perfect for creating a little street-corner scene with low poly animated characters interacting, and I challenge him to bring it all together in Blender and finally give us people trying to learn Blender a good easy-to-follow tutorial that would allow us to make a simple short film.

[@juliaalder2007]

Yes, he's amazing. And I hope for a Unity export tut. Perhaps he will do both. 😊✊✊✊

[@nincompoop17]

Thank you so much Stefan! Got me up and running in no time! (pun intended)

[@christians6164]

I love this series. I've come a long way due to this tutorial, but something I'm having a lot of trouble with is dealing with animations with other objects. For example, I have a character who has some tools but they only appear for some animations and not others. Dealing with that in the action editor / NLA panel has been really messy probably because I'm doing it wrong. Would love to see some content on that!

[@hemrimal1917]
