Learn to Animate in Blockbench

[@Seventh_0rca]

I was falling asleep to default 20 min animation tutorials this is what i needed

[@DAJANITORRS]

see this is a tutorial that keeps my attention no fluff just pure information

[@charlesjolly9316]

Love it. Quick, to the point, and no unnecessary information.

[@fablewalls]

This is the best modelling App I've ever used and now I discover it can do animation? (And yeah - I've used 3D software since before 3D Studio became 3D Studio Max or even 3DS Max.) The barrier to entry is so low, there's no excuse not to have Blockbench in your arsenal.

[@LoveYourself-318]

I'm absolutely in love with this program! I found blender to be quite complex, which, isn't a bad thing and can unlock some amazing possibilities but for the purposes I had in mind block bench is perfect

[@Hawkon]

You can export Blockbench models to Blender if you want to play around with rendering without having to do all the modeling in Blender

Set playback speed on KZbin to 0.5 and you'll have time enough to follow the moves even as a beginner

[@kairoisplaying]

dude ur tutorial works i am new to block bench but ur vd made it easy for me to animate thank you

[@Lakthul]

I'm honestly surprised you only have almost 300 subscribers. Your videos and thumbnail art honestly seem like the same quality as KZbinrs like Kweebec Corner to me. Maybe it's just that you only have 5 videos, but even that doesn't make much sense to me. I hope the algorithm picks you up at some point.

[@1DatusXDatus]

But when i have the animation done, how do i pragram it to play the animation while e.g walking

[@ugandaknuckles7082]

please help me, i don't see the animation button

[@Hawkon]

That's because of the format. Java Block, Modded Entity and OptiFine Entity does not support animation. One way to add animations to Java is with GeckoLib. You can download a plugin for GeckoLib animations by going to File>Plugins.

[@fablewalls]

At the bottom of any KZbin Vid, you can change playback speed so that you can actually hear what is being said. I use that all the time with AskNK youtube videos.

[@AirborneWiz]

thank lord ur using luffy i am gonna concentrate like hell - me before watching

[@WickedDevMist]

It really help thanks 😉

[@Thatcutefam]

we just started using block bench for skin making,but this is really cool! what would be the use for this? making own cartoons? or is there ingame benefits? is this like a diy emote?

[@Hawkon]

Yes, you can record your animations, make mods, make bedrock addons. I personally make emotes for the Minecraft Marketplace.

[@notxavvi]

how do you add it to your Minecraft pack tho?

[@Hawkon]

Depends on your version

when i try to animate a part it just doesnt work i place the marker i change the rotation and nothing happens

[@TMPCS]

Bro please help me, I dont see button that switches type of animation, like linear, smooth and step

[@ZOUMBIEZ]

but how do i add bones???? how do i make them move

[@Hawkon]

You add bones by adding folders in the edit tab. You cannot edit the model in the animate tab. To see how to edit the model, I suggest watching my video on how to model.

[@_terzoo6658]

Can you add particles to player animations?

[@funtimejax6901]

I dont see the animation tab

[@congo__]

do you know how to change the animation from 24 fps to 30 fps?

[@flamesonashes]

I just got bored and thought "fuck it, I'm gonna make some player animations."

[@pallukun]

Would you say a root bone is useful? I place all of my bones in one parent bone that holds the entire model. I justify it as in case I want to apply an effect to whole model, like squashing during jumpsquat and landing, but I never see anyone else do this so I wonder if its pointless or straight up bad

[@nyxborne1786]

ArtsbyKev does it, and he's one of the most use tutorial animators as well, His root bone is named Spine 🤣

[@nyxborne1786]

ALSO if you noticed, Hawkon has a root bone as well, it's the "Pelvis" folder he has at the very top of his bone-order

[@pallukun]

@@nyxborne1786 gotcha thanks, ive never heard of artsbykev and i didnt notice the pelvis bone

[@nyxborne1786]

@@pallukun you're good! I do it too and i name it either Hip of Spine depending on my mood

[@Hawkon]

Root bones are useful if you have a more complex model. For simple ones it's not as important. I suggest you also nest your model from the pelvis, as it is the core of any creature model.

How can I animate textures Like change the color of something in a keyframe

[@Hawkon]

[@Hawkon]

Add folders, make sure the pivot points are where you want them

i cant seem to get my animation to work in minecraft can you help me.

[@___-w-___]

the left panel does not show up for me

[@kingofcringe6161]

It doesn’t let me click on the folders

[@Hawkon]

You have to add an animation before you can animate, watch the video from the beginning.

[@kingofcringe6161]

Like where you name the animation yea I already did it

[@mutedlion74]

I have a question, how do you add the animation into the game for a mob. Basically I created a mob with the entity wizard and then I animated it and I can't seem to get the animation to work in the game even though the .json file is in the animation folder. Ive looked at the behavior json and the other json under entity and noticed all the animatinos were labeled humanoid (i made this mob with the zombie base which had no animations which is why I think it was this way compared to some other mobs which started with animations) so I changed them and loaded up the world but there was still no change, in short how do you add custom animations or apply animatinos to the game files etc etc??

[@butakun8910]

yea same

[@Hawkon]

It's been a while since I've edited bedrock animations, but I would suggest looking up Minecraft Bedrock Animations Tutorial

[@Arthur-uo8ip]

Is this for player animation or just normal animation?

[@spuffee6750]

i cant find the animate button on the top right, what do i do

[@Ratman1812]

Why doesn't my Blockbench have the animate tool? Am I stupid and I just missed something?

[@tacbeast4841]

I cant find the button to change interpellation

[@Hawkon]

It should be in a drop-down box on the left when you have a bone selected

[@tacbeast4841]

It looks like the plug-in I’m using doesn’t use the regular interpellation settings and instead uses “Easing”. I gotten used to how it works and got it to work with my model

I have a question about the math animation. I was planning to shift the sine wave to the right but couldn't find a way to shift it. How do I shift the sine wave to the right?

[@Hawkon]

Just type it into the function as addition, so say you want to shift it over by 2, type +2 at the end.

[@MrBrineplays_]

@@Hawkon But the wave just shifts up, not to the left or right

[@Hawkon]

It sounds like you might have placed the cubes in the wrong folder

[@user-scpeditor]

but how do i create a group to create an animation in block bench (cause i am in mobile though)

[@Hawkon]

You have to create folders and put the cubes in there. I recommend checking out my tutorial on how to model.

[@Kr1nge._.2012]

How do I make a model tho

[@AloanMoreira1]

So Blockbench doesn´t have animation layers yet? Here is an example: layer 1- animate a 1 second loop of a flapping wing layer 2- animate a 10 second loop of the bird flying off (changing its position through space/air) result: the bird will loop fly for 10 seconds and the 1 second flapping loop will work throughout the entire 10 seconds! Save that to One (idle) animation!

[@IgnitionP]

It does

[@IgnitionP]

Hover to another animation file on the left then click on the little play button

[@DakotaPrideModding]

Do newer versions of blockbench not allow you to change the type of keyframe (linear, smooth, etc)? I'm using a Geckolib model, if that may be the problem.

[@goldenmajora3]

My only problem is i cant seem to multiselect while animating, twisting my models torso/body doesnt move the arms/shoulders with it and it looks so unnatural

[@Hawkon]

You need to nest the folders for the arms under the folder with the body.

[@squalycactus]

After installing gecko library, nothing happens. Why is this?

[@nyxborne1786]

You have to make your model as a "GeckoLib Animated Model". I made this mistake as well

[@santiagobeitia4473]

I will love to follow this but "You cannot animate this type of element". Why there is no explanation on that? :(

When you rotate a bone (folder), everything in the folder will rotate. If you want to animate a single object, make sure it has its own folder.
