I miss Brackeys, he explains things so well and doesn't make me feel dumb

[@astropunekar]

Don’t worry u will release a good game

[@victorzhang6859]

how come everybody thinks the same???

[@mohr0023]

After successfully creating a really small game with a team of noob friends (it was everyone's first time doing everything, just some tutorials watched beforehand), I can tell that Shia's advice actually works here: Just do it! Get a stupid small project, give yourself a ridiculously small deadline (let's say a week) and plan it so that you can do it in that time. It might look ugly, it might feel incomplete, but it is done and it is yours. Trust me, it's achievable and super rewarding. As I said, it's weird and rather incomplete, but hey, we did it (in 2 tiresome days): matheus-mohr.itch.io/ger

love the devlog series!

He has enough viewers that some will get it when they need it.But yeah he’s always there for us

[@lemetamax]

I'm really grateful for you reading my mind Brackeys!! I just learned this yesterday, and implemented it today, now you are teaching it!!

[@apainush9540]

i LOVE IT!!! I was searching this for months! But nobody really did this:/ Thanks for the great tutorials not just in this video, in all of them! You helped me a LOT!

[@perero]

He looks so happy and I can't help myself starting to smile just like him

[@bones99999]

Dito. I was looking at rigging and Avatars for my Antilatency unit. There were no good tutorials and Brackey comes through with the goods as always. You're the man!

[@CosmicComputer]

I was just looking for this EXACTLY

[@joshuachan6317]

This always happened to me...

We all are 😂

[@irtezamasud1079]

This guy has a perk named best at explaining and needling that inside brain.

Even in 2021 this tutorial is crystal clear about what can be done with Animation rigging. Miss you Brackeys. :)

[@jozimastar95]

yeah

Whenever I try to learn Unity Animation my brain goes *duh* Edit : 2 months later, I can smoothly make any animation, do quick transitions, set bool, everything! I cant believe I did it!

[@jsonmac319]

Feel you bro, same here.

[@cricticalthinking4098]

Well this isn't much of a tutorial, more like a "here are the possibilities" kind of video. I would recommend looking for a video more centered around teaching for learning purposes, or leisurely take work your way through the documentation.

[@Robertganca]

Finally! I’ve been waiting for such a tutorial forever.

[@mehmedcavas3069]

i just searched for this topic 2 h ago and couldn't find a good tutorial. and now u made one :O

[@cryo___]

Great Job on this video Brackeys! You always make the right videos when the right people need them!

[@MatthewLT420]

I have been waiting for this for soo long from him just because I find it easyer to learn from a brackeys tutorial from others

[@qweasdy-pc6ql]

Watched a couple of animation rigging videos. Finally, Brackeys still one of the best and explained everything so well. Thx!

[@vinyeaglevr6833]

Thank you! I’m working with my FPS project and was trying to make a way for the camera view to have the arms follow with a full character model. This saves a ton of time, thank you sooo much!

[@KenIbrahim]

Great tutorial and funny too! Loved the "I'm here!" hand raising for skeletal roll call. You would have been great as a fellow demo artist back in the day at Alias|Wavefront. :)

[@RogerTheil]

Thanks for using this knight asset! It's always my go-to for animation testing.

[@timschuchner]

its no longer available what are you using now?

[@universum60]

That is what i was exactly looking for! Thank you for this explanation.

[@zacharywalker-liang7319]

If you're having issues with the top of the head pointing towards the object, check "Aim Axis" under Multi-Aim Constraint. This Aim Axis is the local "forward" of the constrained object. So click on the constrained object, look at its local axis's, and then choose the Aim Axis as the one that is forward.

[@erenozklnc9427]

thanks!

[@FarmBoyTech]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. I really appreciate your effort and time that you put into this work. Stay blessed all the time.

[@StealthBeast.3xx0]

That's Exactly what I'm looking for!!! thank you so much BRACKEYS ♥️♥️♥️

Great, thanks to this I will can bin all those codes I had writen to manage these kind of things. This new system looks more flexible than what i had. Thank you for the video, it was nice, enjoyable and direct to the core.

[@Dorbellprod]

Brackeys thank you for providing this video 10 minutes before I start a project

[@autumnbroken596]

Holy crap I've been looking for a tutorial on this for soooo long. Thank you so much!

Amazing, simple, short and informative like always

Okay this isn't funny anymore I googled an animation rig three hours ago

Dude, I was actually wondering of rigging and I saw this video appeared 11 min after it uploaded, God have guided me, no Jesus have found me.

This video popped up when I needed it the most. Hope you are enjoying your retirement!

Thank you so much Brackeys! This is just what I needed!!

[@a7b641]

When ur doin a game jam and time is precious but there is a new brackeys video u know I'm going to watch it

[@StevenBloomfield]

Thanks. Three years later this is still a great intro.

[@johngibbon9784]

Brilliant! Just what I needed for my new game. Also inspired me to bite the bullet and take a wild leap into version 2020.

[@sagorhossen7047]

Finally ! U made a video about animation rigging.awesome

[@Rioni]

It's awesome when you upload a video about a topic I'm searching out

[@JoseORosario]

Really good stuff! thanks for making this

[@adnibhaal]

I didn’t even search for this, but this is all I needed

[@Spxzzrr]

Brackey should collab with dani, they would make insane games!!

[@alphaden_club]

Still one of the best videos for Animation Rigging.

[@peteheery]

So last night I literally started from scratch looking at Blender and rigging Tuts... then Brackeys does this. The guy has telepathy I swear.

[@MusashiHunter3]

Excellent video as usual, Brackeys. You are missed!

[@zehsofficial]

This is just what I was looking for and at the right time. I'm trying to get my characters hand to rotate on the x axis with the cameras rotation

[@romelcasillas2286]

I just got started with Unity and C#. Its not easy. Game Development is way harder than Web Development. So far I am enjoying it, but I need to commit all the basics to memory. This is in the far distance but its fun watching these videos. Looks like learning Blender and Linear Algebra to be a necessity. Can't wait. Thanks for the video.

[@XuryGreer]

Wow very cool, thanks for showing this off!

[@dutchyplays7793]

Yes! Thank you so so so much for this! I have been having so much trouble with animations to a point that I quit projects and start a new one. I have so many unfinished animations because I just dislike the result. Now I can do it correct. Ya tha best!

[@Martyblog1]

I would see more videos from you about the new early access features in unity, you really the best who can explain everything:)

[@sashamakeev7547]

OMG thats so amazing. Unity thank you so much!

Wonderful video as always. I'd love a tutorial on character animation and blend trees! It's very tricky setting up a character with walk, run, jump etc.

Unity 3D is my favorite Engine, there are two things I wish I had in it; 1st - The correct way to orbit in the viewport is to just press the (mouse scroll), in SketchUp, this function already comes by default and in 3ds Max, you have to configure it, so it is much more practical to just press the mouse scroll to if orbiting, this is the way it is in several other software, unfortunately in Unity 3D ñ this is the way you have to press (Alt + left mouse button), you have to occupy both hands and this creates a certain discomfort, In other words, you do two jobs and you could only do one, so you want to do two jobs and you can only do one, not to mention that it will take more work and less productivity, this seems to be an insignificant thing ñ it is what it seems because this is one of the functions in which it will be most performed. 2nd - The correct way to zoom in on a certain part of the object, just position the (mouse arrow on a specific point on the object where you want to zoom in) and scroll it (mouse scroll forward), this is how q is in SketchUp and 3ds Max, so it’s much more practical to just position the (mouse arrow on a specific point on the object you want to zoom in) and scroll it (mouse scroll forward), this is how it is in several other software, unfortunately in Unity 3D ñ this is the way to do it you have to press (Alt) Position the (mouse arrow at the point you want to zoom in) and scroll the (mouse scroll), you have to occupy both hands and it generates a certain discomfort, that is, you do two jobs and you could only do one, you want to do two jobs and you can only do one, not to mention it will be more work and less productivity, this seems to be a insignificant thing ñ is what it seems because this is one of the functions in which more will be performed a, share this idea until you reach the developers of this excellent software.

This was a great video. Also, I suddenly want to make a "cat following a laser pointer" animation using this.

[@mahmoudshalabi8613]

IK foot placement would be really helpful, and also physics-based animation

[@Eclipsed_Archon]

I had a really complicated snakelike character I was animating procedurally with sine waves and curves, and I needed it to look at the player character for a specific attack... Doing all the math on that gave me the biggest headache, but with this it'll be so much easier
