Making 3D LEGO Animations In Blender - Part 3 | Animating a Walk Cycle

[@Staycalm182]

I admire the time and effort you put into making your LEGO animation tutorials. After 4 days of learning Blender I finally made my first LEGO animation! :) Thank you!!!

[@Shadowninja_]

nice

[@jdstudios1912]

Can part 4 be about making the set and backdrop for scenes

[@AsianStudioss]

Just type up LEGO Brickfilm Set Tips or something like that ;)

[@rubrickscube7420]

Welcome back! Even though I’ve been animating for a while, you always manage to teach me something new. Thanks man! :D

[@bobi_futt]

I've learned a lot about how to use Blender from your videos and you've inspired me to try to make a short animation with it some day. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@OwenatorProductions]

Amazing. Keep going

[@krxzyyfr]

you FINALLY RETURNED. your animations are the best ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@krxzyyfr]

@CRAZACRAFT ya?

[@krxzyyfr]

@CRAZACRAFT when are you gonna make a video

[@krxzyyfr]

@CRAZACRAFT what about zombsroayle.io i play

[@splash4485]

This is hella complicated! Thanks for putting in so much effort explaining this to us

[@danz726]

I already did my first animation while I was waiting for this video lol but doesn't matter I will watch it anyways

[@OwenatorProductions]

That’s great!

[@danz726]

@@OwenatorProductions Btw do you know any method to make lego water? I have seen some tutorials but it doesn't work since they remove dupliverts in blender 2.8

[@rubrickscube7420]

@Danz sup Danz! I don’t know if you remember me from Citrine’s livestream, but I’m Rubrickscube. I will be doing both a life-like rain tutorial, and a water animation tutorial, that shows you how to use wet maps and wave maps to make the water splash around realistically. :D Stay tuned!

[@OwenatorProductions]

Danz unfortunately not. You could try out the add on Bricker but I’ve never tried before

[@benjaminn723]

Yo I just wanted to say that these are literally the best (and most underrated) lego animation tutorials on youtube that ive found, so I would highly incourage you to make more of these if u have the time :)

[@fruppy]

thanks for this tutorial series there arent that many resources for this sort of thing around so i really appreciate it. in the next tutorial can you show how to make a good scene for a lego animation, how to make the lighting good and put your lego animations in it. thanks!

[@JohnWillimann]

Really good fun to see these tutorials. Keep on the good work. You've made me want to animate these little guys again.

[@venox314]

Is part 4 going to drop? Really looking forward for some extra tips :)

[@TechCrate]

you should do one on cloth physics

[@OwenatorProductions]

I still haven’t figured it out yet

[@robfrydryck127]

This was amazing! Please make more/ They are so helpful

[@jonasmortensen1252]

Its even faster when you figure out you can save the animations as actions and reuse them at anytime

[@CSLego-cl3zp]

When is part 4 coming out. It's been a year since this came out

[@EliaForce1984ita]

Make a tutorial covering up the Mecabricks workshop and how to build a set from scratch

[@annamarin9721]

It's a very useful tutorial! Very easy to understand! Thanks

[@aliosanlou4425]

How can i change the minifgure wallking route? I want him to turn him go left for example , not just straight forward Tnx for videos by the way man❤

[@kanelangmaid9812]

Awesome thanks for your efforts. I am just learning and your tutorials are perfect.

[@chutas]

This is so usefull!,maybe you can teach how to animate actuall lego constructions?like mechs or other models?

[@robfrydryck127]

Very IMPORTANT at the end 17:51 click "A" and... what did you do to get the lines in the dope sheet?

[@simorobzor4978]

Thank you so much it was your tutorials that taught me a lot about Lego blender animations and how much I understand that this tutorial is the last one, can I find out how you do facial animations to animate conversations, etc. Like for example in your lego star wars animations

[@OwenatorProductions]

Check out Mecaface on the mecabricks shop. Designed specifically for that purpose actually. Better to do it in 3D rather than trying to 2D track afterward.

[@barnzyplays4796]

wow this actually helped me learn just normal animation :D but wow this helped, would you be able to cover animations like climbing or jumping would be really cool :D

[@OwenatorProductions]

Yeah I will do some more examples. But it’s all the same principles. Figure out what the main poses are and create keyframes for them

[@musamohamed125]

Thank you I just started but learned so much

[@blenderzone5446]

Great thanks for the tutorial!

[@mutangat]

You're the best! I love your channel! I hope maybe you make a tutorial on how to make a 2d face rig similar to mecaface, which Citrine' s animations recently made. I also hope you make more videos and I love your animations! Stay cool!❤

[@OwenatorProductions]

Lol I have no idea how to make that. I bought MecaFace. Citrine is really good at rigging stuff in blender

[@hillbrixstudios9517]

Dude you’re the absolute best at this! It must be an honour

[@artemantropov8474]

Hey, this looks great ! When will be next tutorial? This is something really interesting! Love it! Is it taking more time to make animation if to compare with standard brick motions? Your looks much better, honestly! Cannot wait next episode..)

[@OwenatorProductions]

I would say overall it’s a bit faster. For simple animations such as dialogue it’s much faster, also you can loop things like walking. But complex animations gets a bit tricky.

[@artemantropov8474]

Owenator Productions You will show to us how to do complex animations?) I definitely want to try to make some lego animations. But it’s stop me before, because you need a lot of money for decorations. And now I see, that with blender it’s possible und much more realistic. Still don’t understand why « John Week » not in hundred thousands views... maybe try to play a bit with key words and settings? How much time it took to make it, by the way?

[@OwenatorProductions]

John Wick took around 2-3 weeks to make. To answer your question about complex animation, all you gotta do is practice using keyframes and animating with the rig and you’ll learn how to make complex animations. If you ever tried making Stopmotion it’s the same principles in animation. You can even watch other blender animation tutorials that aren’t related to lego.

[@artemantropov8474]

Owenator Productions yes, it’s all about engine part of blender. Watching tutorials) and very important question for you.. because it’s animation and a lot of rendering. What is computer tech should be the minimum?

[@OwenatorProductions]

Artem Antropov you should be able to work with most computers. However the bigger and more complex your sets get the more computer power you need. Render times is also pretty obviously: faster computer faster render times. What’s your computer specs?

[@daschtheducc]

6:05 just saving my time lol

[@OwenatorProductions]

Dope sheet. I animate the entire thing in the dopesheet.

[@PetersAnimation]

Thanks

[@simorobzor4978]

And how long does it take to render your animations in a blender. Or if you can speed it up, can you say how?

[@OwenatorProductions]

It takes a long time. For my pc it’s usually 5-15 minutes per frame. Blender Guru has some good tutorials on how to speed things up

[@dazzlegraphix1863]

is there have another site to download rigs

[@ryannyberg1501]

Great video! I do have one question: I'm using Blender 2.83 and I correctly parented the rigs to the objects. Yet, when I try to move one of the rigs it stays connected to the master rig at the floor. I tried unlocking it and clearing the parent but I still can't move any rig upwards or downwards. Can anyone help?

Make sure you go inside pose mode

Hi man

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Never ever in my life have I used blender for animation, is it easy and can we add scenes mouth movements and voiceovers???

[@OwenatorProductions]

The limits in blender are insanely high. You can do basically whatever you want. There is a facial animation add on on the mecabricks shop aswell. You can import sound clips to use as animation guide. But you would be adding in the actual audio in an editing software after you render your animation

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

Sound editing software so like audacity for example? And also do you have a step by step video for blender on Lego animation for beginners

[@OwenatorProductions]

Jay George no just regular video editing software. And the tutorials on my channel are all the ones I’ve made

[@coolvibesreloaded7946]

@@OwenatorProductions ok so what is it exactly you do, do take pics after you finished ya movie then edit it or do you just plainly use blender for all your stop motion

[@parau]

Hei. Where is blenderbricks.com to get the rig? tks!!

[@OwenatorProductions]

Search up “the epicfigrig” on KZbin. That is the new blender bricks rig. Look on my community page as well.

[@TW-rn1vn]

Have you been able to figure out the cape yet? I'm having a lot of trouble

[@OwenatorProductions]

Tommy Williams yes actually. Create an IK armature setup. It won’t be automatic but you can animate it manually. You’ll also have issues with the mecabricks cape mesh, so you can either clean it up, or try to model a new cape.

[@TW-rn1vn]

@@OwenatorProductions how can you clean up the mesh?

[@OwenatorProductions]

It might be easier to model a new cape. Mecabricks models use an edge split modifier which creates duplicate vertices. And there is no way to remove them another than “merge by distance” which even then won’t fix all of it

[@EliaForce1984ita]

@@OwenatorProductions What if you use a cloth modifier on the cape so it acts like actual simulated cloth?
