Making a Quick and EASY WALK CYCLE Animation - Blender Basics Tutorial

Sooner or later we'll all have to make a walk cycle for our characters. At first, that might seem terribly intimidating but once you get into it, it turns out to be a very good learning opportunity and will help you improve as an animator in general!

THANK YOU! I already learning 2D (in my channel you’ll find a few animations) but I always wanna try with 3D program! You got a new subscriber🤗

[@thegamedevcave]

Animation principals stay more or less the same but in 3D it’s easier to move about your model compared to 2D, but there is also less room for stretching and perspective trickery. Still I can’t draw to save my life so I prefer 3D animation. I hope you find some useful info here! I also have a video on jumping animations and recently recorded a video where I make some attack animations for my next game!

I've seen people skin their model to their control rig in blender, but i'm not sure how that works if I want to export and import the animated character into unity. I'm used to having the character skinned to the bones. (Coming from maya here) Would you care to explain it?

[@thegamedevcave]

you skin the mesh to the bones and then you set up constraints that allow you to use control bones (or objects) to manipulate the bones. when you export your animations/mesh as an fbx, you can tell it to only export the deform bones (which is a setting you can toggle per bone in the object info tab while in edit mode). so any bones that you have set up for contraints should be set to not being deform bones, then when you export your animation, only bones that are marked as deform bones (the ones your mesh is skinned to) will be exported and all your animation data will be baked to those bones. so all your control rigs won't be included in that export.
