Thanks to your tutorials, I'm able to do things in MMD I had no idea how to do. Keep up the good work!

[@180Studios]

THANKS! 😊

[@MiqueMMD]

180 Studios No problem! Will definitely recommend your channel to someone if they struggle. Thanks a lot for the help!

[@dhowe111]

finally a simple tutorial on how to do this

[@lanaowo4922]

tip: to preview your model's pose, press C to remove the bone things, you can also rotate with X.

[@wolfpup14funtimez]

Thank you for making this video! The tutorial helped soo much!

[@180Studios]

My pleasure! :D

[@andynonymous6769]

I guess I'm going to use blender- this looks like it doesn't have all that I need Great video!

[@cybernight5077]

Thanks dude you helped me a lot! I think you are a little underrated!

[@180Studios]

Everyone must start somewhere!

[@cybernight5077]

180 Studios yup! 😊

[@Mourreon]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! You were very clear and I appreciate that :) Now I can animate on MMD thanks to you :D

[@Azami0001]

Thank you! Very simple and direct! I was just wondering but why does there need to be a space between frames? Like why from 0 and them jump to 30 and then jump to 60? What happens if you register each part on every frame? And also what made you think up of 30 frames? Sorry for the specific questions..... Thanks.

[@180Studios]

Usually this is what all the animators do. All the other frames are mostly for correcting movements (like when a hand goes through the model or another object). Anyway you can do experiments and see what happens when you do that it might be better or it might be worse. But you need to know that in the future you will learn about the interpolation curve and this is quite a mistake made by many. Still during animating you will learn what is good and bad like I did. Try it out!

[@Azami0001]

180 Studios ah yes I'm still trying to understand the interoploation curve and I just watched your video about that. Still a bit confused :/.

[@180Studios]

Again. Try it out! Only practicing u will learn. Even I was a bit confused about that. In my first animation sessions after that tutorial I was keeping the chart opened all the time, but now I barely open it anymore

[@Azami0001]

180 Studios alright. Guess I'll have to practice with it. Thanks!

[@180Studios]

With pleasure! If you need my help I am a comment away

[@maskymoo3567]

So, this video is actually really good! It helped a lot for me and my first time animating. It's just that every move is just slowly coming in, idk what to do about it, like if I am done animating one part then lets say that I want to move the arm next. It just slowly reels in and it comes really late until it reaches the end, I might be doing it wrong but It is my first time animating and I don't think anything is wrong with the program at all, its just me. So I am pretty sure I'm doing it wrong. 👀

[@180Studios]

If you feel like your animation is too slow bring frames closer together

[@humanityyy]

Can you copy keyframes from one bone to another? Basically I have a motion where the mouth animations are on the wrong mouth-type (eg. it's in Angry instead of Smile), so I want to copy the keyframes from the wrong one to the right one

[@180Studios]

From my knowledge you can only copy keyframes from actual bones and not morphs, and that manually using the copy&reverse functions.

[@humanityyy]

@@180Studios Oh, I see. So for the mouth, I'll just have to manually animate it?

[@180Studios]

Yes

[@garfieldthelovinglasagnaca3158]

How do you rotate full models

[@180Studios]

Select the mother bone and click rotate

[@gretagutierrez-colomer954]

Nice tutorial!! It is very useful for beginners 😁

[@180Studios]

Thanks!

[@jiminmylove5664]

I can't make animation because when I press the register, it doesn't start from the second I did ,it starts earlier what should i do pls help me

[@180Studios]

in the play tab in the bottom right corner set the frame from which you want the playback to start

[@leahs8254]

Thanks for this it was taking ages for me to figure it out!

[@Fennwer]

Mine is all Ya-know kinda red and blue and how can I fix that that ??

[@180Studios]

go to the camera and where it says "Light Manipulation" click on reset

I just saw the video. That is either a problem with your effect or you turned on some 3D view rendering as that is looking like an image you would be able to see with 3d glasses

Mine doesn't work. It will show my animation if I use arrow keys but once I hit play nothing happens. I register everything, set them in different frames, but once I hit play it stands still and does nothing.

Have you tried using a different model? I don't think that this is program related....

can you add any kind of scene you want and where can I find the scenes from? :/

[@mango9808]

I animate on opentoonz (2d) will it be easy for me to animate in 3d? is it harder?

[@180Studios]

It really depends on what you like. When switching from 2d to 3d there will definitely be some time needed to adjust. Also every 3D animation programs is different. MMD is one of the simplest and easy to understand programs but it's also very basic. On the other hand Blender is a lot more complicated but more stable and more advanced. There are a lot of things in Blender that you can't do in MMD, as MMD didn't get any major update since release. 2D animation takes a lot more drawing skill and less on the technical side of things. For 3D you need not only a more powerful computer but also technical knowledge. Still, the basic animation principles apply for both What I would do if I were in your position is try both and see what works the best. (2D and 3D)

P.S. If you have any questions about 3D @me either here or on Twitter
