How do I make it so I have a cutscene once you start the game then goes into my puppet?

[@ak8y]

Incredibly clear and smooth tutorial! How you don't have more subscribers is amazing... You're like a hidden gem in the dreams side of youtube

[@Slider2732]

Very very useful. Such a professional look when done correctly. Thanks! Am now going to keyframe and pan tilt on a linear path into my kitchen to make a coffee, while thinking about these techniques :)

[@SakkusMind]

Hahaha congratulations you won the award for comment of the week! Glad that the video was helpful to you =)

[@JJShalashaska]

I was waiting for this so much, you can't imagine how much helpful this video is! Now I'll wait for you to learn properly about character animations, with other tutorials I am just making confusion! You're a great teacher and artist, Thank you so much, Sakku!

[@CamRebires]

Very concise (unlike most Dreams tutorials) and the music makes it very easy to keep listening, well done dude!

[@sliced_salami4268]

Beautiful Tutorial! I like how detailed you explained everything and went step-by-step through it. One tutorial idea I had was about character art. I have trouble with it and it would be amazing if you made an amazing looking character while showing how you did it. Keep up the good work!

[@depressedseadog3266]

Sakku...you just made my day. Thank you so much for the tutorial!👍🏽👍🏽

[@774martinn]

This is an amazing tutorial, best yet.

[@noid5296]

Hey mate, great camera use, I was quite a while not here to check your videos out, sadly had no internet for a while. Anyway great tutorial as always, I've sent you something which I made, really isnt that much but I like the setup. Keep your work going 👍

[@TailsPrower88]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was very entertaining to watch and you have a very nice style of explaining things clearly and efficiently. I feel like I always learn cool things from your videos, while having a lot of fun watching them. Congratulations and thank you! **thumbs up**

[@IansaneArtist]

Helpful, learned a few tricks to improve my camera work for future projects.

[@Eitastic]

Excellent tutorial. Clear and to the point. Thanks a ton!

[@abigailposey1318]

Excellent work Sakku. You definitely have an artist eye for directing.

[@Matt-Cal]

Thank you, this helped a lot. I appreciate the effort you and others are putting in to help people with Dreams. This is an incredibly interesting game and these tutorials really help people such as me and many other I know. Thanks again, I wish you good luck with reaching 100k subscribers.

[@SakkusMind]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! Also I'm glad that my videos are able to help and inspire you, enjoy dreaming!! :)

[@ollie2111]

Oh this was also by Sakku's Mind. A really great tutorial also.

[@whitebeardy8174]

Thanks Sakku, really helpful. I’d be interested to understand more the difficulties and solutions of creating the long smooth camera path at the beginning of the cutscene which you mentioned at the end of your tutorial.

[@richardsgameplay6537]

Amazing work! What a great game this is! I want to make something for myself now, but I just got the game.

[@guestjr541]

THANK YOU 🙏🏽 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 👌🏽

[@SakkusMind]

Thank you, glad that this will be useful for you, enjoy dreaming! :)

[@XPHYtv]

Used a tiny clip from this on a video 😬 I credited you, you're the best 👍🏻 much love 🥰 bless

[@joels.3369]

Hi, this is by far thr best tutorial ive seen on this. Very simple and straight to the point! I was wondering if anyone might know why my puppet does not reposess after the cutscene ends. It goes back onto my puppet and the analogs control the camera but my puppet does not move. I am unsure if it is not possesed or if is possesed and just isnt moving. I have my puppet set to force possesion and this has worked fine until i did an in game cutscene like this one. Thanks :)

[@Turrican2006]

Very good Tutorial Ty

[@kaneki4087]

Never tought about using keyframes to use cameras, even though it souns so logical now that I think about it. Also Ithink its possible to just go in the tweak menu from the timeline, there you have 3 options that you can choose from and you can set it to play once.

[@sofi390]

SO USEFUL!!!

[@DogRox]

Interesting!, nice tutorial! :-)

[@DogRox]

Still watching it!! :-)

[@SakkusMind]

Glad that you enjoyed it! :)

[@chairjello1678]

Wow wish I had known this awhile ago!

[@jondwoods4742]

Can u have focus distance/blur when it’s free movement in a scene? Or does that only work when using a camera? Amazing video!! This is the BEST dreams content channel ✨✨✨

[@at9670]

Excellent tutorial. 👍🏻

[@SakkusMind]

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it! :)

[@at9670]

@@SakkusMind when the PS5 will come out, and Dreams will be available, i know which channel i will continously look at for the tutorials.

[@eliahmimon222]

Wonderful

[@MichaelFurburger]

Many thanks

[@JayFFAFAlesanaES]

Hey man. Thanks for this. The game I wish to create starts with a cut scene (what game doesn't? Lol) so this is the first thing I need.

[@angelsaurus7308]

Thank you!!!!

[@WhatIsMyPorpoise]

I'm not yet at stage where I need to use cameras in my Dreams. Still, Very helpful.

[@immaturegaming9714]

What stage do you have to be

[@zaya14.]

Hey great video! Like how you explained this and its very useful! I have a question is it possible for you to make an interactive cut scene like in the naruto storm games? Both single push where you have to press it fast and button mashing ones. Along with if you failed either it'll trigger a game over or progress threw the cut scene if you did the prompts

[@jvd1983rmd]

Key frames where giving me probs. But I see you can go in and out to add. Great way to use the tag thnx

[@c_n_uh4796]

How long did it take you to learn to do all this? I want to use Dreams for a school project but I dont know if i will have enough time to make my stuff look realistic

[@StantinGaming]

Great tutorial! It helped me create something cool and learn how the gadgets work so thanks. I have a small issue though. I want to have a short animation at the beginning of my scene to do a quick character introduction where my character exits the house being animated with the puppet gadget, have a camera zoom into him as he does that and then everything deactivates so I can control the puppet. It all works perfectly using your tutorial here but when I return to that specific scene using other doorways I keep getting spawned into the same animated doorway although I have everything wired properly. I noticed that if I remove the puppet animation it is all working fine... so my question is. Is there a way to play animations once in a scene and then never have that activate again if you come back to that scene? Keep in mind the animation is set to activate as soon as the scene starts without any zones to activate it as I want it to start as soon as the player enters the game.

[@w1nt0n.]

my cutscene wont end, and i did exactly what you did. is something wrong?

[@yassg7542]

Nice vid. Btw in your own opinion can Dreams Engine make triple A games? Like can it handle the vast amount of assets like that of a triple a game?

[@odecjohnson]

great video as always 🙏 but the music omg so beautiful especially the last song😍 you have a link or name ?

[@SakkusMind]

Thanks a lot, glad you liked it! =) I'm not sure but it might be Liam Thomas - No Time what you are looking for ^^

[@bjsmagic100]

Hi, love your videos very professional, can you help me with a problem please, I would like to make an object fade in and out of view, do you think this is possible. Thanks in advance.

[@stevencardwell5708]

Ok I’m about to throw my controller lol!! It’s probably a simple oversight. The first time i tried to make a cutscene it did no problem except it would pop back to the first camera position. So I deleted the timeline and just restarted. However, now after I position the camera at the first beginning position I try to copy the key frame by doing as I did previously hovering over the key frame and pressing and holding “x” on DualShock then I try to drag and copy but it won’t grab the key frame!! I can reposition the key frame by hovering over it and pressing right trigger but no go on drag and copy ughhh!! Very frustrating!!! Please Help!! Lol!! By the way I love your videos they have helped me tremendously

[@ToubaDam]

Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge! I have a question. I have a first person character and i came up with an issue while doing this. Everything works perfect but once the animation ends and the camera goes back to the character, the character has made a 180 turn. What should i do in order to keep it the way i left it as it was when the animation began?

[@ToubaDam]

Let me tell you also that i dont deactivate the controller sensor while the action camera is on cause i have things happening when i press buttons so i need the buttons working while animation is on

[@raadraad9379]

👍👍👍

[@Mynutegod]

This is so well explained, I understood in under 3m!!

[@generalkenobi8163]

Hi, I know its off topic, but I dont know why blend amount dissapeared from the menu. Can someone please help me?

[@josepadilla-wu9yt]

I’ve been doing this for a few hours still can’t get it working rite idk. I’ll keep trying. It just shows the last key Frame for the camera I moved but not the beginning.

[@ultrasqull]

Very usefull tutorial thank you ! I wanted to ask if anybody can tell me how is it working with still cameras ? I think about cut transitions, no travelings or dollyshots. If I try your way and don't use L1+X to fusion 2 keyframes,when I play the scene it directly jumps to the second keyframe. Any Ideas ?

[@sonichub7691]

U have to use 2 cameras and pull them into a timeline

[@pitchingwedge7546]

When I press play i see the camera going along the track but in play mode the camera just sits there statically. Can anyone help?

[@Simbabweman]

I've always been told I'm very skilled with cameras and I think of myself rather good using real cameras and using them in Maya, 3DS Max and Blender but after having dreams since day 1 (taking a break for some months in the middle) I have to say they are really unintuitive. I've put a camera down and put keuframes on a timeline where it should go, just 2 keyframes and the camera should move straight up (held L1 to move straight vertical line) and when pressing play the camera moves in a backwards arc through some objects even after multiple attempts. I have also tried using multiple cameras on a timeline putting transition types as they are clearly meant to be used like this in some way since the cameras are fitted with transition types just like keyframes are but they never move the way I want. Transitions are so frustrating I still can't get it to work and I feel you shouldn't have to make a tag and an object to follow, that's just too much work for a camera and doesn't seem very intuitive. Keyframes should be enough but they want to create their own paths instead of a straight path. I think they need to revise them a bit.

[@SakkusMind]

Hmm, I'm afraid you must have done something wrong. I can assure you that it's possible to create any movement of the camera with just a time-line and keyframes. The tag was only for the character not the camera. If you put the first keyframe at the starting position and the second keyframe position further above it will move in one straight line, it will only add a curve once there are 3 keyframes involved. I have worked with cameras in C4D before and it was a nightmare compared to Dreams 😅 can't talk about the others tho

[@Simbabweman]

@@SakkusMind thanks for the info I've managed to get the scene I was making finished since that comment and it has worked now although occasionally the camera will stutter when transitioning for a brief moment. I've tried moving the keyframes so it should be a smooth cut between positions but it occasionally still does it though not a big deal.

[@SaintGuillotine]

I wanna try creating the entire Attack on Titan area Obviously it can't be in one scene. I guess the districts can be their own scenes and the inner walls are separated into fourths so that could work. Then just try not to use all of the doors and reach the limit before I get everything. I suppose the districts can just be the same thing. But getting on the walls in the district scene I'll still have to show the area outside and the walls. Fog could always cover it up after a certain distance. Hmm, this is good. The wall part is easy enough I just need the dimensions. I obviously know the hight but the width and lengths are going to be massive. (I could make a 1:2 or 1:4 scale if 1:1 won't work.) Or I can scale the characters down a lot and make it look massive but actually small. Sculpting Titans and characters will be hard, for me at least. And it's gonna take a long time. I suppose I could have interiors put they can't be too complex as I couldn't waste using a doorway.

[@SaintGuillotine]

So step one of the design process is complete ( brainstorming an idea) Well I guess that's the third step but. We can just ignore that

[@SaintGuillotine]

So I just need to develop solutions and make prototypes.

[@malytheson]

I dont know why BUT I CANT USE THIS using Dreams is really hard in the start i hope i ONE day MEET ONE in real life who know how to play this game

[@SEANLIGHTZTV]

why you gotta use those crystal trees i used for my creation fammmmmmmmmmm you're baiting me out lmfaoaoaooa

[@SakkusMind]

Well it's an asset that I made so why wouldn't I use it xD.. don't worry though feel free to use it for your creations as well, would love to see it that's why I made it remixable ^^

[@mightdelete290]

Great tutorial but for some reason it won’t let me turn off camera

[@freddiecrook7788]

When I try to test it or use play mode, the cutscene just doesn’t happen

[@freddiecrook7788]

Wait I just forgot to press refresh

[@semi1398]

I have tried it but it doesn't work with me

[@Mcox720]

Does anyone know why my dream shaping menu doesn't look like Sakku's? When I go into dream shaping the menu that comes up has the dreams workshop at the top (where the tutorials are), under that is where I can start a new scene, element or dream and under that is where my creations are. I have seen multiple people go into Sakku's dream shaping menu and I don't know why. Please help, here is a link with a picture to help people understand feedback.indreams.me/forums/917431-dreams-bugs/suggestions/40274521-my-dream-shaping-menus-are-not-the-same-as-other-p

[@martingarricks6209]

U ever found out how to fix it?

[@Mcox720]

No, never found how to fix it. I think it was just an early menu design (before launch)

[@OofyRoofy]

Hey this didn’t work for me is it outdated?

[@ARROWVRRR]

I dont understand hiw to do this

[@evster3812]

Well that was disappointing it did not work for me.
