RPG graphics E05: Run animation [Blender]

[@SebastianLague]

Hi everyone, sorry if my voice is a little croaky at times in this video, I'm just recovering from a cold. The next video (coming later today) will be the first integration episode -- importing what we've created thus far into the Unity project that Brackeys has been working on. Since that video will be uploaded as part of the gameplay playlist, I'll leave a link to it here once it's up. Next up in this graphics playlist we'll be creating clothes, armour, and weaponry for our character.

A tip : watch series on flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies recently.

[@luisdominik128]

@Javier Marcellus Definitely, been watching on flixzone for since november myself :)

well done, well explained, you are far better than a normal good teacher, you are addressing all levels from beginner to pro, glad i found your channel, cheers

dovahkiin youkai That was a random insult thrown into the middle of a compliment

TechnoGuider eh, explain

[@roboboi1571]

"you are far from a good teacher" generally means that he's a bad teacher. That confused me since all the other statements were positive and then one negative one thrown in

[@spounka]

nah, i said it in n positive way, thanks for telling me

[@spounka]

better ?

[@masterod1]

Let me just say, your animation tuts are the best. Thank you.

[@ryanyab02]

Finally found how to insert a keyframe with just pushing I in 2.8. There is a "keying" drop-down and can choose LocRot from there.

[@notanamehere8355]

LUL Nice

[@marksevastipol1946]

THANKYYOU!!! I realized the mistakes I was making the were simple things but your simple tutorial has saved me alot of time THANKYOUUU!!!

Good job man, and it is great that there is no wasted time at the beginning and the end ;)

[@nawazuddin8229]

for me, this is your gift which is for me like the best animation in the world!

[@sheepusdobeanimating]

Oh god i didnt expect walking animation would be tough for me lul i really had to search for this thanks!

[@dawidwojda3996]

I'm very greatful for those videos. I'm a programmer but I also want to learn other disciplines of gamedev. With your videos I've made my first character model and animations. Can't wait to import this in unity :)

[@senlee325]

Thank you! This is perfect for a project I am working on.

[@dapperdennis4564]

Absolutely Loving this series!!! Thank you!!

[@Incenpilz]

This Video is pure Gold!

[@asdlionel4839]

best tutorial series ever, thank you man

[@stupidrainbo]

I spent so long perfecting the run animation that I gave up on the whole series. My perfectionism destroyed my hopes and dreams. But my run animation is pretty badass, at least.

[@nikefootbag]

If anyone has trouble with the feet being animated strangely (flipped) in the completed "end-of-video" file in newer versions of blender (2.8, 3.0) etc: - On Foot.L and Foot.R, on the existing CopyRotation Bone Constraint, turn on Invert X & Y

[@brisinger184]

Thank you!! This was driving me crazy until you fixed it. Your comment needs more upvotes.

[@marianalozadav9814]

Thank you so much, you are an amazing teacher. Hope you still doing an amazing videos like this

[@stephanszitha370]

Folks, we know how to make a face, a head, a body, and environments. We did donut tutorials, cupcakes, landscapes, and even rigging. We now have to learn walk cycles, running, facial expressions, and Sound to F-curve, which is lip syncing. Then u'll have your first film. I thot i was done when I got to rigging Errrrrrm

[@CrapE_DM]

You really want to bring that back arm further back (and bend it more). It'll really help sell the amount of effort being put into running. When training to run, I was taught that the arm swinging backward is the main driver for speed. Even if you're not going for a skilled speedy person, it'll still make it look better.

[@Guslink04]

I don't speak english very well... so, sorry if I say something wrong, but, I just want to thank you for the series, I just lear so much with your videos, blender it wasn't so easy for me before. I'm really thank you!!

[@SebastianLague]

I'm happy to hear the vids have been helpful! :)

[@pite9]

If someone can't find their bones after putting them on a different layer, try to find one of the bone parts in the object menu to the right, under Armature - Armature - Hips etc. Then you should end up on the armature page, and look at layer visibility and make sure it's all greyed.

You helped me a lot, thanks!

[@green3y3guy]

Awesome tutorials. Learned a lot! Just got a small question. How do you export the animated model to import it to Unity? And how do you export multiple different animations for the same rig?

[@Kephirus]

I love you'r tutorials man, very nice, simple and professional. On a side note it's very ocuward to se someone opening their arm in a running animation XD, the arm are always bent and dont open much more than 100 degrees.

[@bahaatamer1245]

Maybe they just want to give you a hug? 🤷‍♂️

amazing tuts bro,learning veery much here, thanks a lot

[@frisk6303]

YOU ARE AWESOME! 😃😃 I thought I would need to buy assets to make my game and was sad that I could not create my game's own unique cutscene but you helped me a a lot. By the way looking to your videos, may I ask that you've got some enmity with face textures or you like ghosts? XD

[@metavoid6]

im having a problem with copy and pasting to make the full run cycle when i select everything and copy it blender copys the amount of keyframes and their distance from one another but every keyframe is the same so on the second half after i hit ctrl shift v it just freezes can someone help plz im using blender 2.79

[@carloscuellargarcia1982]

Hello. I have a question. Does these walking and running animations work for multiple characters? I want to be able to choose between different characters with the same animations, so if I create the walking/running animations in blender for this base mesh, and then create different meshes in Blender for the other characters (with the same rigging) will I be able to apply the animations from the base to every character in Unity? Thanks

[@daniel3844]

I have a problem. When i copy the keyframes in the action timeline, and then pres Shift + Crtl + V, it doesn't copy some of the keyframes. I have no idea how this happens.

[@wowkenburns]

I have the same issue. Had to manually animate the last frames of the walk animation.

[@kierandetheridge4177]

I had this problem too, and I just watched closely in this video and caught where I was going wrong. He selects all items in the action editor, then Ctrl + C. He then goes to frame 9, and places his mouse cursor over the 3D View. This was the main part I missed out. With his cursor over 3D View, he presses CTRL + SHIFT + V and pastes the flipped model. Then you press i to insert the keyframes. Hope this helped. :)

[@velsia1]

when I create a new animation and insert new frames blender reverts them back to the old walk cycle and resets everything, been stuck on this trying to solve the problem for 4 hours.

im quite new to blender can someone explain why when he drags his feet down it pulls the whole character down? how can i also achieve this

[@baryafe]

when you move down the hip -1:03. how the body moves and the feet are inn the same place?

[@tonygod70]

Hello Sebastian, thanks for another great tutorial. How long have you been using Blender and how long would you say it took you to be comfortable modeling, rigging and animating with it?

[@codebreaker2590]

My character animation is not showing in unity inspect, animation window in only shows 2 operation... Please help me how to fix that

[@Mbg-tech]

Hi, newbie here.How do you make the model actually move from point A to point B ? It seems to walk but stays at one place ?

[@quintusthegnome7429]

You could move the whole model manually for each key-frame, but movement is not what blender is for. You should do the actual motion in the game engine, like unity. Blender animations are just for positioning the 3d model's joints.

[@donovanblc5206]

I've used blender to animate someone doing a forward roll, when the animation finishes the character is now rotated a full 360 degrees from the start and when it blends back to idle it glitches for the duration blend as it rotates back to 0 degrees. Any ideas for solutions? Tank you

[@dontbealoneru]

Hello, firstly, I wish to you recover as soon as possible! :) and thank you for awsome tutorials ! Will be nice if you make a video about proper exportation of model, because when export it like collada and import after this, animation is broken, Thank you! Blender 2.78c

[@MiniaturWunderlandOfficial]

Awesome Tutorial. I downloaded the rigged character. I want to make him smoke (Quick Smoke Effect). But that does not work. The character is always hidden. You only see the bones and then black smoke. Can someone help me? I have to consider something else if I want to apply particles or other effects on the character? Thank you!

[@generic........]

nice job! (Again) do you work with unreal engine 4? i'm making a game on it and your animation videos are helping a lot with my characters behavior! thanks so much! you explain the reason of doing certain procedures better than any other tutorials i have seen! keep up the good work! i think i might start some tutorials on RPG maker or Cryengine or unreal engine 4 soon, but I'm only 14 so it might not be great XD

his videos are with unity

[@olavhs4747]

I cant get any frames into the dope sheet! Is this method districted to one type of rig only? im using the MXH rig. please help.

[@aldigangster123]

make sure to hover your mouse over the 3D viewer, when pressing [i]. I made the mistake to to hover over dope sheet. Then it won't work.

[@jacsu]

How can u delete an action so that it doesn't appear in the drop down menu?

[@genesisproject8305]

i did follow the step by step but no animation after i drag 1-8

[@Theppo101]

Make sure you input the new keyframes after you changed frames. If two frames have the same coordinates and rotation, there won't be any animation. Save the first frame, then go back to the eight, make the changes and input the new keyframe. If you accidentally forget to input the new keyframe and click a new one, you'll just erase any changes you just made.

[@frostaegis8653]

weird... ctrl+shift+V does not work for me when copying the step to complete the cycle...

[@SebastianLague]

When you copied with crl+C did you have all keyframes selected + all bones selected in dopesheet summary + cursor placed over the dopesheet window? If the shortcuts aren't working, you can also try using the buttons. Just expand the dopesheet window a bit and you'll see them on the far right along the bottom bar.

[@SharpData]

I had the same problem. You need to copy with ctrl+C on the dopesheet and not on the 3D viewer. Than, simply paste using ctrl+shift+V

[@kharief8008]

it doeswork you idot try press it more dan once noob

[@raisapernu7170]

My character turns around 180 degrees when i paste shift + ctrl + v...

[@TheCapper2650]

My head goes back and forth as he runs how can i disable this?

[@Theppo101]

If you have any keyframes that you accidentally added without meaning to, just select the head and remove the unnecessary frames from the dopesheet. Now in case that you managed to mess up while weight painting and assigned some vertices to the head on some other bone, just make sure you remove the connection between those bones. I would say check the dopesheet and erase any keyframes attached to the head and the neck, then re-do them accordingly.

[@leatherandpoemscharmyman5774]

hi bro ,has you create "actions strip" for these series? to export to unity.

[@underscore787]

Is this for Unity?

[@MrBaumTV]

I wanted to know if I can do it. Took your reference and started without watching the video. It looks good but it is reversed lmao. Just Irrealis it's from right to left

Alt + G and Alt + R

[@kharief8008]

press CRTL + N

[@divisionzero715]

Is it just me, or are the character's feet a bit small?

[@theGreaterAwareness]

Just make whatever style you want for your character. Depending on the amount of detail you can fit onto the screen, and the camera angles, the proportions of characters can be exaggerated to make whatever style you think is good for your audience.

[@divisionzero715]

Yeah, I've got that. But it might just be me being used to seeing 12's every time I look down.

[@kharief8008]

it is cause of your small eyes you are prob asian

[@regensonne8908]

IS this Blender or Cinema 4D?

[@SebastianLague]

Blender

[@kharief8008]

no its cinema 34dnoob

[@frisk6303]

Give me a gun.

[@Honeystain]

I know this might not be your field but I think you should do more research on animation (I.e classic Disney animation) before putting this video out. The tutorial overall has improved, but the animation itself looks just as pathetic as the last one you did. But anyway, this is more of a Blender tutorial than an animation tutorial so I guess I'm just being fussy.

[@slimabob]

Do you have any recommendations on resources?

[@soundsbeard]

speaking for myself I don't need extra realistic walking animation, bc first of all I was interested in full "character to unity" pipeline. and animation part should be as quick as possible

[@kharief8008]

shutup youidiot he knows more than you on animating why are yiu here iff you know so much shut up kool man kid dude you think vyou are cool bt your not noob roblox lol shut up.

[@daven9536]

I have to disagree with this. Brevity and simplicity is what makes this series so great. I get frustrated by tutorials that produce an absolutely perfect result that i can never even hope to achieve simply because i lack experience and practice (and will never have enough time to achieve it). This right here is perfect teaching material for beginners because the result is actually achievable by people.
