subscribed. why the intro got me like "You damn right, sir."

[@AnimatorHeadSpace]

Awesome video man! Great stuff.

[@owenferny]

Thanks mate!

[@fx_node]

great video. I was inspired to make a blender response video "animating faster with mirroring poses and walk cycles in blender"

[@florianslg1994]

hello owen, do you have the full version of this video... at times I have the impression of not understanding what you are doing. thank you very much for what you do.

[@queengabby9707]

could you please please please make a video showing how to incorperate a run cycle into an animation sequence. How do you do the blocking for an animation where you know a run will take place at some point? Do you do it over manually or can you use a pre-existing run cycle?

[@owenferny]

Great idea!

[@Zinzinnovich]

@@owenferny Im also curious about that, how do you do it? thanks your videos are amazing!

[@mrsdisneyvillian]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

[@sharanpmannur]

Hi Owenferny , please can you make a video of character turning 180 degree and start walking.

[@xpea16]

[@owenferny]

[@AnimatedEntity]

Lovely to see you

[@lilgal9346]

this is so good i dont know why it has so few views..it deserves more!! 4 min in and there is so much information...although i have to admit that im manually "mirroring" the poses because i dont have animbot..does anyone know of any good alternatives?

[@owenferny]

Thanks so much! You could always check out aTools, its the previous version of Animbot, which was free, I remember the mirror tool working well

[@EuphoriaFX]

In the right side what are this function this function are not in my maya

Dreamwall Picker

[@EuphoriaFX]

@@owenferny is that extension Or plug-in ?

[@AllisonGehrer]

Thank you for the video! This is helpful to my workflow. I have encountered an issue though. When I close and reopen the file, the character's geometry is invisible (original and duplicates). The character is referenced in. Any of the character's geometry I did not duplicate (extra bits that are part of a different character using the same rig) are still visible.

[@owenferny]

Yeah I usually delete the instances before I save to avoid issues like this, you might have to transfer the anim to a new rig to fix it

[@AllisonGehrer]

@@owenferny I'm glad it saves the animation data. That's what matters most. So I was able to figure out what worked for me... the geo in my rig was in a group, if i selected the group for duplicate special instead of the actual geo-everything worked great!

[@cleaf1592]

For some reason when i do the trick with the master control in the anim layer to add the translate z to constant it doesn't make him walk forward he just keep lagging back to the original position. Do you know what could be causing this by any chance? Also when i do just the constant for post infinity nothing happens

[@owenferny]

How strange, you've turned infinity constant on and it doesn't work? you don't have a stray key somewhere? did you end up fixing it?

[@brothersphotography7708]

great video sir love from india❤❤

[@owenferny]

Thank you!

[@Taldisuiskai]

oh those popping knees))

[@sahilsyd8618]

are u using a wacom intuos for animation? do you feel it to be more efficient as compared to animating with mouse?

[@owenferny]

Yes I'm using a wacom, I think I'm faster with it and I can definitely animate for longer before my wrist starts to hurt compared to a mouse!

[@amankumarsingh2903]

Run Cycle Next??

[@havequestion4407]

Please, KZbin needs run cycle guidence too?

[@owenferny]

Just made one :)

[@havequestion4407]

@@owenferny Thank you🥳

[@abhijeet4799]

This rig doesn't work in maya at all

[@sky5d]
