[@MrToogood]

Haha… Now You might wondering about blender and industry standard softwares. One more tip, Many people don’t know… Even Professional don’t know about this..When you are animate something and wanna see in real time. Bcz actually animation is faster than What we see in viewport. Go to timeline>playback and then Check for Frame dropping and now u can see the animation in real time by skipping some frames. Before 2.8 its was named as No Sync,Frame Droping,AV Sync but now from 3.0 they named them as Play every frame, Skip frames and audio visual sync. It was the best thing i got know✨Additional Tips turn on Simply and reduce number…Cool 😎

[@BrianKouhi]

Fantastic tip! Haha I just finished talking about it on my course recording yesterday 😂

[@Dubiestcream]

HUGE thanks for this, ive been animating with this constraint problem dealing with it manually for over a year and was just lazy enough to not look into the solution

[@Hubwood]

That Tip with the X Button at the beginning saved my life. I was about to throw the PC out of the window :D Thanks a ton for sharing that!

[@jmahonatam]

I'm an animator who works in Maya primarily and am trying to learn blender to do my own stuff on my own time, this channel rules and is a huge help!!

[@BrianKouhi]

Ha awesome to hear!

[@Sinoki1]

Did you ever end up learning it?

[@DoesntReadReplies]

I would like to nominate this video for the "Wins the Internet" award. This add-on is so amazing and is exactly what I need. Thank you X 1000!

[@BrianKouhi]

I accept 🏆😂

[@SpysCr3ed]

I've heard of this plugin before but i rarely hear people using it so i didn't thought it's worth a try but now when i did it oh man... it does exactly what it's meant to.. it even does the repositioning after reassign more constraints you're meant to do by yourself automatically

[@Vidyut_Gore]

This addon is magic, I swear. Two buttons to grip you tight and raise you from perdition...

[@RoughDonut]

Such a helpful addon! Thanks for showcasing it Brian! Also , I CANT get over how COOL the Max rig is looking !!!

[@BrianKouhi]

😁 That's awesome to hear!

[@jordanrichardson2367]

I’m so glad I saw this video. The parent to child process from the 1st video seemed like something that could easily make you slip up. Thanks so much!

[@BrianKouhi]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Man3gga]

[@sirjohnplaton2085]

WOW >< i almost crying like child, thank you a lot!

[@muhammadanas3310]

Thank you very much! I was working on the reload animation and encountered an issue when trying to parent and unparent the constraint between the left and right arm. Your suggestion saved me a lot of time. I appreciate your help once again.

[@BrianKouhi]

Happy to help!

[@JayCreationsDev]

I'm sooooooooo glad i found this video wow, this makes my life WAY easier as a FPS animator that does reload animations

[@rasulfata7607]

[@BrianKouhi]

Glad it was helpful!

[@RunorDieyt]

Enjoyed brother keep uploading 💝

[@lovelettar]

I just wanna say this addon is amazing I think everybody should install it cuz the child of constraint is so user unfriendly!!

[@heckensteiner4713]

Great quick video! But it also left we with a couple of questions. What's happening under the hood and how are these constraints edited? Is it adding a typical Blender constraint just in a simpler way with less clicks? Can influence still be animated? Thanks for the video whether or not you get around to these questions!

[@fuzokuhlemagudulela6850]

Exactly what I needed. Thank You

[@davidvideostuff]

Thx dude !!! You're a life-saver !!!

[@ching2957]

[@lordthunderfist6379]

It works..........IT WORKS!!!!! MANY THANKS!!!!

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

This is so useful. This guy is a Batman and you are Alfred for sure!

Great video, thx !!!

[@andreasnoutschmidt9964]

Amazing, thank you!

[@PaytonTate]

Quick question about this function, as I haven't found any answers on this, can you add already existing Child Of Constraints (ones made before the addon was installed) to the Dynamic Parent , or do you have to create them again from scratch?

[@salamota]

Can you do it so that both hands hold a stick and the hands move freely while holding the stick, then one hand releases the stick and the other holds it? Then the left hand holds the stick and the right hand releases it.

[@mario2988]

Yes I do, thank you!

[@HiddenskyYT]

Thanks broo

[@More-Rago]

thanks dad!

[@BrianKouhi]

🧔‍♂️👍

[@Lookwhatyoudonemademedo]

There’s another addon called grab it that too look promising to work with for constraining props

[@sanaullahraisofficial]

Thank you so much for this. Because I am tired of Parenting objects.

[@BrianKouhi]

😎👍

[@gokhanelmac]

awesome awesome.Where are these tutorials? How can i buy these sets ?

[@dough254]

I keep getting an error but I wasn’t in pose mode. Ima go try that and see if it works

[@eduallstartup]

Do you have any course where you teach from scratch modeling and creating the enviroment and animating ? O mean the all process

[@BrianKouhi]

Hey, I'm afraid that's not something that would fit in a single course, and if it did, it wouldn't be comprehensive enough. We are however thinking of starting work on a Modeling, texturing and rigging course, but this would be after the current animation course is complete.

[@michawobat6683]

This is a very useful tool,thanks for the work. Build in function is very annoying

[@BlueBerryFTW]

Because the child object is a separate rig, how can i shift click it the parent bone then child rig?

[@hillfortherstudios2757]

Do you have to get the two objects to have the same origin or something? I can't get them to move together still.

[@subirsantra7723]

Hi, in Maya we can take a locator and parent constraint with hand and hand never moves even when global is animated too. I am new to blender .In my animation I want to keep hand in same place when global is animated. Can we do it in blender?

[@Troyzhen]

Thanks sensei

[@TheTattorack]

Installed the addon on Blender v3.2.1 (latest version at the time of writing) and the Dynamic Parent tab is nowhere to be found in the N-panel. Sad it's no longer working as I really need something like this right now.

[@BrianKouhi]

If you already made sure it's checked and turned ON in your preference, you might have to use it on Blender 3.2.0 for now until a new version of the addon is added.

[@TheTattorack]

@@BrianKouhi Yeah, I checked, checked again... and checked once more. It's installed, it's activated, I even restarted Blender a couple of times and made sure it was still active in the addons settings, and it still isn't there. So... yeah, I either gotta use a slightly older version of Blender if it works on that, or find some other way to dynamically switch between parents.

[@hotsauce7124]

In Blender 4, the object I want to Dynamic Parent fly's off the rig when I hit the "Create" button. The object is not a rig, it is a mesh. I select the Rig then shift select the object. Then press the "Create" button. The object fly's off the hand after pressing the "Create" button. Does this happen to other people?

[@Thecreekysailboat]

This kept causing my rig to explode permanently and needed to re-rig my character each time I used it. Uninstalled and the problems went away. I'll just do it the ol fashioned way.

[@BrianKouhi]

What! Was this on Blender 3? 👀 I've personally never had that happen.. super unfortunate.

[@hotsauce7124]

Does the provided download link work in Blender 4.0? Just asking, I tried to find the download in the forum post, but did not see anything for Blender 4.

[@antoonsorg]

Can we still use this dynamic parent add on with blender 3.6 ?

[@ErenSaritas]

i guess it automates the adding keys and applying visual transform and so on processes right? i mean, will we need to install this add on render slaves? or is just an addon work on animator's computer. Thanks a lot!

[@BrianKouhi]

Yeah it pretty much just automates the process, it wouldn't be doing anything extra. So if normal constraints work on render slaves, this should work the same.

[@ever6]

Hey how's the navigation in Blender i.e Maya to Blender? Just curious if your using Blender default settings or maya hybrid. I have some free time coming up soon so I'll probably install Blender soon.

[@BrianKouhi]

It shouldn't take more than a week or two to get familiar. There's just a couple of things that are different, but just like Maya there's the outliner, graph Editor, timeline and viewport. I use Blender's default settings, except 2-3 hotkey changes

[@neutronstar5840]

In Blender 4.0 when changing position after setting the button to activated, it brings changes of position through all animation. So i may suggest, this tool doesnt work on Blender 4.0.

[@stardusty]

Does this work if I'm exporting to unity?

[@JC-ov8ko]

Will the course contsin lip sync animation as well?

[@BrianKouhi]

Yep, we'll have an entire section on Facial Animation, including Lipsync!

[@mr.creature1252]

is this addon free?

[@BrianKouhi]

Yep, last I checked it was free.

[@mr.creature1252]

@@BrianKouhi thanks for answer 👍👌
