    Editable motion path would be sweet! Blender is missing a lot of great animation tools I still miss from Maya, but the software has evolved tremendously since I switched just 4 years ago so the sky is the limit!

    Great video! I'm now learning to animate in Blender, coming from Autodesk Maya, not to replace but to be able to learn that skill.
    The edible motion arc tracker is a must, and for me also the ability to have non weighted tangents in the graph editor.

    • @Fasty
      @Fasty Рік тому +5

      Absolutely agree! The motion path tool in Blender feels so janky... I don't think it can really be a credible professional animation tool until it has real-time editable motion paths in the viewport.

    HOW HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE?! this is amazing!!!

    Well there's one edge case for video games where you care about only one angles. Sidescrolling games. I'm actually glad more games are taking advantage of this (the latest to date being Mario Wonder but a few have done it before like Guilty Gear Xrd/Strive) because it shows the power of traditional 2D animation for 3D. It can't be applied to all games sure, but I think this will quickly become a cornerstone to making good looking sidescrolling 3D animations !

    Question...I'm thinking to do your course...I want to do great animations for my character for a game...question...do game engines use BONES only? Noob question I know. I just see your bones turn into an armature and alot of blender rigs like rigify turn into a armature or whatever it turns the bones into or use for animations with the controls....do you just need bones for a game engine?

  • @iamawatcher9201
    @iamawatcher9201 Рік тому

    Been using this recently and it's a really handy tool, but the one downside is that it starts becoming very laggy after using it for a while. Even if you reduce the frame length to the bare minimum it'll still make Blender run very slow if you used motion paths elsewhere. And the only solution i could find is just starting a brand new blend file. Is there some sort of motion path cache that we should be clearing?
