13.2 Pose to Pose Animation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- In part 2 of our pose-to-pose animation tutorial, let's go a little deeper into "blocking". We'll start from the single pose we created in in part one and block in a simple performance. We'll cover a lot of ground today, so get ready, the tutorial is a bit longer and a lot more in depth.
It's so simple, yet complicated. I love it.
Well it all works, only I don't see these edits in the time-line, only a white stroke, where is a transisition in it. But I Don't see it. And I can't play the animation back for one reason
lol its like a random game
do you have the timeline selected, or are you on the viewport (e.g you've been moving the camera or character)? are you having issues with regular highlighting?
i would try an english keyboard to be safe.
no
Neat

Someone needs to give this dude a glass of water, oh my god.
Seriously he needs 12 glasses of water
say that to the dude in the first tutorial
He's like the Bob Ross of Source Filmmaker.

yes
Yea
@@saltyfishcakes Did you seriously commented to a 5 year old comment?
@@Damashie Because a masterpiece is timeless.
Omg this guy is an expert in SFM.
Probably because he is part of the team that created SFM.
Sickle Pickle Yeah. that could be a good explanation.
Joeri van Alphen he helped make sfm, watch the trailer, aka the first video on his channel, and, his channel name IS source filmmaker
Just imagine scolding your cat for peeing on the floor
“That was unfortunate”
OK let me give you guys my advice. If you are very very new to SFM do not watch this tutorial. Seriously it might sound like japanese to you guys. If you watched the previous tutorial, then great. I know that everyone wants to make those cool animations but really, after making the movement in this tutorial you wont remember any of the basics. BEFORE making animations I HIGHLY suggest making posters. They are fun, easy, and you will learn how to navigate through bones, cameras, and controls. Going right into animations will do nothing but stress you the hell out. BELIEVE ME I'm here to help m8s!
Exactly my story. I Immediatly wanted to make high-quality smooth animations, but I quickly realised that was step was a little too much. So I kept it easy and made posters to practice with posing. Now I'm getting a little into these pose-to-pose animations, hopefully it will work out.
Well,not really for me,i directly jumped into pose-to-pose animations,when i installed it,watching these tutorials,and my first animation is going pretty well xD
I worked on learning the controls and made some posters the only thing that keeps me from animating is that i do not know how to select a area of time so i can use the round preset
GenralCraft
all you do is hold shift in the motion editor and you'll figure it out. I had problems with that earlier too.
BordyDogue ive been doing the same and i started to make a basic animation
I got through it! It took me 4 and a half weeks of procrastination but I did it!
can we just all stop for a moment and look at the spy's abs?
Princess Cherry you gay or somethin nigga?
ProGamingBarney08 what if it isn’t a guy?
mhm.. dem some good abs.
I need to find that model

I'm really digging these tutorials of yours. I like how they're right to the point, with no unnecessary complexity.

@@splitfancycake9069 I don't think you know what a joke is, bud. Saying woooosh doesn't save you from being painfully unfunny
Seriously, what kind of joke is "hehe, time"? Next time, don't forget that jokes are supposed to have comedy in them
@@Gon-hx4df you have a terrible sense of humor
The tutorials straight from Valve are by far the most helpful. I never used the motion editor because I had no idea about using bookmarks and the other stuff that was shown here. Friggin awesome!
That first tutorial helped so much, Thanks a lot! Without it, I wouldn't have been able to figure a single thing out for the life of me
but can you actually draw curves on the project, because he didn't really explain that
@@noireanimationsno you cannot, he physically drew it on his computer screen, like actually took a marker and drew on the screen. I would not recommend that, but it’s your computer
i wonder why Valves employees have almost naked models of their game characters.
The almost naked model for the spy is used in the scene from "Meet the Spy" when the spy tosses down pictures of an almost naked Spy and Scout's mother.
How do you know that valves employees have almost naked models of their game character?
you didn't watch the video at all. did you?
Mr Funreal Yes i did, but you said "almost naked models of their game character" so do you mean that valve got every character almost naked version? Like Gordon Freeman?
xaros1466
Only Spy and Mother I guess, because other models aren't necessary.
Lmao, that start.. sniper in the van screaming, at the moment of falling, the sniper scream became a soldier one, and once the crash happened, the soldier became a heavy... Pure art, i dont know if it was intentional, but it's funny
The 35 people that disliked must have drawn on their screen with a permanent marker instead of a dry erase one.

digitalmonkey541
well look at you, Mr. Freetime
Yup, online school is the best
digitalmonkey541
i see...
from my experience sfm probably the best 3d animation software out there.
For anyone having problems about not having decimals when zooming in the timeline then follow this
1: Make sure you're on the clip editor.
2: Right click to find time code display (Right click where the bookmarks get placed)
3: Set it to "Timecode: Second"
Then you can see decimals when zooming in the timeline. I hope this helps :)
CONGRATULATIONS, YOU CREATED 2 OF THE 2 MILLION POSES YOU'LL PROBABLY EVER MAKE!

+xxx_K1ll_M3_ what about sfm2? great. valve learned the number 3 but forgot what a 2 is. now they will be confused why some of their games have a strange symbol in the name... I'm so sorry for that unfunny joke I'll leave now
I honest to god have no idea why anyone would dislike the vid. You're getting animation tips from the dudes who created the software, that doesn't just happen.
9:10 If someone has a different keyboard, like I do, and there are no "[" and "]" buttons, you can set the keyboard shortcuts.
Which id does it have?
This is very easy! I'm surprised how simple this is, really. It looks daunting, but once you can "read" the interface, it makes a lot of sense.
Those of you who don't have a dry erase marker or would rather not write on your scree, I used Epic Pen to easily draw on my screen.
I'm currently doing this with the Miss Pauling model, ooooooh booy.
Ooooooh boy
Ooooooh yeah?
I'm good at SFM now, thanks V0lv0
HOW DID YOU GET IT
Alanotics incredibly late but there are some models of her on the workshop
0:23
that's beautiful.
"THAT WAS UNFORTUNATE."
I died
if u have an issue with blocking, i recommend using the graph editor for animation as you wouldn't have to worry too much about the round preset. you still have to speed up parts of the animation
I think using the graph editor is much easier than having to get the green bar in the motion editor into its place every time.
I agree I’m finding it a lot more easier to animate with the graph editor than the motion editor

A Squid well done.
This was a really good tutorial! Really helped me, I was posing then realized I didn't know how to make frames, big help!
just use Epic Pen, it lets you draw on your monitor without actually using a dry erase marker :V
just draw your monitor with a pencil
I drew on my monitor with a permanent mark 🙃🥲
Edit: this is just a joke
The values he was entering were based on how the Spy is rotated, and what side he was trying to view him from. Yours is probably different, as was mine. All you really need to do is manually move the camera as close to the rotation you want as possible, then double-click on 'rot', and round the last value up/down to 0, or positive or negative 90 or 180 - whatever's closest. All the other values still go to zero. Hope that helps. :P
9:45 BRING IT AROUND TOWN
Thanks so much! it is the best animating site ever!
“I think I will try to learn SFM.”
2 seconds later
Computer is on fire 🔥
i'm so happy that this program exist if it didn't i'm sure that i would have had a hard time figuring out what i wanted to do with my life and how i could do it.
2:50-2:57 what did you do. For me he just goes from one pose to the next he does not move :(
same
That part confused me too. He goes over what to do in more detail later in the video, though.
The same happened to me
I can't wait to see what budding SFM users (like myself) will make with this tutorial. I've got a few idea's to work on.
Help? I separated three little regions of time, I did my first pose and went on to the next. When I finished that pose I went back to the first pose and the arm was messed up. My problem is that every time I do a new pose it overrides the previous pose. For example, one pose I have scout's arm in a resting pose. In the next region of time I have it up in a high-five like position. I go back into the first pose and magically it's changed it position to a high-five looking pose. I put it back down to rest then go to the second frame, and magically the high-five pose I did in the second frame is now a resting hand pose. I really need some help, I'm getting real steamed. Also, when the guy in the tutorial moves a bodypart, the editor stays a shade of green, mine turns orange. Are these two thing related? Thanks for any help I get.
+Dipper Pines I'm not sure about the first part of your problem, but the second one is that you didn't follow his instruction to turn off the floating modification layer at 3:32
I dont know if you already found an answer, but i think its because when you finish posing you just make it for certain parts, instead of the full model and thats why it messes up, so when you finish posing select the whole model and press enter to save the changes
I only jest. my frustration lies in the fact that valve is the only ones who have made the tutorials that I need to learn source film maker. I have high respect for valve, and know they are biding their time to make the best product they can they are the most generous game company out there. where others would sue valve. encourages, and cultivates. and for free it's quite remarkable.
I wonder how long it took to animate the intro.
the after crush scene probably needed most of the time
im loving these tutorials, finally i can use this to make hopefully awesome sfm films
9:45 BRING IT AROOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDD TOWN
Amazing. I exclusively used the graph editor before this, and I'll probably start using a combination of both now.
8:27 skip to here to get pass all the boring stuff.
You're doing god's work!
Ocelot oh. thx
Damn this program gives you so much control, and it's really simple to use once you get used to it.
This will take a while to figure this S-form thing out. I didn't manage to get it right.
Oh wow, I see you on gameshock a lot. Thats where I recognized you from.
Oh yeah, I recognize you too.now. What a small world.
Beautiful, fluid animation work right here.
I don't have [] keys ._.
How the..!
How did you type that bracket anyway!?
SFM Pyscho Maybe he doesn't have an american keyboard, I don't have one either.
***** how can we do bracket thing then. (I haven't got american keybosrd either)
Owl A. Well if you have brackets why didnt yo press it? XD
Alt Gr + G and F
I tried my best to follow all the directions and yet my animation still jumps from frame to frame even of I did that round thing.
When I try flipping between poses, it stays the same and doesnt keep the previous one on the last place
+That Sphee
I wanna see some content from this channel.
thats cause you got 'all of time' selected
everyone gangsta till the ink can't be erased
I'm stuck around 2:50 this is like school. That grid at 2:57 looks like the inside of a computer omg this is confusing
late but,same.
@@Thegoofiestmanonearth happy you understand. Lol
9:44 the way spy rotates like a chicken LOL
what's bothering me is that deep down at valve there is a Spy model in his underwear sitting on some hard drive.
*GASP* I- I THINK I’M ACTUALLY STARTING TO GET IT NOW!! I THINK... I UNDERSTAND! SFM REALLY IS AN EASY ANIMATION TOOL!
That moment when English Captions aren't available and you have to rely on the unreliably auto generated english captions
i love the little example animations at the beginning XD
Hi, with [ ] i cannot switch between bookmarks, how that?
turn on american keyboard
that's is bullshit, why do we need american keyboard, this world is not made of americans.
Top quality course and it's free. Thank you, good sir.
hey, i have a problem whit the " [ " and " ]" buttons... somehow i can't use them.... need help :(
i have the same problem. really upset.
i found a solution- hold down shift and manually select time with the green marker. make sure you hold down shift while you select it.
ty
watching this seems like this is a piece of cake,but actually trying to do this is a pain. You must have patience.
what tool do i use to have the positions morph in to each other?
You need to hold down alt then press f4
Liar that exits you
If the bracket keys do not work, put your keyboard in English and use the "+" and "´" keys.
This guy talks like a robot... :D
At least he helps!
my first hours on sfm.this helped a TONS
Me:"I can do this!" *opens SFM
"ok pffffft yea create" *NO MAP LOADED*
"Shit."
I'm kinda new to SFM, but I have to say that for everyone having issues with the motion editor or can't keep up with this tutorial that well, I recommend using the graph editor. It's a little bit easier. You just bookmark one point in time and make a pose then bookmark another point and make another pose. Lol
after watching this i have given up my biggest life long dream
+Erin Eldredge Should've known beforehand that the animator's life-long requirement is patience.
Do not give up, I'm twelve! if a twelve year old can do this, YOU CAN TOO!
JUST DO IT MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE...... YES YOU CAN!
I love the beginning of the video.
the round preset wont do anything for me?
me too
oh i realized you have to drag your mouse to the right while clicking :P
Gabi Brown
was that your problem?
no i just clicked on round instead of dragging
Gabi Brown
fuck, thanks man it worked!
I want to learn to animate so bad, but his voice sends me into a rage
For some reason i can never understand the animation videos, i guess i'll never animate.
Thank you! I've been animating the hard way, this will definitely save some time.
hey you valve PLEASE UPDATE SOURCE FİLMMAKER AND TEAM FORTRESS 2 !AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
watching this for the first time I couldn’t understand it at parts
After using SFM for a while and watch this again I finally truly understand it and realized what I’ve been doing wrong
got to love how he doesnt even tell us how to use the round preset
select some time using the shift key then drag the round slider to the right
hannah that dont help
Beeping Difficulties Ok so if you hold shift while holding your mouse down and dragging it across the time bar thing at the bottom then you'll select it. Then drag your mouse horizontally along the box that says round.
But... He did.
the way you teach is Awesome
SFM allows you to make animations too easy.
no
CubeGames Official Do elaborate.
Ben Turner all animation is made like this (well if you use the graph editor) and it isnt easy. you need to know the 12 princeples of animation, learn to pose, acting, ect
CubeGames Official That doesn't change the fact this makes it a lot easier to animate. And "all animation is made 'like' this", doesn't mean this is an exact representation if you were to animate on any other program. It is easy, just tedious.
Ben Turner try making good animation yourself then, yes it is easy if you use the record thing or the motion editor. but the graph editor is the exact same as a program called maya, which is used by pixar.
His voice is so calm and fluent
All of his mouth sounds are so gross
These videos are great, really helpful!
This video deserve more views.
hey i need some help!!!! from 17:30 when i try to create the transition, i have floating modification layer on, but when i press shift and move the mouse it doesnt create the transition, it just moves the marker....... what do i do?
Nice tutorial! Now I know how to animate characters!
18:01 18:36 My middle mouse button is broken. Is there a way to do this as precise without it?
You are very calm and collected person considering what you just read. I envy you :)
I want to animate, but I can't find properly structured tutorials like this one. Please finish this series!
Hey, I dont know too much but I will tell you that you need to use falloffs, hold shift and use the mousewheel to scroll out falloffs and then drag them into place. Just play around with these for a while until you get it, sorry I dont know enough to explain it better
If you accidentally use permanent marker then just use a 50/50 solution of isopropanol and water. Keep rubbing and rubbing until it's all gone. If it's not going away, lay your monitor flat, let the mixture sit for a few seconds on the marker, then rub! Repeat until you aren't crying anymore. Cheers.
Awesome tutorial.. Thanks, You rule!
i learned a-lot in the past 24 hours, and im currently using the graph editor to do all my animation (its time consuming, and not as smooth as i would have though.)
unfortunately, I'm still not sure how to animate "pose to pose" Like i get the concept, clearly.
but what in gods name buttons do you press to actually do the animation? you glossed over it and idk what you actually did (2:50)
I see the round preset, but i have no clue how to use it on anything, well yet.
anyway, i love valve (free software ftw) and this is so cool, cant wait to release some stuff once i learn more.
NEVER MIND i wasn't paying attention i understand now!
2:41 I selected a new region of time, Posed my character for a second time, however, when selecting Round to begin the movement, My character doesn't move. In fact, Nothing I do moves my character, they just jumpcut to their next pose. Any help?
I got it to work, you must have the whole character selected, at the animation set editor.'
and don't touch the root, it should work
really helps me with cleaning up my animation thanks
how to copy the same pose like 1st pose is standing 2nd is aiming 3rd is aiming so how to copy and paste the second pose to the third pose
this was very useful! now i can do some animation.
