God i feel stupid.. i just noticed (thanks to someone pointing it out) 360° = 6.something radiants (2pi, or "tau") I had no idea what i was doing in that part, or in editing, explaining that Its been a while since i last had math class...
I explained the math behind the modifier wrong. If someone wants to use it for other cases, it wont work - so i explained it in the comment and pinned it, so its more visible
Am having problems with the skin,at the start the skin I a little diferent some of the parts of the skin a daunloded look a little different ,where did you downloaded your skin?
I used an old skin layout. Yours will look square But that doesnt change the fact that you need to line up the UVs to the bodyparts of the mesh. Same process
Nice video and thanks for recommending my rig! Just a small suggestion. For hair you can turn on the "hair collection" and use the first mesh above the head to extrude the hair (delete the transparent faces first), then translate them down on the z axes (z 2.8 is the correct value). On the head mesh below you can then change the uvs so that it will only display the skin if you already have an extruded mesh of the hair. I hope it helps!
Ah, i'm just now seeing this Wasn't aware of that, but I'm pinning the comment, so it's more visible I recommended the rig, because it proved to be great - It was my main character rig/model for a cover song I did for PewDiePie's "Mine All Day", so your rig got a bit of marketing there as well :)
@@SharpWind totally agree, i was looking into almost all the popular rigs outhere and by far i think the Thomas rig is the best one of all rigs that i saw on UA-cam videos, well at least from my humble perspective
I will say for anyone looking for minecraft rigs for blender there's many that already exist with their own ups and downs. Thomas's rig is nice, BPS's rig is simple, I've even released a rig (though not as clean does have more features than most) but even then there's so many, But also I do understand the idea of wanting a tutorial as when I started I couldn't do anything and didn't understand half of what I know now and I still have a lot to learn mostly for non mc rigs.
@@SharpWind This does seem to be the issue. It seems doesn't know how to bend if it has a pole target but the bones are also perfectly straight; having tested it.
But i've changed the angle of the bones during the troubleshooting and got the same result While the elbow rig i made a day prior worked while being completely straight 🤔
37:23 ngl, when I was still a noobie beginner in blender testing out minecraft animations in blender. It would always look very weird to me that every time I’d move the mouth the textures scale with it, but I did enjoy the rig pretty much just the mouth kept me off.
I personally love it, because it looks more realistic (since it displaces the skin, like in real life) but it sounds like you prefer the alpha glitch technique more - perhaps there's a way to recreate it in blender 🤔
@@SharpWind there is a way and it's basically using a uv warp modifier. basically this modifier allows you to control or warp a texture using another object. a common technique is to have an empty as the uv warp target and move it around until the texture fits and then parent that to the rig to keep it in place this will keep the texture looking the same at all times while allowing mesh deformations. or this is just 1 way I did it there could be others.
Good job! I missed the old days when you made Minecraft videos. This video made me know not leave your channel, because it will grow as you go. I love ALL your content. Keep dreaming about your future and it'll eventually lead you to success.
I think you should make a tutorial about how to make VFX effects in blender. Similar to your mine-imator video you made a while ago. You should include effects like fire effects, particles, Sci-Fi blaster, lightning, Minecraft enchantments (Advanced enchantments) and whatever you think we should know. I love your videos and keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the next video. Stay Sharp.
Could you possibly make a tutorial on how to properly make and use special effects. Such as explosions, fire, anything magic, even just leaving scratches or footprints on the ground. I would really like to know how to make these in blender
Oh, my God. Just so you understand, I'm from Ukraine and I don't speak English. I know very little, some small phrases I can understand, but not a whole sentence. And I am now using a translator to translate the subtitles and write this commentary. I have long dreamed of learning to animate Minecraft, but because of not knowing the language I was afraid to start. Now I'm ready to spend hours translating and learning! (Sorry if there are mistakes in the text)
Can you show us your standard procedure when doing a simple blender animation, like how do you setup stuff, how do you clean up, and how is your animation process, maybe you can animate a running cycle with something
i did some of that in the previous video - basically explaining the process (how to keyframe, setup the scene, lights, etc.) it's basically that, but scaled up
@@SharpWind I see, I will definitely check it out, also, just want to say, so happy to see you still making content, let alone different contents, you are underrated
I figured if I wanna bring SYSTM and collabs back, I gotta get my audience on the same level, or else I'll be looking at Mine Imator submissions for the rest of my life :P
@@SharpWind yeah man, even though Mine imator is the greatest most amazing animation software in existence, at some point, we gotta branch out to more complex stuff. Keep on creating sharp, I myself am trying to move on from mine imator, but I'm in a very toxic relationship with it :()
9:26 whenever i unwrap it the dimensions are always slightly off and dont fit on the skin properly edit: nevermind i was able to fix it by snapping the faces to the pixels
You can actually get around issue with the 120 degree on the leg bend by having the second shape key's "Relative To" field set to the "Leg Bend" shape key as opposed to the "Basis". The only thing is I'm not sure how to set up the driver to make it activate the 2nd shape key after the 90 degree mark.
Thats actually a good piece of advice, didn't know that was a thing Im sure you can find an operation to just offset the effect to start at 90°, thats the least concerning Thanks!
The stretching I think is because you did cube projection selection in unwarp menu, I've never seen it and I have not done the projection unwraps. 10:00 The vertex snapping links to vertex f the uv, there is a setting to snap to pixels somewhere, I don't remember where off the tp of my head, to snap to the image.
Cube projection should work if the scale is applied - the uvs got stretched when i applied the texture. I think its the 1x0.5 uv scale that stretched it
The IK issue is probably cus u did not bend the leg bones. If the leg bones go verttically down, ppl say that it wont work. Last time I has this issue too when rigging The Figure.
Pls make a tutorial on how to make vehicle , items and then put it into blender minecraft for example gun ,cars ,instrument and more! . pls make tutorial about this
This is what a private video shoot looks like. And we know what pitfalls await us, unlike the video "Do it and it's done", but it's not clear how to work further yourself
The reason the IK leg didn't work is because the chain was completely straight, so the inverse kinematics basically didn't have a direction to bend towards, causing it to not bend at all.
Thats my own skin If you're referring to the red shirt steve, that comes with the thomas rig Steve skin i used for the tutorial part was the steve skin found in minecraft files (or you can get it online)
rendering tips? i mean like can you explain how to like do natural lighting and all like you made a tutorial on rim lights in MI but blender this time 😁😁
1. You need to be in edit mode (press tab) 2. You either need to link selection (the 2 arrows icon in the top left of the UV editor), or you need to select your model and it will only show the vertices/edges/faces you have selected I recommend linking the selection tho
Lol, misread. Generally, the animation process is pretty simple - make keyframes for bodyparts at individual timestamps. I have plenty of tutorial on animation itself (movements and physics), and although they are made in Mine Imator, they translate really well to Blender Perhaps step #1 wouls be to take a look at those, it's a really similar process
Either select all the faces, so they appear on the UV editor Or click on the double-arrow icon on the top left in the UV editor - that will link tge selection between the mesh and UVs, hence it will display all the faces
Mixamo gives you baked motiom tracking data, meaning a keyframe every frame I suggest the best way to edit it is by turning on soft select and editing the graph Its hard to add actual movements and stuff to it though, because it's already baked
can you make a video about texture painting a Minecraft dude or did you already do that because honestly this is only the first video I watched for your channel
Hi, great video! I got one question. When i go to extrude like you did with the arm to make the sleave extrude, it creates a bevel effect inward. It's almost like theres a setting making sure the lines stay smooth and auto curves it inward when i add the second layer of faces. This is probably confusing lol. I understand that the sleeves bevel out and i can reset there axis to 0, but this bevel occurs where the sleeve meets the hand if that makes sense. Would you know the fix for this?
There'a a bevel modifier on all the geo, i believe To stop this, you could assign those edges a vertex group, put the bevel modifier's "limit method" to "vertex group", select your vertex group, and click the arrow icons to invert it - so those edges wont be affected by the modifier
Heyy! I like this video, it really helped me tbh :D but I have an issue in it. In 21:59 your marking the weights or smth with constant brush. Buuuut for some reason, I dont have it like that :/ how can I describe it- I cannot freely mark the places like you could. Only the sidedges. So it doesnt move like yours. It looks blurry and its more like a rainbow than the specific red. Please help me :´) Im trying to fix it now 2 days and its just not working. If you dont understand what I mean by those then, I can send you a video on insta if you have one, or just somewhere just to show you. I even subbed you :´) please help, if you have some time
In weight paint mode, you can only paint on the vertices, which are on the edges (each vertex is assigned a weight) - zhe rainbow appears between 2 vertices, as the weight transitions from 1 (red) to 0 (blue) I also have a little rainbow between the vertices, thats fine - as long as the vertices themselves are red. I was able to paint consistently, because i was painting directly on the vertices. The brush is normally soft on the edges, and it paints green and yellow (values between 0 and 1), and the constant falloff makes the edge of the brush hard, so it only paints values of 1 or nothing at all I hope this helps
@@SharpWind Thanks for explaining. I understand what you said here, but thats not what I mean at all. You, had there a bright red, less green and blue. I dont have it like that. I know its supposed to look, like a rainbow but mine really LOOKS like a rainbow. And when I press G to move with that part to see, if it works correctly, it doesnt. I only stretch that part. It doesnt move that smoothly. You can imagine it like a bugged NPC in some game or, whatever. The thing is, it doesnt work. I did everything like you in the video, but no succes. Also, you can imagine my rainbow as just a shadow on smth. From the top (red) to the bottom (blue) and between it is green that is shading with those two. Can you tell me what am I supposed to do pls?
@@SharpWind nah there are some neat effects you can make with planes and nodes that I don't really see people do much of cuz they're mostly NPR. But there's also geometry nodes you could tap into if you know how they work. Then when 3.5 comes out there's like particle geometry nodes or something.
@@SephticMI oh trust me, I know. The particle method can be a little bit limiting and taxing if you're using cycles (because of the transmission bounces required to render transparent planes, if you're using many. if you're using less, you're basically relying on animated textures, which is just work done in a different software - the math for doing it with nodes can be hell tho) Geo nodes are amazing, i love them, they make everything easier, procedural and flexible, and the 3.5 update has me excited every time i see anything about the latest Blender conference. It keeps getting better!
Thanks for the Tutor! It's a nice introduction to intimidating blender UI (figures). I want to ask something, (may a bit rude, sorry in advance) as someone who suffer with blender render time, how much impact would be on my performance, if my Pc/Laptop are under-minimal requirement? (especially CPU & GPU)
Depends entirely on your hardware. Laptops are known to perform worse, but thanks to Cycles's optimizations in update 3.0 and the AI denoising, which requires you to render less samples, it should be much faster
For my "worst animation project ever", i was using Maya and had the old PC (intel core i7, gtx970, 8gb ram), took me 6min per frame (arnold renderer is slower and i couldnt use denoising bc it didnt work for some reason) The image for this thumbnail was made in blender on my "new" pc (RTX3060, AMD ryzen 5x-5600, 16gb ram) + denoising, i got a pretty good result in 5 seconds, but i decided to render 1024 samples, so it took around 12 seconds for the whole thing Blender is good :)
The bones are already in the rig - they're using a custom display, thats all the lines around it If you want to add additional bones, to control other parts of the rig, you wish to add in the future, you'd do so like any other regular rig, by hopping into edit mode and adding bones from there
I'm not seeing a lot of what you see in edit mode and also I have no clue what I did but now my extrudes are like bending or rounding when I extrude and they weren't before and I'm so lost XD
@SharpWind I'm trying to rig an Endersent model (from Minecraft Dungeons) and have a question. Each shape is its own part and won't be bending. Would I set up the armature in a similar way to a player model but without the loop cuts? I also forgot where the weight paint option is.
God i feel stupid.. i just noticed (thanks to someone pointing it out)
360° = 6.something radiants (2pi, or "tau")
I had no idea what i was doing in that part, or in editing, explaining that
Its been a while since i last had math class...
What is this part for?
I explained the math behind the modifier wrong.
If someone wants to use it for other cases, it wont work - so i explained it in the comment and pinned it, so its more visible

@@SharpWind nah there are some neat effects you can make with planes and nodes that I don't really see people do much of cuz they're mostly NPR. But there's also geometry nodes you could tap into if you know how they work. Then when 3.5 comes out there's like particle geometry nodes or something.
@@SephticMI oh trust me, I know. The particle method can be a little bit limiting and taxing if you're using cycles (because of the transmission bounces required to render transparent planes, if you're using many. if you're using less, you're basically relying on animated textures, which is just work done in a different software - the math for doing it with nodes can be hell tho)
Geo nodes are amazing, i love them, they make everything easier, procedural and flexible, and the 3.5 update has me excited every time i see anything about the latest Blender conference. It keeps getting better!
So long but still having problem
with your mic
How to make VFX or power effect I seen in a lot minecraft animation? can you make video for it?
love ya
By the way sharp for ik to work the leg should be slightly Bent. But good video overall
If it still doesn't work that is a stubborn bone
Someone else commented, i tried that during the troubleshoot, same result
Thanks, it worked for me
How to make blood effects
Now how to make lighting like in cinema 4d
YOOOOOO
You beard grown to much XD Jknskwjkw i cant wait to see more tutorial on blender
I love the fact that someone noticed lmao
I did movember, this was just after shaving it
@@SharpWind ah i see also it is very noticeable but people probably are more focus on the tutorial while i just notice on-
This was a great tutorial though oneday i probably checked out blender if i get a buffy pc
here's the neat part - blender is pretty optimized, so it works on weaker PCs :)
here's the thing, Blender has been doing a lot of optimization, so it runs pretty smooth
you might want to give it another go
Thanks for the Tutor! It's a nice introduction to intimidating blender UI (figures). I want to ask something, (may a bit rude, sorry in advance)
as someone who suffer with blender render time, how much impact would be on my performance, if my Pc/Laptop are under-minimal requirement? (especially CPU & GPU)
Depends entirely on your hardware. Laptops are known to perform worse, but thanks to Cycles's optimizations in update 3.0 and the AI denoising, which requires you to render less samples, it should be much faster
@@SharpWind When you done the "unpleasant" project, what's your CPU and GPU had, and how much your estimated time render, if you don't mind answering?
For my "worst animation project ever", i was using Maya and had the old PC (intel core i7, gtx970, 8gb ram), took me 6min per frame (arnold renderer is slower and i couldnt use denoising bc it didnt work for some reason)
The image for this thumbnail was made in blender on my "new" pc (RTX3060, AMD ryzen 5x-5600, 16gb ram) + denoising, i got a pretty good result in 5 seconds, but i decided to render 1024 samples, so it took around 12 seconds for the whole thing
Blender is good :)
@@SharpWind okay, thanks for your answer! I've captured the gist of the 'minimal' requirement of blender.
Well using the thomas pack doesn't appear to have the same options shown in the video
suggestion : make a nanotech iron man traansformation toturial
How can I add bones in Thomas rig?
The bones are already in the rig - they're using a custom display, thats all the lines around it
If you want to add additional bones, to control other parts of the rig, you wish to add in the future, you'd do so like any other regular rig, by hopping into edit mode and adding bones from there
@@SharpWind I using the female one and I’ve got a layer on the torso, it isn’t matching how do I fix it?
In the UV editor
HELL YES !!
WHY YOU ARE NOT USEING MPCPREP ???????????????????????????
I'm not seeing a lot of what you see in edit mode and also I have no clue what I did but now my extrudes are like bending or rounding when I extrude and they weren't before and I'm so lost XD
why is the face a solid color?
@SharpWind I'm trying to rig an Endersent model (from Minecraft Dungeons) and have a question. Each shape is its own part and won't be bending. Would I set up the armature in a similar way to a player model but without the loop cuts? I also forgot where the weight paint option is.
Thats right
Weigh paint is in the top left corner or press Ctrl + Tab to open the pie chart
@@SharpWind Ok, thanks so much.
Hey SharpWind Is There Anyway You Can Show Me How To Port Blender Models Into Mine-Imator Or ModelBench
in the template how to remove the mouth and eyes, for a character that does not have eyes
I guess you could just fully close them amd relete the eyebrows? Idk
Havent really thought about that
so the mcprep addon skips the whole modeling, uv editing parts of it, rigging, and shading part
Where did you find the reference photo? I think the one I pick was super blurry
I got it from the minecraft folder
But the issue is almost certainly in the image interpolation mode, which i also mention in the video
I encountered a problem, after painting the right leg, the bendable part cannot bend 90 degrees. Maximum 45 and then it curls up. Pls help T-T
We need more videos
