  • This is how I animate a breathing idle cycle! It's one form of "keep alive" that can make sure your chartacter is moving for a reason, and not just because you want to add extra motion.

    ^ First video edited for me! Give some props in the comments!
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    In three years, I went from having absolutely no experience in 3D Animation to working at DreamWorks Animation Studios teaching just about all of the 3D software used to make movies! After 2 years there, I left to try freelance / independent content creation on UA-cam for awhile, before I head back to Feature Film!
    This is my journey- the entire process from when I decided I wanted to be an animator until I eventually get there, and everything along the way that will make it possible.
    Whether you're chasing a similar dream, or just interested to see where mine takes me, subscribe to follow along with the incredible journey that it takes to become an animator!
    You will not be disappointed.
    Keep up with the action and connect with me on social!

    Great walk thru, Sir! I'm going to have to re-watch your node manipulation hookups again!
    On the note of scaling bones, I too was never told you should scale bones. And in film, I highly recommend it!
    There is a caveat if you animate the scale on bones for video games. If you let your TD know ahead of time it's usually OK and they can mess with your animation export. Typically game engines, do not like the animated scaling of bones/controllers/joints unless they're built for it. I’d love to hear a TD’s opinion scaling too.

    Hello Sir,
    I really like your way of style to explain the animation.
    I really like this breathing anim to keep alive the character
    but I've a question can you please explain how did you make
    the different styles of linking which can control the IK of chest
    and shoulders Translation in the next video. If it's possible for
    you. If I missed your previous video in which you already explained
    this linking can you please DM me. So I can check it and start work on it. .
    I also send you the mailed you for the previous vlog. Kindly also share
    your precious thoughts on it. I hope you'll reply to me sooner and thanks
    for this video I'll definitely share with you, this breathing style of anim.
    Regards
    Simran Jeet Singh

    5:30 go back.... And you tell me what is happening there...
    It looks like you managed to use nodes to assign the translation to an empty
    Some how that looks way easier than parenting... Having a object represented by a node so you can actually see what's happening and simply click and drag the translation to another object node
    YOU GO BACK AND TEACH ME RIGHT NOW

    • @ChesterSampson
      @ChesterSampson 4 роки тому +2

      Quick explanation - he has unlocked the translation channels on the clav controls then linked those translations to locators in the node editor. You can achieve the same thing by using a ‘point constraint’ which just affects translation channels (not rotate and scale). Hope that helps

    Hey there, keep up the great work.
    I found out about you about two weeks ago and I am starting to watch more and more videos.
    I am learning to animate after I programmed for over 10 years now. So it's quite a change. Right now I am learning the fundamentals (bouncing ball, rolling ball, squash and stretch, ...).
    It will take some time for me to put my hands on a character but thanks to you there are some I'd like to check out. But since Maya is quite heavy on the money I am using blender right now. Am I right to believe that most of the models/rigs you use/present are incompatible with blender? The Link and the dragon (which name I forgot right now) for example? I don't want to pay some money and realize I can't use the rigs.
    Maybe, just maybe, Maya Indie will be released at some point in Europe...
    Greetings!
