As always, the quality of the explanations is just the best. I can't even describe how perfect the pacing and the video demonstrations are, well done!
@@iHeartGameDev It definitely is, thanks to the animations you keep the viewers engadged while also providing aditional informations on the presented topic
Seriously dude, probably some of the best unity tutorials. The fact that you go over EVERYTHING makes this more like a lecture than a regular tutorial
I watched all of your tutorials from start to finish ... this step my step really helped me and the best tutorial out there for the unity animation system!
Such a well explained video!! Thanks for it Nicky!
Can't thank you enough for the tutorials, man.
There aren't enough advanced, concise, and digestible animation tutorials for Unity, and you help fill in that gap.
Just started watching these recently, and I gotta say - these videos are PHENOMENAL!! Thank you so much for all your hard work 💜
This channel needs more visibility because it's a real gem on youtube!
I didn’t even bother with layers in my project and avoided them because I didn’t want to get into it too deep. You made it a lot easier to grasp. Those equations in the beginning were incredibly useful. Thank you.
You explained things in this video I've never heard of before - and I've watched a lot videos on Unity Animation. Awesome stufff! Thank you so much!
Man this type of explanation is top tier, you should honestly think about putting a paid course together. I'd pay for it.
This tutorial series has been invaluable to me. Clear instructions with visual examples, concise and sticks to the point of the video instead of being an hour long hard to follow tutorial where the narrator just rambles. Prior to finding these videos my animation setup was unruly and very amateurish. Now the setup is clear and easy to read, professional, and most importantly, bug free. You are saving my game with this series. I'm not an animator, and while my art is good and my coding skills sharpen all the time, using Unity mechanim was a nightmare for me. Thank you for this series.
I love how you show an example of every setting! Keep up the great work!!
The Quality of the Explanation is on such a level. Just based on these videos so far. I was able to fix and produce a great prototype. I would love to show you it~! Thank you for your time and knowledge! Please keep it up!
Wow there is some much complexity, and power, to the Unity animation system and you explained it so well. Very impressive!
Throughout my entire career of learning from tutorials, this is the only channel that not only goes over what each setting does, but also how they can be useful, which in my opinion is just as important as understanding what something does, you just can't have one without the other. Hope it inspires others to do the same :).
Also, HUGE props, must take lots and lots of effort to make these vidoes, but it will help a whole lot of people immensely, and for that you earned my sub despite me never subscribing to anyone really :) It will definitely pay off for both you and others, keep it up man!
Thank you very much for such kind words!
Completely agree with this. Well done!!
You're so underrated Nicky! Thank you so much for sharing this useful knowledge with us all. We cannot wait and we're excited to learn more from the best teacher you are.
Thank you!
Man your tutorials are seriously the best, they are to the point but at a steady pace to follow easily AND I like how you explain WHY we do something and what the goal is before you explain HOW to do the thing. Excellent format! Thank you!
OMG have been looking for ages for smt like this! thank you so much man!
Excellent video. I was looking for this content for a while.
This is a well explained video with over the top production quality.Looking forward to see more video related to animation. Good Work Nicky!!
dude I cant believe when I wanted to make a project about animation heavily stuff I found your videos explaining just the things I need most, you are amazing very muhc appreciated
The additive animation explanation was amazing! I’m having my characters torso aim through IK but that is definitely something I could utilize
I'd love to see a short version of this showing how to do it with the generic setup. Great work as always!
Thank you ! All your videos are very detailed and useful
I'm a huge fan of how clearly you explain things. Thank you!
Nice content. I like how some channels lately have been really focusing hard on particular topics. Not that I want anyone to be pigeon-holed into anything, but the depth that some creators are going with topics like this is fantastic!
If i had the money, i'd fund and implore you to start an in-depth, AAA-level animation course. Very good work.
Thank you Arthur! I really appreciate the kindness!
Exactly the tutorial I was looking for, thank you so much!
Omg, you explained it very simply! It's really easy to understand. Thank you so much! I've always wanted to learn these.
Your teaching style stand above all others. Great job!
Well done Nicky! Awesome video as always :)

Can’t believe that this is the first tutorial that shows the animation features of unity. I’m not sure why no one has covered it till now. Found out about this channel so late.

Great tutorials on a bit more advanced topics. Just what I needed!
Also looking forward to the IK video :)
omg that's a lot of information to take in, I'm gonna have to watch this 10 times at least. Great tutorial.
Heyyyy, man! Been wondering when the next video would be coming on! Good as usual!
This has been an utterly brilliant series. Fantastic presentation and attention to detail. I now know what the Unity animation system is capable of, and what I want to implement. I am doing a 2D humanoid animation but the principles will apply. Thank you @iHeartGameDev.
This is an excellent series. Thanks :)
Bro u killing it with tutorial i love it !!!
Fantastic tutorial mate! you do a great pace and explain everything - I tip my metaphorical hat to you!
Thanks very much Chris!!
very nice explanation dude.
Thank you man for such a tutorial.
Thank you! I was able to make my player walk with a torch when in the darkness super-easy with this method.
Awesome Tutorial. Can't wait for the IK one.
Your work is Brilliant! please Continue I love your content and Video form your Video is so Rare to find. Don't Give up.
Need to repeat viewing this several times. Vaste of essential information.
Amazing! exactly what i wanted , Thank you ❤
Love you bro this is so helpful keep it up.
Keep making tutorials.... really love how you explain things🔥
U gotta make it look so easy, thx bro!
Amazing work!
Very clear video! I would like to see about IK now. Great content :)
Respect !
I needed it and you saved me, thank you so much.
Damn man your smile melts hearts away. Besides you explain things like bread and butter. Cool.
Your tutorials are really excellent. I especially love the pacing... you are including everything even a newbie needs to know, but its not slow at all, and its also not a lightning fast Brackeys style sprint (I love Brackeys but I have to keep shuttling back and forth because its always a DELUGE of info). Keep it up - and maybe considering doing a few scripting tutorials as well, maybe even with downloadable scripts to work along with. I find that scripting examples for Unity tutorials are generally quite hard to come by. Just an idea .... I love what you're doing.
yes, truely best. very clear and percise
very high quality tutorial, keep it up!
Amazing video! Thank you very much for this tutorial!
thanks man. very helpful.
Great Animation Tutorial, Definitely gonna need this when i make some 3D games. 👍 Subbed
Love your channel! I would like to see some tutorial about procedural animation in the future

Hello, thank you very much for this great tutorial, now I clearly understand the need for layers and an avatar mask. You are the best of those who have explained this topic :)

Thanks for the hardwork on behalf of all us game devs, appreciation +100XP!
