Me: watches a 25 minute animation tutorial Pixar: **sweats nervously**

Here’s a REALLY good tip for people who have confidence issues when animating: Straight up, just make a rough animation. Don’t look at it too much, don’t do a lot of correcting… just animate something that might look a bit sloppy. THEN critique it! And if you really don’t like the sloppy look… just take a break, go get your mind on something else entirely, then come back and fix it once you can review it with an open mind/clear headspace.

For those that can't move the character's feet like in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="243">4:03</a> , try clicking the animation mode on top since you are likely in Layout mode.

Bro, this is fantastic. Coming from a traditional animation background I feel like within 25 minutes I really grasped the workflow used in this software. You are also very good at teaching. Concise and enthusiastic. 10/10

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="148">2:28</a> is where he actually gets started

Bro the amount of time and hardwork you put in this video is appreciable. Thank you for your masterpiece tutorials.

Woah, I'm surprised I was able to just figure out a lot of this on my own through experimentation, once I'd learned the basic controls of creating keyframes and the auto keyframe setting. Thanks for this in-depth video, the graph is really daunting at first so breaking it down like this is great! Plus, blocking looks WAY easier than just letting it do it's interpolation and then feeling out where a tween keyframe should go between key poses and then adding it in, hoping the interpolation won't screw it up.

Make a character creation series!

Very teaching ! Thanks !

Thats what this community needs, just straight to the point simple directions tutorial, after if I wanna learn how they invented the wheel I do my own research. It should allow me to make something out of the bat so I can get excited about learning more. Great video!

I will say between Maya and blender, animation is very similar in both programs with some options just labeled differently and different interface tools. Blender is a great tool to use for practicing animation especially on a budget

My friend: Wow, how are you so good at this? Me: Do you have 25 minutes?

Great that you are using the new version of my screen cast keys addon now;-) (BTW you can define an offset so that it isn't hidden by the timeline header). Any feature-wishes?

i cant even add in the character

This video course is such a blessing. Thanks for making this... Please, kindly make more of such video course.

Pixar: *years of Academy Training wasted*

I expected blender to be harder but honestly blender is kind of easy not saying everything is but I really love the blender community for making this free and not making this really hard for us thank god blender was created xdd

The way you explain it makes it seem so much easier than I expected!

Just now starting the animation process, best explanation yet. ! Thanks so much.

The "paste pose flipped" feature, is awesome I didnt know that one!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1508">25:08</a> This is the part where the Grubhub advertisers learned how to animate.

I have been looking at new ideas for my youtube channel, and I think your tutorials are top notch to help content creators hit that next level. Thanks for all you do!

him: * explaining what to do * me: dying

everyone after this: i am a master

Ok, all kidding aside, this is a great tutorial! You even got the 12 principles of animation in. I did not expect to see that in 25 minutes of CG animaton.

wow this looks amazing. cant wait to get to this level. gonna take my time getting there tho. still need to learn alot of the stuff just after the basics.

CG Geek is the best, CG Geek is not only a good mentor but also an amazing inspiration. I have been teaching computer graphics, especially 3D modeling, and animation for the last 20 years, but CG Geek inspired me to create my own youtube channel about 3D modeling and Animation and doing something unique to help the community. Currently, I am enjoying watching my channel growing and I am loving this process of teaching and learning. Respect to the best CG Geek.

Handy tip if you want to practice multiple rain animations but don't want to save a 25 mb copy of the file each time: use the Dope Sheet's Action Editor to make multiple animations. 1. Select 'Action Editor' from dropdown next to Editor selector - should have 'Dope Sheet' currently selected before you change it. 2. You can now see the name of your animation along the title bar for this viewport, probably something like Rig-rainAction.001. Change it to something more meaningful if you want. Then click on the shield icon to 'save' it - blender will keep this animation even if it doesn't have any users. 3. Click 'New Action' button (two papers overlapping) next to the shield to make a new action. Give it a sensible name to continue good practice and making your files usable by future you.

Best spent 25 minutes of my day!! very well explained and even when i know nothing about animation , it feels like i should be able to get something moving!!! thanks for taking the time to put this vid together!

You're such a great person for sharing this. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!

I don’t know about you, but every time I start something on Blender, I must salute to the cube I have to delete. So long cube. I’ll (never) miss you.

Wow. You make this look simple. Reminds me of how the Avatar animators had to study martial arts in order to create some of the most realistic animations in cartoon history! Thank you for this demonstration!

Just starting to learn about animations. Awesome instructional video!! Thanks!

Thanks, Mate! this helped a lot!

do a collab with corridor crew

Perfect timing, just down loaded Rain last week and was really straggling to make it work well. My wish was for someone to do an video on how to use it. Then I saw your tutorial 😃😃 thanks heaps

the tutorial is great and the man baby I see in the corner is what makes the tutorial even better

your the greatest blender artist I've seen so far on youtube ❤

This is exactly what I've been looking for the last few months.. A simple less than a half an hour of how to do keyframe animation.. Thanks you just saved a valuable time of mine..

CG geeks: Today I'm gonna show you a 20 - 30 minute long animation tutorial! Pixar: 👀

Nice !! Congratulations !

dude, you are so pro. I was actually looking for unreal engine animation, but I still learned a lot of amazing concepts here that I can use on unreal. thanks.

Damit, nobody will be able to top that spiderman butt.

Thanks, this is just what I needed to start getting an idea of what’s involved in character animation!

Him: so here is the Kee frames and we have our first animation Me with no experience at all: IT'S THAT EASY!!!

I like using Mixamo for my animation projects. I finally figured out how to edit them mocap animations to what I desire them to perform out on Blender. I done a Dragon Punch animation a little while back. It was fun. Dope tutorial bro love the flip.

Thank you, I learned so much

Added this to my "how to blender"-playlist 😂, you explained so much SO good!

IM NOT READY FOR ALL THIS

Very good tutorial for animators who need the basics of blender, not in "animation". Thank you so much !!

Thanks you I didn't understand anything in other videos, but your video made me understand nicely.

For a more natural body movement, i would suggest using the elbows and knees as the manipulation points, rather than the feet and hands as these always move first in any limb movement or action cycle.

Love the vid. Nice voice to listen to. Good balance of talent, humility, instruction, fun and pacing. One note, relax a little on your delivery, a 30 min or hour long video won't be for everybody but usually if it is over 15-20 minutes the audience expects more of a presentation style of rhetoric over the TikTok, flashy, ADHD shorts. Also you can throw in more sponsor breaks like old school 30 min TV show breaks.

Thank you. Finally someone can explain animation in a way that's not rocket science.

could you also make a video on how to make such characters....like the modelling,sculpting and texturing

this is the best animation tutorial Ive ever seen!, Im more a modelling, texturing kind of guy and thaat was very interesting, thanks a lot

I really really appreciate you teaching us. Very easy to understand. Thank you so much.

Woah, great video mate!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="240">4:00</a> if you can't grab the foot, hit Ctrl+Tab to get into pose mode - the lines should be green, not orange.

Not me watching this when I don’t have a computer 😂

Great tutorial as always 👍

Great tutorial!

and thist intro, I LOVE IT

Thank you now I have a basic understanding on how to animate :D

This the video ive been looking for

THANK YOU FOR THE SCREEN CAST ACTUAL LEGEND

I think he’s so good at animating that he animated himself for the face cam

I’m maybe thinking about starting Blender sometime soon! This could maybe help me get started with some animations skills!

Thank you! I have never made ANYTHING in blender and this I amazing! I was able to understand everything super easily! thank you so much!!

Fantastic tutorial! Inspiring!

The video that I wanted for long

The say animated characters move in a way that reflects the personality of the animator. Yep, I can see that. A concise and entertaining breakdown of the editors and key-framing method. The one thing I'll point out that is that you said the interpolation was by default "linear curves" when Linear and Curves are two different interpolations. The bezier curve interpolation is not linear. Now you can send her skipping through a Bob Ross forest, where she meets a tireless woodchopper.

thank you so much sir

The best tutorial I’ve ever learned in my history of learning

Can't do animation but its fun to watch, how its done,

Thanks for this really useful video, lots of tips I will apply to my own future models.

This guy is amazing.

That was awesome. Thanks for making this video.

Wow just wanted to do this. This timing is perfect! Thank you!

As one of the 20% who's subscribed i would love to see character creatiom

this video from many moons ago is about to help me do something proper daft. thank you kind stranger for let a madman like gain the information required to embark on a journey of extreme ambition with a budget of less than n othing

your the best animator in the world

Hey CG Geek, been watching your videos a while now. Im an artist and currently working on a stop motion short. Any recommendations on set extension techniques using blender, to add depth to a real set. Thanks

I'm trying to get bones to move whilst all connected to each other but when I try and move them they all seperate out! Help!

I subscribed! I've learnt so much from you

Thank you so much for all the hard work you put on me

how do you get that into a scene you've been working on? export out and import in? which option do we export in? i tried fbx and she was missing skin, and the rig was huge and overpowering all in the scene.

Oh, this is the best tutorial regarding animation I have ever seen. Thank you very much for your work and effort you have put into this video to transmit all information very clearly (at least for me), going not too slow but also not too fast, and exactly explain what you are doing and why you are doing it. Just subscribed last week. May I leave a question here? I hope, I can :-) In terms of using Blender, I am at the very beginning. But I am motivated to create a short animation scene (about 4 minutes long), supported by a music track which I am going to write by myself. What I want to create with Blender is the following: A scene which takes place in a semi-dark cave, two animated „charakters“ (objects) and an animated camera as well. I want to play with dust, fog and general particle effects as well as „destroying“ things which then will split into different parts and fall on the ground by following natural physics laws. I don’t know how much work this will be but I have a very clear idea in my mind for this „movie“. My question is about how your approach to this idea would look like. Would you start with a very rough model of the „world“ (in this case the cave), followed by modelling the „characters“ and other objects in a very basic way. Then give all objects and camera the animation (block animation first) and at the very end give all objects and the world it’s proper shape and texture? Is that a convenient to that? Would be nice to receive some tips from you.

Very useful bro I like it

waaaaw... amazing really nice motion and explaining

Man, I can't thank you enough for this video. You are breathtaking!

Will you do another CPU performance test like the one you did with the 10th gen intel processors but with the new amd chips?

Without KZfaqrs like this, it would probably take me years to learn the same amount on my own. I learn nearly everything on this app😂

Nice tutorial. . . not only to Blender, but for all softwares is good.

Thanks! I work at Disney now.

Came in deciding on getting MOHO, came out switching to Blender.

I lost this video and had to subscribe and like. It was more like becoming a pro in 5 minutes thanks to your articulate tutorial. Twas hard to dig this up.

This is very well made tutorial! Thank you
