It's a bit of a stretch calling it a "new way of animating" seeing as animation layers is something Maya has had for a few years. However, I'm glad Blender is finally fixing it's animation workflow. This is fantastic news. Nice roundup of the bits n bobs. The other tools look really interesting.

But for me the best is that we'll finally be able to add a key with one touch. I find it really annoying to press "I" and then choose what to key. I never work with Auto key either because I don't want to add keys when just trying to test a pose.

In the conference they just said that pressing "I" will stop calling contextual menu and simply add a key. Did I misunderstood that point? In Maya you can just press S and it will key either all keys or only the selected properties. I'd love to animate more on blender, cause it's smooth, I like the modifiers and navigation controls, and let's be honest, it's free! but Maya is way more easier and straightforward fort animation in my opinion. Also animbot plug-in is crazy good, and I would definitely miss it on blender.

Great video! I am by no means against Blender. I use it on a daily basis in my workflow, -just not for animation... I have to point out though, that none of these features are game changing for animation -for the simple reason that we have literally used all of these for many many years in the industry. The correct message of the video would be that they are finally coming to Blender. Which is amazing! They are either already built into Maya, as plugins, or you simply create your own setups and tools that allow this type of workflow when/if you feel the need to.

@JoshRobertsonArt 5 ай бұрын

The animation layer system in Blender is not a new thing as a whole. Maya has had Animation Layers that does everything you describe for years now. Just so you are aware that this is not a new "inventive" thing that is going to change 3D forever. Blender finally getting it is cool, as well as the new features that just came out in 4.0.

Animation layers, being able to swap between takes, almost all of the features demonstrated already exist.

Essentially any filter can be conceptualized as a black box that allows certain frequencies through while preventing others. A butterworth filter allows all frequencies in the pass band (the frequencies that make it through) to make it through without changing a particular frequency’s contribution to the final output signal. The frequencies above the critical frequency are attenuated (dampened) and not allowed to pass through

I think the "true" new way of animating would be an in-viewport curve editing tool where you could essentially make changes to keyframe positioning and curvature in 3D view. Imagine the existing "Motions Path" tool that enables us to see a bones path except you can select keyframes in the viewport, move it around, scale and rotate it to alter curvature and pacing. I've always wanted something like this and I believe this would make animating so much easier but I haven't been able to find anything that functions somewhat well. If blender could introduce such a tool as a built-in feature that would be a game changer!

2:30 That literally never happens. You have complete control over what curves you want to work with and if I saw an animator working with curves like that I'd question their sanity. If you need to scale or move that many keys you'd do it in the dopesheet. Also layers are not new to animation, they've been in Maya and Max for years and years. Blender is playing catch up. I wish they would spend more time improving their constraints.

Regarding bones and the related stuff like IK, rigging, etc... Blender should take a playbook from DAZ Studio. Blender slowly has with things like auto-IK and asset/pose library... but I dare say it is MUCH easier to start and prototype an animation in DAZ versus Blender. DAZ pretty much forgoes rigging and has an interesting auto IK implementation & tools to give you a passable starting animation/pose. Another tool Blender I wish it had from DAZ is called Puppeteer - which is mouse controlled animation over a graph of poses.

Daz studio does not even have a proper IK/FK foot/floor contact solver Daz depends entirely on canned mocap sold in the daz store. try hand animating a Daz character simply squatting low to pick up an object from the ground and keeping his feet solidly planted.

Awesome update to blender! Do wanna mention tho that procedural animation layering has been around in Houdini for a few years now but still awesome to see blender get it and I’m sure it will be 100x better than the NLA workflow which I’ve never been a fan of really

I don't do animations, so I don't know why this came up in my recommended list. And, I don't even know why I clicked on it but I'm glad that I did. I loved this video and your enthusiasm. And, as a software developer I learned a lot about UI/UX development. Thank you for such a wonderful video!!!

NLA is the most complicated workflow. Your presentation of NLA actually made it easier for beginner to understand. Nicely done. But man, now that I get used to it, I kinda want it to stay lol

I hope they will add some kind of a new autorig system too. The built-in one doesn't really apply weights all that well, and while there are addons that can help, the ones that work well are paid. Ideally you'd just place bones within the model and either select vertices each bone would affect (with vertex groups) or let Blender guess it, but in a more smart way so that an arm bone wouldn't move part of the torso just because torso was too close to the arm bone. Then the Blender would select appropriate weights based on distance from the bone.

Sounds a bit like the Macromedia Flash timeline, where objects (on the timeline) can have their own (internal) timeline and objects within it also have their own (internal) timeline as well. What I liked a lot about The Macromedia system was the fact that every object can loop their timeline or be ActionScript (JS) controlled (Python in Blender's case), while their parents can have a completely different motion (keyframes/graph) or script control (Python) -- but this time, in Blender 3D.
