3D animation is alot more like 2D animation than people believe. You need to do most of the frames yourself and let the pc handle some of the afterthought instead.

Please don't get tired of making these videos. They help alot. Thank you.

As a shortcut for progressive spacing, in Blender if you select a keyframe and press T, you can select interpolation type to an easing (by strength) option. These affect the strength of the easing bias, and you can change the ease in/out type with Ctrl+E. While you may still need to set keyframes/change curves manually for a more specific ease (or if you need better arcs), this can help speed up your work if you just need it to be less even.

Really cool explanation buddy!

I don't ever comment on videos but this is by far the best one I have seen on this subject and its just 6 minutes long! Especially for someone who is learning on their own (saving up for AM at the moment 😄) Thanks a lot for showing the examples too - great to get a feel for your workflow. A while ago I was chatting to an Animation Mentor student and he said that his mentor told him not to "overdo" blocking and blocking plus, I didn't really understand what they meant by that until I saw this video, when there isn't much happening in terms of mechanics such as at the very start you literally have 40 frames between two poses and that's all you need for blocking, prior to watching this I would of gone and put that entire section onto 3s if I was animating something similar thinking it was necessary and then the dreaded jittery animation would ensue after splining resulting in me deleting a bunch of keyframes which sort of defeats the entire purpose... Of course, it worked for the faster portions of an animation were you need to have that extra information, but for things such as holding a pose (especially if its stylised) sometimes its okay to just have a bit of space between two poses, helps to flesh things out and as you mentioned you can make long holds more organic when it comes to splining everything out! I think overall it comes down to balance, I know some people like to do some blocking in stepped, go to spline to see how its going then continue with their blocking in stepped if they feel more breakdowns are needed. Anyway, enough rambling from me, thanks a bunch not only for this video but for all the valuable information you give us on your channel!

Bro please make more of these!!! you have no idea how helpful this was. The way you explained everything and showed examples help a lot !!

That's a really useful video !! Thx for making these wonderful Videos to help the animators That's really Cool dude ! Keep it up 👏

Looks like I'm gonna be animating good today thank you king

I can't explain how helpful this was

"For those of you who animate strait in spline, you're a psychopath." *Nervous laugh

Thanks 😊❤️

cool .thanks

Its Amazing. Thanks so much for the most important information. I really love your videos. We really appreciate it. Thanks Chester.

Cheers Chester, another great vid!

I believe this is also called a Lerp, or easing in and out in old animation terminology.

nice vid dude! ty 👏

Great Video!

Love the Owen comment 😂 sick vid. Need to get back into my channel

That's my secret, cap. I always block in spline.

✅✅✅

Hey Siri unsubscribe from Chester Sampson

I'm trying this blocking method for the first time, when I spline it all the limbs of the rig go crazy. I checked and nothing is over rotated and I know its not a problem with the rig. Do I just need more poses?

Can you please make a tutorial on how you use A tools in you animation pipeline as i see you use that rather than the expensive animbot.

whats the difference between ease and tween tool? whenever i use it, i feel like they function the same

Does anyone know what the tool is called that he used in the video? The one with the dots, it automatically makes easy ins and easy outs, or somn like that. Is it available in Maya 2019? So many questions! Hahaha.

I'm the psychopath 💀

Are you using a plugin?? Or which menu/tool are you using??

Hello where do you find the reference ? thank you
