Video

Hey! Yes adding that video to my list. Thanks for your note!

Happy to hear that! Thanks for your note!

Glad to hear that, thanks for your note!

Thank you! I would come up with a cool combination. Think about the style your going for (realism, fantasy, cartoony) and really lean into it. If it's realistic, look at some reference. If it's more animated really exaggerate your action and make it entertaining. Whatever you do go with make the viewer excited to watch it. If you do that, then your action was a success. Hope that helped!

@@alexonstory ight thank you

Thanks for your great note! I'll be back in a bit making new videos :)

Hey! Yes I do have some videos on character animation. czcams.com/video/cdj0YytsHSI/video.htmlsi=LHGGDvcrnuI_awr9 czcams.com/video/p8Bi7k60IS0/video.htmlsi=2H6jOM641tH-Zwuy I'll be making more video's in a bit. Hope that helps!

Thank you, I appreciate your note! Great point! Yes I'll make some videos more about cameras and cinematography. I do have a timelapse of this car action shot and I talk a bit about setting up action and working with exploring camera positions and movement. czcams.com/video/cvEno-_dnBE/video.htmlsi=XT4wQMfATse05gJ_

Thank you, I appreciate your note! I'll be back to posting more soon.

Happy to hear that! Thanks for the note! Overall the set and the background are just done with lighting. I'll make a video in a bit about the setup :)

@@alexonstory will be waiting! Thanks!

Happy to share!

Hey! I was born in Romania, but have lived in Canada for a long time. Are you from Hungary?

@@alexonstory Yes, I'm following you from Hungary and I'm trying to learn the basics of the animation workflow from you. :) I want to make a series of short stories for adults on CZcams, that's how I found you. I would be happy to hear your comments, because I am completely self-taught to learn Blender. It would be a huge miracle if you could even speak Hungarian! :)

That's very cool! You got this, you can do it! I would say make your first very rough episode. Your going to learn a lot. On your second go you'll now have experience as to what worked and didn't work. Plus you'll be in a better position to make your visuals more clear and pleasing. I do speak Romanian, but no I can't speak Hungarian :D

Really nice to hear, thank you for your note! Take your time, baby steps. You'll see some nice improvements in your skill. Just keep at it!

Great question! There are 2 ways to get color to show up in Solid mode. First is vertex color. Second is changing the viewport display of the object, which is what the Blender Studio Rigs have done. Both ways are separate from the textures you see in Shaded or Render mode. I didn't know about changing the viewport display color till you asked the question and I looked into it. I do like the second option. You need to assign a material to your object. In the Material Properties under Viewport Display you can change the color. Hope that helps!

Yes, it's so nice to see these rigs with quality controls. Makes animating easier and more enjoyable :)

There is yes, github.com/tingjoybits/Mesh_Onion_Skins Hope that helps!

Thank you Marko! Happy to hear that! Yes, will take a look at putting a rigging tutorial together. Since I am not a pro rigger it'll take me a bit longer to put that together.

Thanks for asking and letting me know. It's on now!

Thanks :)

Happy to hear that! For sure you can. Simple ideas layered together can produce some really cool things. You got this!

Thank you!

Happy the video is helpful! hehe yes animation is a challenge, but start slow and you'll get it. I did make an intro to Blender Animation that might help you out. czcams.com/video/sM4_rbrQMpo/video.html

It's my pleasure, thanks for your note!

It's my pleasure, thanks for your note!

Thank you! I appreciate that!! Give it a try I do prefer it to Maya, and I use Maya daily.

It's my pleasure, thanks for your note!

@@alexonstory please do more tutorials .. please

@@MegaIshara Yes working on a few things now then will start posting again in a bit!

Awesome! Really happy to hear that! Thanks for your comment :)

Really happy to hear that, thank you! I'm working on some more in-depth tutorials now. Will be back to posting in a bit:)

Hey! Not all Blender rigs have the Cloud Rig side option, some have Rigify. If your using some of the newer Blender Studio rigs then yes they should have it. Try dragging the character file into a fresh scene. That loads things properly. Hope that helps!

@@alexonstory thanks for reply this. i got it in object data property bone collections from there i can hide and unhide ik or fk bones. for ik fk switch i am using copy transformation in bone constraint properties

That's good! Happy to hear that, hope you have all the control over the rig your looking for.

Great point! Yes in Blender there are things we can do like that. 1. In my viewport when in pose mode I make broad updates to my rig. What parts of the rig are off and on. Then "A" to select all and "I" to key everything. This is the thing I do most often. If you want more control of your selection set you can also make your own using Bone Collections. 2. In pose mode under Data Properties, Bone Collections you can add your own selection. You can make multiple selections and add/remove any bone in your collection. Name it and even add that selection as a quick favorite or keyboard shortcut. Hope that helps!

@@alexonstorythank you so much sir. You are just great. If you give me one hour personal class in blender it will be more helpful sir. Sir please don’t mind, I’ll give you the one class tuition fees. Please sir 👏🏻

Thanks! I am working on some more in-depth tutorials now and a coaching program. Those will be coming out in a bit. You can find my email on the channels home page. Write me and we'll take it from there.

@@alexonstorygreat sir 👌

Happy to hear that, thanks for your note!

@@alexonstory Cheers, have a good day and keep up the great work!

:D yay Blender!!

That is a different department. The lighting is real time in Unreal Engine.

Thanks

@@alexonstory i love your way of teaching and the devotion, please do the Unreal tutorial. i'm an unreal beginner as well

Thanks, happy to hear that! Yes I'll be learning Unreal in a bit and will share what I know :)

Thank you! That's what that type of character is called in the short movie. I just added a link to the character in the video description. Blender now allows anyone to download it.

Thank you for such a wonderful comment! I think you and so many others can animate at a high level. It takes a bit of time and some good amount of practice. These bigger projects really do need some many people. So it's nice to contribute in the way that I do. I'll be back to making more videos in a bit :)

:D haha

Hope that part of the video was helpful and clear!

@@alexonstory Oh, sorry, just making a note🙂 very helpful thanks!

:D ❤

Thanks for letting me know. Yes I let that die. I'll remove the link. Working on something else now.

That sounds like a good name for a forest character.

Really happy to hear that! Thanks for your comment :)
