    I have a question, if I want to obtain better performance in the animation process in the Blender viewer, what component of the PC influences this process the most? A CPU with more cores, or a single core but faster? Or is it a faster GPU that has more influence on previewing the animations in the Blender viewer?

    I found the easiest way to switch from Maya to Blender was to change the keyboard map to the Industry Standard layout. I even set the theme to the Maya theme. I felt right at home and I never did switch back to the Blender keyboard layout. I've just kept it at Industry Standard so when I use Unity, Unreal, Quixel Mixer, etc. it's all the same navigation.

    • @BrianKouhi
      @BrianKouhi Před 4 dny

      That's a good bandage, but it comes hard to learn new things in Blender or follow tutorials, since most people are using the default layout and hotkeys. So it's definitely a choice to make.

    • @DonEarl
      @DonEarl Před 3 dny

      @@BrianKouhi I have had no problems following tutorials. When the say press S to scale, I just press R to scale. As long as I know what action they are doing, I can figure out the key to press. Sometimes I watch Maya and 3dsMax tutorials and just translate them into Blender. I have many years of experience with Max and Maya, switching over to Blender with the industry standard key layout was a piece of cake.

    I truly do appreciate this video. As someone who is still figuring out my career path, seeing the dirty truth in each industry is extremely helpful. I love art, animation, and everything in between but the whole 12 hours a day for average pay is a pretty big downside in my book. Also from what I’ve heard its a very unstable industry where consistent job opportunities is almost impossible.

    • @BrianKouhi
      @BrianKouhi Před 6 dny

      You can't transfer files between Maya and Blender (for the most part). Unless you're saving your assets as OBJ or FBX. But rigs are incompatible between the two software. I'm not sure about changing the unit, the best way to find out is to test it out :)

    Quick question about this function, as I haven't found any answers on this, can you add already existing Child Of Constraints (ones made before the addon was installed) to the Dynamic Parent , or do you have to create them again from scratch?

  • @shamgartruth1449

    This is an outstanding tutorial and right on time. I’m animating my first custom character in BforArtists. Though this is a blender tutorial , I have enough experience to transfer the lesson to BforArtists. Since BforArtists a fork of blender with a icon driven and mouse driven interface. Plus, many more to blender doesn’t have. So this tutorial is right on time.

      Select all the bones, hold down the "." key, and select "individual origins" as your pivot point instead of the default "Median Point." Each bone will now rotate on its own axis simultaneously.

    • @derekw8039
      @derekw8039 Před 17 hodinami

      You can also, after tapping "R," tap the "X," "Y," or "Z" key twice to make the bones rotate on their local axes instead of the global X, Y, or Z axis.

      It's not the model that it's saving the movements of it's the rig's. You need to be using a Blender rig. So if you take a game character model and rig it in Blender, then you'll be able to do this.

    Now i am animating in Maya for a project. It is really really a pain for me. Simple things are problem. Timeline, mirroring poses, copy-paste poses and copy paste keys (no copy paste poses in maya by the way), the workflow, the selecting things, all those simple things are big problems for me. I really surprise how do you compare maya and blender in animation point. How do maya animators work easily in maya.... Blender is much much more comfortable for sure... And now maya crashed and no recovery file at the certain folders... :((((((((

    Working with Max just in the personality walk chapter, I still can't get past 10fps. But this seems to be a Blender problem since I get real-time playback in Maya on heavy rigs and my hardware specs are overkill (plus, it isn't like you can lighten that scene any further). It's just frustrating because the Foundation won't address it and hardly anyone mentions it because there's only a handful of professional animators doing production-level work in the software.
