  • This week a quick overview of the Child Of Constraint and how to use it.
    Download the files here: gum.co/GApWI
    While this constraint is amazing when used right, I've seen many shots where this constraint has caused things to break.
    The biggest take away should be the Apply Visual Transforms! This option allows you to place and object.

    Such a massive help considering that Blender constraints don't work properly. Thank you!

      yep, this blender's phenomenon is sucks!

      'this doesnt work properly' - Anyone ever who doesn't know how something works

    Thank you for this! I was able to finish the classic, "character picks up a heavy object" task thanks to this.

    This is everything a tutorial should me. Thanks so much for making this tricky function accessible and in a mercifully brief video. Love it

    Thank you thank you THANK YOU.... OMG I was struggling with this so much until I figured out the order that you do things is so important.... and I neglected to keyframe position at frame 21 before setting influence to 0. This is so useful.

    What a GEM!. This is definitely worth to use with your explanation. I kept away from this constraint for so long, but now I'm picking it back to use it correctly. Thanks!

      Thank you! And use with caution hahah, I've broken this constraint in shots many times. Play around this in a clean shot to really have a good idea of the constraint :)

    Ah man thank you for this! This was killing me. Yet another example of Blender going from amazingly elegant to appallingly overcomplicated. But it is improving by the minute, hopefully this particular arena will be addressed soon.

    @RifferFrog Před 4 lety +2

    Thank you so much for explaining this, it doesn't work as easy as I thought at first that the random offset really annoys me, but now I can finally get this thing under my control!

    • @LevelPixelLevel
      @LevelPixelLevel  Před 4 lety

      Thank you! Yeah, it does take some time. I almost wish this was two constraints, one for each button.

    @PompomYourkey Před 2 lety

    Thank you so much. I’ve been searching for hours trying to find the correct tutorial on how to make a character grab an object and drop it down. I finally found a one that works for me. The others didn’t work for some reason. I probably did something wrong.

    I wish you'd continue this series on constraints. If you actually have, you should update you Blender Constraints Guide Playlist.

      I have not added to this for a while, I was working through some blender rigging nodes and Grease Pencil videos. But! I do have some plans to make more soon! I have one on rotation order coming out soon, then I want to make a two handed sword demo. I'll post them here once I do!

    I would get nowhere without videos like this. I keep wondering if there is an easier way. that's just Blender I suppose, and I'm not about to start learning 3d Max, lol (tried didnt like it)

  • @MacoDeVinx
    @MacoDeVinx Před rokem

    Hey, is there a way to fix the set inverse or would i have to remake it? I tend to forget to do it when it needs doing.
    Would have shown an example but can't send a link to the video.
    What am asking is, from frame 0 to 35 i need the influence to 0 then from 36 to 44 i need the influence on 1 but by putting it on 0 it randomly shifts location. I have tried to follow along as well but still doesn't seem to be in the right location.

  • @zehuagao4012
    @zehuagao4012 Před rokem

    I have obtained a baked animation project, but I would like to add more animations to it. May I cancel the baking for this project? Do I only need to clear all keyframes after the first frame to undo baking? Is this idea correct? I am not very familiar with baking knowledge. I cleaned up all keyframes except for the first frame according to my own ideas and reset the correct constraints. However, when I baked and exported to UE again, the animation only applied the constraints of the first frame, and all frames after the first frame did not apply the constraints I had set, How can I make every frame of the re baked animation constrained?

  • @zurnu74
    @zurnu74 Před 2 lety

    I use Blender 3.1.0 and in this version, if the "Child of" constraint is removed, Blender "forget" the relative position between parent and child, so if a new "Child of" constraint is applied between the same parent and its child, Blender will not apply the previous relative position. That "remember previous relative position" effect could be achieved by reusing the "Target" value of the "Child of" constraint, but not adding a whole new constraint. It's a bit confusing to me that Blender applies a previous relative position between parent and child of a deleted constraint, but maybe: am I misinterpreting the visual result at minute 1:00 of your video?

  • @chiarae4536
    @chiarae4536 Před 7 měsíci

    I have problems exporting animations done with this constraint, it is messing up the animation when I import it to unity. Is there a way to prevent this, or a way to apply the constraint to Keyframes? If there is an addon for this, or a solution please let me know

  • @EDcase1
    @EDcase1 Před 4 lety +1

    Thanks for the video. I've been wondering if Blender could do this.
    Pity its not as straight forward as it should be. (in 3dsMax you just key an object or the world as a parent)

  • @MrShroombot
    @MrShroombot Před 3 lety

    When I continue with keyframing the parent moving to the right, it is affecting the past keyframes of the child and making them jump, even though I keyframed dropping the child off. Help?

    • @MrShroombot
      @MrShroombot Před 3 lety

      Are there any of these steps that don't have to be done since the new updates?

    So that apply visual transform is like the apply button on modifiers?

    • @LevelPixelLevel
      @LevelPixelLevel  Před 4 lety +1

      Yeah! It is like applying the constraint. The little X next to the influence also does this, I learned that through a comment on this video :)

  • @RomboutVersluijs
    @RomboutVersluijs Před 2 lety

    I find that "Set inverse" is kinda misleading in its name. It would better be "Use Offset" or "use current location"

    Blender 2.83 is not working for me. Has something changed?

    • @LevelPixelLevel

      Hmm try downloading my example files and let me know if those work. I tried in the latest version from the foundation and everything seemed fine.
